	AEGiS-NV: Has Uganda's star finally lost its sparkle?
		Just as important, Museveni soothed festering ethnic divides that once tore apart the country, stemmed a threatened AIDS epidemic, doubled the number of children in primary school and gave women a guaranteed share of political seats.

		Part of the difficulty in persuading Museveni to accept change is that aid donors and other international backers, who embraced the president as an African star in the 1990s and who still provide much of Uganda's funding, now find it somewhat embarrassing to suggest he is less than a democratic hero.
