Transitioning from environmental illiteracy to environmental literacy in Uganda
However, if nomadic pastoral people from elsewhere continue to have a field day on our biocultural landscapes, the method won’t be applicable and our agroecological farming systems will continue to disappear. This will be confounded by the ecologically and environmentally empty socioeconomic models such as Myooga, Operation Wealth Creation and Parish Development Model, which only focus on financial and economic gains of the beneficiaries at the expense of natural ecologies and environments
How dictators legitimise themselves: Time will tell if Museveni and Gen Muhoozi will free themselves from Uganda
Today, Muhoozi-Kainerugaba is a general and chief of defence forces (CDF) in which capacity he has a lot of powers, previously exercised by President Museveni, such as promoting military leaders, and can do anything under the sun. For example, during the by-election in Kawempe North, he admitted that he was the one who dispatched the paramilitary group called JATT, which reined a lot of havoc.
Uganda is in dire need of environmental pluralism but Museveni’s NRM consumerist regime won’t give in
Building the pluralism of society is a measure of a civilised, accommodative and caring society. We must not boast of success when we have succeeded in oppressing, suppressing and repressing other types and shades of pluralism.
UK Covid Inquiry was always going to do everything to bury evidence that does not suit the narrative of ‘vaccines are safe and effective’
Needless to point out, this information is nowhere to be found in the mainstream media, which does not seem to matter any longer, given the plethora of alternative news and discussion sites available to people doing their own research, as long as one remembers to cross-check information, to the fullest possible extent, before accepting its accuracy.

Retracing Ugandans’ mental stagnation that hinders personal growth and feeds intellectual fossilisation
The term intellectual death signifies a cessation of critical thinking, resulting in mental stagnation that hinders spiritual and personal growth, ultimately blocking the path to genuine enlightenment and fulfillment. Intellectual death in Uganda’s history signifies a state of mental stagnation that hinders spiritual and personal development. It involves a lack of critical thinking, which thwarts genuine enlightenment and spiritual growth. This concept emphasises the dangers of losing the ability to engage thoughtfully, ultimately leading to a cessation of personal evolution, wisdom, understanding and insights.
Emiti Emito N’ekibira: Youth are Uganda’s environmental future but they are being turned into pollutants in foreign lands
Ninety-four per cent of Ugandans rely on unsustainably sourced fuel wood, with gas being prohibitively expensive, the vast majority of Ugandans rely on charcoal or firewood that has been harvested from national forests or the private lands of impoverished farmers. There has been a 180 per cent charcoal price increase in the past six years
In Uganda environmental impact assessment is usually a presidentialist con to enable Museveni to push his agenda
Corporate sustainability deception or corporate sustainability fraud continues to predominate in the EIA process and to cause great suffering especially in the poor countries where corporates undertake projects and programmes not so much to spur development as to make money.
Africa: Where an avalanche of ‘honourables’ and ‘excellencies’ do dishonourable things to our environment
Even when they deny others their entitlements such as employment, education, transport, medicines, and various opportunities such serving as soldiers, police officers or business people etc, they retain their titles of honourable, right honourable and excellency. They will retain the tiles even if they are central to generating divisions and conflicts along ethnic lines.
Environmental racism and ethnic nepotism in Uganda are outcomes of Museveni’s apartheid-style governance
Ethnic nepotism is integral to racism and, like environmental racism, it promotes apartheid style leadership, governance and lifestyles whereby one ethnic group captures virtually all civic spaces, leadership and governance with other ethnic groups effectively excluded from leadership, governance and business and only act second fiddle to those of the ethnic group in power.
