Ankole Anglican diocese Bishop Sheldon Mwesigwa has observed that COVID 19 pandemic has shown that no one has control over the world, not even the economically powerful.

“This COVID 19 pandemic has failed the experiment of globalization as evidenced that each country is struggling to survive in its own, there has been a tendency of world order with some countries trying to come together and rule over the world but COVID 19 has unproved this,” Bishop Sheldon noted.

The Bishop said these while speaking at a function to celebrate 10 years as the Bishop of Ankole diocese held at his home in Ruharo, Mbarara city North division, Mbarara city

“These events also teach us that human beings have limitations and God is always in charge and    control, the failure by most powerful and economically stable nations in combating the deadly Corona virus is a true manifestation that God remains in charge,” Bishop Sheldon said.

He noted that globalization is not the best system, and urged countries, individuals to put up arrangements for their own survival.
