Uganda hurtling to self-annihilation for ignoring environmental pluralism
In Uganda we are witnessing environmental pluralism reduced by encouraging the spread of the grass-cow culture of the nomadic pastoral human energy system. Through what appeared to be tolerated by the National Resistance Movement Regime (NRM), members of this human energy system, some coming from as far as Rwanda, Tanzania and the Mulenge area of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are grabbing land everywhere, destroying our agroecological systems and natural ecosystems to establish gazing systems where nature supported settled peoples in relation to the natural environments
How Uganda is a classic case of environmental corruption polluting environmental democracy
Development should mean qualitative improvement in human rights, democracy and freedom of choice. When one says he or she is experiencing development, that person should be saying that today more than yesterday and tomorrow more than today, one is enjoying maximum progress in all the dimensions of human welfare”.
Why Museveni brutally enforces discriminatory laws and policies that repress rights of indigenous Ugandans
Violence initiated by policy-making can be categorised as “structural violence,” where policies unintentionally or intentionally create conditions that lead to harm or violence. This can manifest in various ways, including through policies that marginalise specific groups, perpetuate inequalities, or have unintended consequences that lead to conflict or violence.
Uganda’s militarist politics: Why Museveni’s NRM system assigns lion’s share of budget to the army
In Nigeria and other former British colonies, officers governed like they fought battles – to them, politics was war by other means. Civilians were subjected to military-style discipline, which was indistinguishable from tyranny. Soldiers promised law and order, and they saw judges as allies in their mission to make society more like an army. But law was not the disciplinary tool soldiers thought it was.
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.
