  1. I'm from Somalia. This is worrying. Uganda was heavily criticized lately by the US for it's 'homosexual bill'.

    I can see patterns of the West and the manner in which “unfriendly governments” are dealt with.

    1) First heavy pressure is brought to bear

    2) Followed by limited strategic sanctions

    3) Sudden acts of terrorism.

  2. USA:what your opinion about LGBTQ Uganda

  3. I don't understand why other countries want to follow Americans school shootings culture?,it's unacceptable

  4. NBC do you want to tell them that this type of gun violence only happens in America?

  5. Africa needs to get rid of the wild mindset! Because no one can secure you except your selfs.

  6. Disturbing how innocent school children are targeted. Sick. Life is difficult enough for them and then to have this massacre at their supposedly safe place of learning. Sad.

  7. Probably white supremacists

  8. "Dust" is world wide.

  9. HOPE THEY BLAME IT ON THEY WHITE..MEN.. CAUSE THAS WHAT COLOR PEOPLE OR GOOD AT..

  10. They never show YT people all bloody an hurt on the news even in the russia war u never see it smh

  11. Only the most pathetic cowards prey on children in war!

  12. See eye Ey. No fool here.

  13. I don't think Ugandans would care if it was a group of gays that were killed. Anyway, thoughts and prayers.

  14. Are African Americans/BLM lining up to go fight with their kin?

  15. This was a terrorist attack by Islamic State Muslims against Christian school children. You forgot to add that part, NBC.

  16. Actually, It looks like every democrat controlled city here…

  17. What an awful, horrible tragedy. Prayers to those families and that country.

  18. Punishment for the rejection of the lgbt agenda ..

  19. Meanwhile the president of africa and his gang of thugs are in russia trying to make back room deals to line his pockets..the whole world needs to stop feeding africa

  20. The "Allied Democratic Forces". Sounds familiar.

  21. Rest in peace. Truly sad

  22. muslims dictate killing non believing infidels
