When they talk about their fake history full of massacres… Exactly one year ago, the same Satanyahu — who calls himself a “friend of the Iranian people” — bombed Tehran’s main water pipeline at Ghods Junction in Tajrish. Supplying 15 million civilians. On a busy street full of innocent drivers and their passengers. Zionist “friendship” in action.

Daily monitor once told us.

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has long held mixed views on foreign exchange reserves. In 2013, 2016, and 2021, he sharply criticised the practice of keeping liquid reserves in foreign banks, describing it as “donating” African wealth to developed nations. Now he has proposed a significant reversal: the creation of a Uganda Oil Fund, once oil revenues begin to flow, explicitly modelled on Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global – widely known as the Oil Fund. Regarded as the world’s most successful sovereign wealth fund, Norway’s Oil Fund invests 100% of its assets abroad. Norwegian law expressly forbids domestic investment, and the fund’s entire $2 trillion portfolio is held in international financial markets. His earlier attacks on foreign reserves appear to have been triggered by criticism of his 2011 decision to bypass parliament and order the central bank to draw down $400 million –eventually rising to $740 million – from Uganda’s foreign reserves to purchase Russian Sukhoi Su-30MK2 fighter jets. That unilateral move reduced the country’s import cover from six months to four months, triggering high inflation and a serious domestic economic crisis in late 2011. Whether this marks a genuine shift in Museveni’s convictions remains to be seen when US dollars or Euros land in Uganda’s oil accounts in Kampala in future.

Pecos Kutesa confessed to this.

Man!! I really hate how fear has made us stupid. I see professional journalists and reputable media houses using “allegedly” and “reportedly” even where there’s irrefutable evidence and confirm we still have a long way to go!

Why don't Advocates temporarily boycott Court? It's high time we learnt where everyone stands on these matters! And only a fool will think that what's happened to Erias Lukwago is too far away to happen to him in the middle of executing their own professional duties!

This fellow thinks he’s funny!!

As a transitional justice expert, I’m familiar with this kind of silence. It’s not that people can’t see what’s wrong, no. it’s the deep pain they’re carrying that keeps them quiet. It’s easy to mistake that silence for peace, but it’s not. It’s tension building beneath the surface. Then one day, something seemingly small, like the price of bread going up triggers an explosion. That’s how dangerous years of bottled-up anger can be. The English call it “the calm before the storm.” Ate awo babera tebakyafugika.

OVERHEARD: “Namibia’s President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is slashing her country’s debts, having wielded the axe to chop Cabinet from 21 to 14 while genuinely tackling corruption. Meanwhile, some of her regional peers are rubber-stamping nearly 90 ministers, sinking deeper into debt, and performing the usual hollow dance of "fighting corruption." Me thinks Namibia should lend her on a rotational basis to struggling African economies, no?
