KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Opposition figures and others in Uganda on Tuesday criticized an agreement with the United States to receive deported migrants, questioning the lack of parliamentary approval and charging that the deal eases political pressure on the country’s authoritarian president.

After facing U.S. sanctions that have targeted many government officials, including the parliamentary speaker, Ugandan President Yoweri “Museveni will be happy” to transact with Washington, said Ibrahim Ssemujju, a lawmaker who is a prominent opposition figure. “He will be asking, ‘When are you bringing them?’”
