VIDEO: Moses Nsubuga Kibuuka, a grandson of Mukajanga, the chief executioner of the Uganda Martyrs, has defended his grandfather's role in the killings, arguing that he was carrying out orders from his superiors and risked being killed had he refused.
Speaking during this year's Martyrs' Day commemorations, Kibuuka said plans are underway to develop Mukajanga's burial site into a tourism attraction. 📹Jane Nafula
Africa must pass through the painful labour of a true second liberation. This time, the chains are not always visible. They are hidden in contracts, debt, stolen minerals, captured leaders, and systems designed to keep African nations rich in resources but poor in dignity.
What is happening in South Africa is not isolated. It is a mirror held before the continent. Too many Africans have been taught to doubt themselves, to kneel before foreign approval, and to help outsiders loot the very soil that should feed our children and build our future.
Our greatest betrayal is not only from outside. It is from those among us who sell the continent cheaply, defend exploitation, and protect foreign interests while ordinary Africans suffer. These are the minds that must be liberated, confronted, exposed, and removed from public trust.
Africa must belong to Africans in truth, not in slogans. We must clean our institutions, reclaim our resources, rebuild our confidence, and refuse to be managed like a conquered people. The second liberation will not be easy, but history is calling, and Africa must answer.
That 60% tuition draconian policy got us the poor private students boiling up. I almost caused my mother early heart attack. I was commander 001 from @UH_HALL. This photo of me ring leading with a long bamboo featured in @DailyMonitor and my relatives went berserk 🤣🤣🙌
So Ronnie Mulindwa formerly of Obsessions and ex manager of Lydia Jazmine has been running an online escort sex ring of girls in Kyanja. These gals are recruited and trained to entertain non Ugandans sexually. Good job Police @PoliceUg@KawalaRachael@Luke
We enter life with different genetic gifts: brilliance, athleticism, or beauty. Yet society draws a sharp line at looks. We celebrate hiring a genius for their mind or an athlete for their prowess, but recoil if someone gets a job just for being beautiful. Why do we oppose beauty as a professional qualification while gladly accepting other genetic lotteries? What makes looks so different?
“Currently we’re witnessing the final act of the mad, incendiary project of a totally wired world, of the reckless belief that 24/7 availability of electrical power to a planet of 8 billion people was achievable without the disastrous consequences now occurring everywhere.”

Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.
Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.
Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.
There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.
