Check on here : http://allafrica.com/stories/printable/200809250024.html As Ugandans continue to crack their nuts as to find where is this Land Egypt is claiming for , the answer is simple and is just at the point of your noise . The Land Mr Museveni wants to sell to Egypt is West Nile . WHY ? Mr Museveni ( The President of Uganda ) is just onto sell LADO ( LADO ENCLAVE ) STATE KINGDOM to Egypt ( for Egyptian control of West Nile Region ( Lado ) in a political line build up issue because Museveni is aware now of Lado 's History which is much connected to the History of Egypt and therefore it would be easy to extend Lado to be controlled by Egypt for him . Reports say that Lado people are already aware of these political manuvaours by the two countries ( Egypt and Uganda ) NOTE : Historical facts Previously a part of the Ottoman -Egyptian province of Equatoria, Lado came under the control of the British, who, under the stipulations of the 1894 British - Belgian Congolese Treaty, leased the area to King Leopold II of Belgium for the period of his lifetime. In exchange, Belgium agreed to cede a strip of land in eastern Congo when construction of the Cape to Cairo railway was to begin. The enclave had an area of about 15,000 square miles, a population of about 250,000 and had its capital at the town of Lado. The Lado Enclave was important to the Congo Free State as it included Rejaf, which was the terminus for boats on the Nile. Rejaf was the seat of the Commander, the only Belgian colonial official within the enclave, who were in place from 1897 to June 1910. On 10 June 1910, following Léopold's death, the district became a province of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and in 1912 the southern half ( today known as West Nile ) was ceded to Uganda,the British colony . It is noted however hereby that Mr Museveni is quite aware of the Independence Question issue Lado State is raising in United Nation fpr her full Independence Freedom in Sudan Central Africa than still remain to be occupied by Britain and Belgium and with the assistance of some African Countries of which Uganda and Egypt are so much involved .
