President Museveni: A Tutsi creeper who wiggled to power in Uganda, now using it to mutilate the Pearl of Africa
In Africa, Uganda is one of the countries that have experienced the highest turnovers of government since the end of orthodox colonialism. Most of the changes have come through the barrel of the gun. In countries such as Ghana and Nigeria, where the barrel of the gun used to mediate...
Hospitals in Gaza on brink of collapse as after, power and medicine supplies run out
More than a week after Israel stopped entry of essential supplies, all eyes were on the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, where trucks carrying aid have waited for days to pass through. Israeli airstrikes last week forced the shutdown of Rafah, Gaza’s only connection to Egypt.
Robert F Kennedy Jr dumps Democratic Party, enters race for White House as ‘unpolluted’ independent
Kennedy accused both parties of being beholden to corporate donors, telling the crowd: “How can we guard life when for-profit corporations have captured the public agencies that are supposed to protect us? How can we enjoy liberty when a surveillance state seeks to hide the truth and quash dissent?”
How Vandals of Uganda captured state, created a slave society where investors trample on workers
It is not surprising that recent scientifically-backed assertions have put the number of mentally deranged Ugandans at 14 million out of a population of 45 million. If one was not reserved in use of words, one would say that this deplorable situation reflects poor governance of the country. A country is its people and resources. Governance that separates people from resources and concentrates on exploiting the resources without any strategy to renew, conserve or distribute them fairly among the people, is failed governance, a result of misgovernance. In this case the people and their communities are taken as roadblocks to progress.
Israel-Hamas war in Gaza testing Republican’s isolationist shift as voters doubt Trump’s credentials
The Republican Party’s White House hopefuls are offering conflicting messages on the mounting foreign policy challenges as a presidential election long centered on domestic kitchen-table issues suddenly shifts its focus abroad. The rapidly evolving dynamics are testing the limits of the GOP’s embrace of an isolationist foreign policy and threaten to undermine the party’s broader argument that Democratic President Joe Biden has mismanaged US relationships with the rest of the world.
How President Museveni’s Rwandan Tutsi origins power apartheid-style governance in Uganda
Segregation in education began to take root as soon as President Tibuhaburwa Museveni enforced Universal Primary Education (UPE) in 1997, followed by Universal Secondary Education (USE), without corresponding efficient equipping of the schools with necessary materials, or just salaries for teachers. Teachers have to engage in multiple types of work to make ends meet. Both UPE and USE are very poorly funded.
Trading Musevenism for Kyagulanyism: Uganda’s enduring identity politics and man-eat-man interests
One unswerving Kyagulanyism states that Kyagulanyism is Ugandanism, which is self-rediscovery and self-empowerment of everyone in order to reinstitute the sovereignty of the traditional nation states of Uganda. However, I have not yet come across a clear integration, articulation and clarification of these ideals, although I have several times heard Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the political head of the new political party National Unity Party (NUP), currently the majority political party in the parliament of Uganda.

Uganda: When the madness of an entire nation feeds discontent, insecurity, rebellion and suicide
When you hear of young children committing suicide – something that used to be done by adults – then discontent and insecurity in the heads of people of all ages is a real challenge that cannot be tackled militarily.
Angry Republicans vent anger on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy by ousting him in historic vote
Tuesday’s rebellion was led by Representative Matt Gaetz, a far-right Republican from Florida and McCarthy antagonist who finally turned on the speaker after he on Saturday relied on Democratic votes to help pass a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Why allegations that Rwanda President Paul Kagame took part in bank robberies in Uganda have never been investigated
It is true that the small ethnic group that the rulers of Rwanda and Uganda belong to has continued to dominate employment opportunities in every sector of the economy. They also dominate business, the army, police, prisons and different paramilitary groups, intelligence and even administrative jobs such as those of resident district commissioners (RDCs) and permanent secretaries.
