With a healthy team spirit, social awareness and love for Africa, it's culture and people I partner in social, cultural and
eco friendly businesses.

@liotier To the HOT team, it's hard to deny HOT's policy to expand to non-humanitarian mapping, take-over of OSM. A USA based NGO, failed to build self-sustainable mapping communities in Africa, using financial power and imperialistic policies. Growing discontent in OSM and Africa.

Ending the year with a positive note. First map for operational support delivered to Uganda Police Force. Using #QGIS and #OSM to it's full power. Community maps for a good community support service. @PoliceUg @ugandaupf @qgis @openstreetmap

[Bert Araali @AfritasticBert]

No tweets yet in 2019. Time for a round up. Lots of mapping & wiki volunteer work on #OpenStreetMap - #QGIS community apps - new ideas. But most of all, looking for a job or income generating activities to finance all this for free work. Leads & tips welcome.

@AfiegoUg @nemaug Seems I am not the only being concerned and requesting more time to have the ESIA reviewed. So far conclusion: very poor mitigation measures in all aspects. #Tilenga #OilInUganda

With my 30 years of international experience as consultant, project manager and engineer in chemical and oil & gas industry reviewed 4500 pages of the #Tilenga ESIA: 20 days, about 250 pages per day. But where to send it ? @nemaug @Totaluganda @PAU_Uganda

[Bert Araali @AfritasticBert]

@EUinUG @DKAmbUganda @srivoal @UKinUganda @SwedEnvoyUganda @ADCinUganda @WCarlosIRL @HenkJanBakker3 @SusanEckey @hugo_verbist Infrastructure is coming but will the poor performing project #Tilenga be ready on time to make use of it ?

[Bert Araali @AfritasticBert]

Opportunity to comment ESIA for the #Tilenga project ends tomorrow.
My experience so far: bad points for @nemaug. Provisions to comment are very poor, missing documents / broken links https://t.co/chIrtMjLsB. @Totaluganda Have a big review report, where to send ? @PAU_Uganda
