US imposes sanctions on Uganda for anti-gay law

United States (US) imposes sanctions on Uganda for anti-gay law.

The US has imposed sanctions on Uganda for anti-gay laws it says are "counter to universal human rights".

It said Ugandans involved in human rights abuses against gay people would be banned from entering the US.
The White House is also cutting funds to a number of programmes it is running with the Ugandan authorities, and cancelling a military exercise.
Uganda has said it will not be pressed by the West to change the laws, which can see gay people jailed for life.
 personally, i see this as a threat to other anti-gay countries in Africa
