Canada cites the "evolving security and political situation in Uganda, including recent concerns about serious human rights violations" and says "some Ugandan nationals and former residents may face increased risks if required to return to the country."

"This decision is a betrayal of Canada’s stated commitment to human rights, corporate accountability, and communities around the world that have suffered harm as a result of activities by Canadian companies operating abroad" -- letter to Carney by NDP MP Heather McPherson
Reaction to Canada/US travel ban: "The current situation involves very limited cases and does not warrant treating an entire nation of close to 50 million people as a risk. Precaution is necessary. Blanket restrictions are not."
@yulia_navalnaya I have never forgotten, and I will never forget. In Canada, this is the poppy symbol we have used for decades, for Remembrance Day. Your precious husband will remain in my memory as you - and your children, remain in my thoughts and heart.
The Trump administration's response to the Ebola outbreak: it announces that it is setting up "Ebola clinics" in DRC and Uganda. The Ugandan government promptly denies it.
@geoffreyyork Prime Minister Carney, please reconsider this slashing of aid funds in countries that are in dire need. We are a country that provides aid to save lives.... the 2.7 billion cut to foreign aid over the next 4 years will result in countless deaths of children, women and men.
“An important pillar of our foreign policy is just missing. Canada talks a big game about being a serious global actor, but there is no plan and no real ambition."
As deaths rise from global aid cuts, campaigners try to reverse Canada's $2.7-billion cut.

Canada drops out of a US-sponsored military exercise in Africa. A byproduct of PM Carney's emphasis on diversifying Canada's foreign links away from the US: the Canadian army's resources are increasingly stretched thin, and Africa falls off the table.

Russia's Africa Corps had promised security to #Mali's junta. Instead, it's left civilians terrorized by brutality, beheadings, rapes, and burned villages. Meanwhile, jihadists advance. Coup regimes are not the answer. And the Sahel is paying the price.

@Gerashchenko_en Canada. I've been following since 2022. I appreciate your reporting and insights. If I could access it elsewhere, I would delete my X account.
I've been donating plasma. Will be giving it a re-think.

@RickBen76292242@BobRae48 Mr. Bennett, I respect that you seem to dislike Mr. Rae. I think we're very fortunate to live in a country where we can disagree and where we can voice our dislike of someone or something. What confuses me is your need to be vulgar.
@anna_lippman@BobRae48 I think you should be ashamed, Anna, for criticizing a person who is taking a vacation. In Canada, we all get to take vacations of one sort or another. That doesn't mean that we don't care about other people who are suffering.
