Uganda-Iran Oil Deal Fail

description

A recent trip to Uganda by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not result in an oil deal for the African country.  Last year, Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni invited Iranian investors to build a refinery in his country but, due to the threat of American and UN sanctions, no deal was passed when Ahmadinejad was in country recently.
