🔴BREAKING NEWS📢 The Ministry of Forest Affairs Western Group just issued a statement😳 OFFICIAL STATEMENT - Ngogo Territory Kibale National Park, Western Uganda Issued; April 12, 2026 - 08:00 Hours Forest Time (HFT) "To the attention of all Ugandans, the international community, global media, and all visiting human beings currently present or planning presence within our sovereign territory. Our conflict with the Central Group is a sovereign military operation following the political crisis of 2015 and the disputed succession of our former Alpha leadership, and the ongoing killings of women and children. Disregard any fake news that humans can't visit the forest. These are internal matters and they will be resolved soon. However, since your media has chosen to make it your concern and characterising it as a "civil war." we are therefore issuing the following conditions to ensure safe passage for all human beings currently or still planning to be in our territory. 1. All visitors must maintain a minimum distance of 8 metres from our forces at all times. We are in an active combat. 2. No flash photography, consider this your only and last warning. We are at war not a planned photoshoot. 3. One hour maximum, no extensions, non negotiable. 4. No food left unattended, this is not a restaurant and all litter leaves with you. We are fighting for this forest, this is our land, this is our home. 5. Your face masks should be up all the times. We have already lost enough women and children in this on going conflict. Ceasefire negotiations with the Central Group are ongoing, progress is still slow. The Alpha leadership question remains unresolved. The war is ours, human beings can still visit the forest, responsibly." Office of the Western Command Spokesperson Ngogo Chimpanzee Nation, Kibale, Uganda🇺🇬 #ChimpCivilWar #KibaleNationalPark

Life of a businessman 12 days ago, I left for Mombasa to engage some leaders about some ideas in my head that time. After 3 nights I left for Malindi by car for 2 nights specifically to attend essence of Africa expo. I also had a speaking engagement at the same meeting which really went well from the feedback. My role was to discuss Intra tourism and its future and Ofcourse put some advert for Uganda and Rwanda. Then flew to Nairobi on Wednesday night last week for presentations on @RwenzoriMarathn and something new which I think went so well. Those travels are on many occasions test you as person, you miss your family, the food you are generally used but nothing just happens. On Friday night, I leave for entebbe, arriving home 1am of Saturday , woke up early to take my son for his football training at Olympia, 4hrs of sleep. On Friday my son says dad, I know you will be so tired, why don’t you find someone to take me. Told him, while I appreciate your concern, I will take you for your game and that’s my responsibility when am around. I leave entebbe and Jinja for a days work. Sunday the 12th, we leave for Murchison falls national park, my son wanted a proper guided tour not the usual ones dad takes him for. Very great time with my youngest son, deep discussions about life, tourism and general business. Funny but we booked a safari with @SafarisUganda and paid for it, Ofcourse I got complimentary accommodation and boat experience. I don’t even have to ask. Murchison river lodge gave us free or complimentary accommodation and Wildfrontier gave us from boat experience . I then I realized my body needed this rest and took advantage of the lack of internet and network generally. Sometimes I wish it was easier but I know better, it’s never easy especially if your responsibility is to break the chain of poverty like me. I can’t think and act like those that don’t have that responsibility. I have to pay the price for it.
