Why Uganda has consistently failed to overcome ethnic nepotism and become a thriving democracy
The organisations in perspective are Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) and the Democratic Party (DP) both of which are the oldest parties in the country, and which were formed during the colonial times to agitate for Black rule and end to colonialism. Their top leaders have been conscripted to serve power and no longer provide meaningful leadership of their parties. There is no effective political development in these Parties anymore.

It will be a long road to the GOP’s national convention in Milwaukee next summer when Republican delegates across the country gather to finalise their nominee to run against President Joe Biden. Surprises are guaranteed. Fortunes will change.

Uganda gay law: Homosexuality mutating into new tool of imperialism West is using to cast Africa as uncivilised, backward, savage and homophobic
It is clear that the Global Homosexuality Movement is determined not only to stay afloat but to penetrate Africa by hook or crook but using highly educated Africans, many trained in the West. Now that Uganda has got a law to fight homosexuality, it needs to open up to confront the movement using national debates especially among the youth and at our universities.
