Terrorism in Uganda is real and expanding but indifferent President Museveni thinks heavily armed police will address the evil
People don’t just become violent – either as terrorists or trouble shooters in all spheres of life. They only explode in out to pour their anger and frustrations out. Frequently the anger and frustrations result in mental collapse.
Uganda’s dependency syndrome: How President Museveni vacuum-cleaned 48m Ugandans, then twisted them into marionettes
Let’s encourage people to become independent minded rather than depend on others to think for them. If all thinking emanates from one person there is danger of such phenomenon sinking everyone in the abys of disaster and tragedy, which may last for ages.
Fracture within Ecowas and animosity with US provides ideal ground for terrorism in West Africa

Hereditary political leadership leads to nepotism and corruption as those in power may use their positions to favour family members, friends and allies rather than making decisions based on the greater good. This can erode trust in institutions and undermine the rule of law.
