CANCELLATIONS FOR UGANDA EXPO

AT LEAST 50 United States businessmen said on the weekend that they will not attend an international exhibition in the Ugandan capital Kampala next month, citing the March 1 rebel attack on tourists in southwest Uganda that left two Americans dead. The expo will coincide with a general assembly of the Group of 77 developing countries. Uganda was expected to host up to 2000 businessmen from over 120 countries who will explore ways of improving information exchanges on trade and commercial activities.
