Trump’s relentless push to ‘own’ Greenland may have precipitated self-immolation of US as a superpower
Trump’s interest in Greenland is as inexplicable and personal as ever a presidential side quest was. Seeking control from the Danes of a territory holding just 57,000 people and land mostly covered by mile-thick ice is not some long-held conservative shibboleth; it’s not something long lectured about in international-relations classrooms .
Uganda’s January 15 General Election demonstrates that democracy cannot be built through a process designed to prevent it
We argue that elections under the NRM have become empty ceremonies because the system is engineered around three reinforcing mechanisms: digital authoritarianism, which controls the narrative and isolates citizens.
Call for systemic transformation of Uganda in face of environmental bankruptcy, militarism and displaced stewardship
Our system produces “dispensary graduates” – hyper-specialised technicians trained in isolated disciplines. This cult of specialisation makes sense for producing cogs in an industrial machine, but it is nonsensical for solving complex socio-ecological crises.
Social media platforms promises of thundering creator economy initially feel like a big hit until careers begin tumbling overnight
For more than five years, I built a legitimate career as a digital creator and business owner on Meta’s platforms. This was not casual or accidental. It required consistency, long hours, intellectual labour, emotional energy and the slow accumulation of trust with a global audience. Like many creators, my work spanned content creation, community engagement, brand building and revenue generation.
When social media platforms promise creator economy, it arrives as a big and scalable hit until careers begin tumbling overnight

Empowering indigenous people: Demilitarising environmental conservation in Uganda
By implementing these reforms, Uganda can shift towards a more inclusive and sustainable approach to environmental leadership, prioritizing community rights and ecological conservation.
Reclaiming Uganda’s future through endogenous development and community ecological governance
Uganda’s agro-ecological systems, which have sustained communities for generations, are under threat. The promotion of industrial agriculture and monoculture farming has led to soil degradation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. This not only undermines food security but also erodes the cultural knowledge and practices that underpin Uganda’s agricultural heritage.
After demanding and failing to extort bribes from Somali businessmen, Junet referred them to ‘the honest Luhyia Raila had sacked’ for help
The Kenyan-Somalis personally gave the former prime minister the cash, had a chat with him, took pictures and left us behind as can be seen in the photo provided. It’s here that Raila gave us the story of his brother Agola who died after he was released from police custody.
Hurdles publishing Ugandan academics must confront as they descend from highs of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to ordinary mortals
We propose a different, profoundly rewarding path: a shift from publishing for career development to publishing for public education. This is not a step down from academic rigor, but a step out – into a broader, more accessible and potentially more impactful arena.
