COVID-19: 1. As of today, there is no effective treatment for this virus. Greedy people will try to sell you cures etc. Please remember the lies that were merchandised in the early years of HIV/AIDS - including Nnalongo's "anointed soil" in Masaka; the steroids by self-styled ...

Fellow Ugandans, I completely understand the mental struggle that many people have with the idea of locking down, even shutting down, our country. Trust me, I am not one who is blind to the realities of our socio-economically challenged country, and the struggles of Mundua, ...

#Biraaro #Uganda #UPDF #Museveni

In the days gone by, the great poets of Ankole would have already composed ebyevugo (heroic recitations) in praise of Buta bwa Biraaro bya Kagina. Not because of his exploits in the heroic struggle in the jungles of Luwero or his military valor in the post-1986 combat zones inside ...

Museveni: Follow great threat, not great trek, with real trek

#Museveni #great #trek #life #presidency

Yoweri Museveni’s great trek down memory lane last week was about the future, not the past. His future, not that of his subjects. The president, not one to do things fwaaa, was sending a barely veiled message to those with illusions of taking power ...

Last week’s presidential walk against corruption was a cynical manipulation of its victims. It was a deceitful dance of the insatiable gourmand before digging deeper into the national cake. It was the futile effort of the sorcerer’s apprentice long after defeat by ...

Dear “Maama”, To begin with, I have a mother, just like millions of other Ugandans. This is both a statement of fact and a biological necessity. Even though I am one of those who cannot, for a number of reasons, refer to you as Maama, I am of the firm view ...
