EU students vanish from UK with £893million in loans trib.al/fmabg3R

Dear Xenophobic South Africans 🇿🇦, For those of you who foolishly think you don’t have your people in other countries, and that even if you do, they are all staying there legally, On March 1, 2026, 63 South Africans were deported from Ireland to South Africa. This operation was carried out by the Garda National Immigration Bureau. 10 (~16%) of the deportees were convicted of offences in Ireland. This is how civilised countries handle illegal immigration. The country doesn’t allow citizens to behave like animals, go around beating up anyone who doesn’t speak their language, loot their shops, and dehumanise them, as is happening in South Africa. rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/030… independent.co.uk/news/world…

This is culinary treason against Tooro. The lady should be arrested and charged with treason and the camera person charged with misprision of treason. You do not slander Firinda like that and walk free. ☹️

We don’t beat and kill them, we simply deport them. Thats the difference

I don’t want to sound clique but I think Uganda needs domestic flights. Because tell me how I had a busy day yesterday but had to drive to Kasese? I know I could have chosen to move on another but well, all the week is fully loaded with things. I’ve on several occasions had clients who wished there were domestic flights as this would ease movements. Imagine a trip from Kampala to Arua, Gulu, Kasese, or Kidepo can take several hours by road, sometimes on difficult routes. RELIABLE and AFFORDABLE domestic flights would save time, boost tourism, support business growth, and improve connectivity across the country. A tourist should be able to land at Entebbe and reach Kidepo in under two hours, not spend an entire day on the road. Domestic air travel is not a luxury it is an important part of modern infrastructure that can unlock Uganda’s economic potential. I know someone would say, a tourist should be able to enjoy our “beautiful” roads, culture and diversity. But that can as well be enjoyed even when flying. All I am trying to say is, give someone an option to choose. Whether to enjoy a road trip or do a chopper instead. We can have many service providers, have route days, etc etc. I know this is already happening, but it only favors the big dogs. I mean the super wealthy. I’m talking about flights that will favor all of us. I don’t have a problem paying $300 for a to and from flight. It’s time to make the country more accessible from the sky. Dear Uncle @mukulaa any thoughts sir?

Looking at this video where a 90-year-old woman who cannot walk is being carried out of her house while crying calling Allah for help because her house my is set to be demolished broke me down. 💔 In May, the Prime Minister, @R_Nabbanja, launched the Uganda Wetland Strategic Plan 2026–2036, a 10 year plan focusing on the government’s commitment to protecting wetlands from encroachment, degradation and climate change. On paper, this is a strong and necessary plan. But what is happening on the ground tells a very different story. Instead of fair and consistent implementation, what we are seeing feels selective and painful for many ordinary citizens. Bulldozers, police, and the UPDF are being deployed to demolish homes and families are left displaced with little clarity on compensation or relocation. Instead of engaging them through fair and humane process. You’re destroying their houses and arrest them too, Just adding salt to their wounds. How do we explain a situation where long standing homes are demolished while some commercial developments and recent constructions in wetland areas appear untouched? Like Stabex I am not saying people should remain in wetlands. That is not the solution. But if the goal is real environmental protection then the process must be for everyone not targeting few leaving others behind . Dear @nemaug , Environmental protection is important but so is fairness, accountability, and transparency in how it is carried out. We want change but change must not target only the poor while overlooking powerful actors and large corporations that pollute more in wetland.

After the demolition of people’s homes by @nemaug , a devastated mother reportedly chose to take her own life, overwhelmed by the pain of losing everything. In the video, her young son can be seen desperately pleading with her not to do it.
