@adoniaayebare@AKyambadde Our Foreign Affairs Minister …. Never been this proud of a person that does not know me . The Ministry is in good hands . What a credible Cabinet we got !
FROM NEWSROOM TO FOREIGN MINISTER;
The story of @adoniaayebare is one of intellect, discipline, patience, and steady service to Uganda on the global stage.
Born on 18 October 1966, Adonia Ayebare began his professional journey far away from the corridors of international diplomacy. Like many great leaders, his rise started with words, ideas, and communication. Between 1996 and 1998, he worked as a staff reporter at the East African Business Week in Kampala, building his understanding of politics, economics, governance, and society. He later served as an Information Officer with the Integrated Regional Information Network (IRIN), sharpening his expertise in regional affairs and communication.
Behind his growing career stood a strong academic foundation. Ayebare obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication from Makerere University in 1993. Determined to deepen his understanding of international affairs, he pursued further studies in the United States, earning Master’s degrees from Long Island University and Tufts University’s prestigious Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He later attained doctoral qualifications from Indiana University and Rutgers University.
His entry into diplomacy came in 2001 when he was appointed Uganda’s Principal Adviser and Special Envoy to the Burundi peace process. It was a critical assignment that placed him at the center of regional peacebuilding efforts and introduced him to high-level international negotiations.
Between 2002 and 2005, he served as Uganda’s Ambassador and Head of Mission to Rwanda and Burundi, representing Uganda during an important period in East African regional relations. In 2005, he was transferred to Uganda’s Mission at the United Nations in New York, where he served as Deputy Permanent Representative and Chargé d’Affaires until 2008.
His expertise later earned him appointment as Director of the Africa Program at the International Peace Institute in New York, a globally respected think tank focused on peace and security. From 2010 to 2012, he returned to Uganda’s Mission to the United Nations as Deputy Head of Mission, before taking on another continental responsibility as Senior Adviser on Peace and Security at the African Union Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017.
In March 2017, Adonia Ayebare was appointed Uganda’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations — one of the country’s most significant diplomatic positions. Through this role, he has represented Uganda in major global discussions on peace, security, development, and international cooperation, earning respect as one of Uganda’s most experienced diplomatic voices.
As of today, he has been appointed Uganda’s foreign minister , Adonia Ayebare’s journey stands as an inspiration to many young Ugandans. From the newsroom in Kampala to the highest levels of global diplomacy, his story proves that education, consistency, humility, and service can transform a man from reporting history to helping shape it.
Mzee General Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,
I wish to express my deepest gratitude for the confidence and trust you have placed in me by appointing me Foreign Minister of the Republic of Uganda. I am profoundly honored by this responsibility and humbled by the opportunity to continue serving our nation under your leadership.
I remain fully committed to advancing Uganda’s foreign policy objectives, safeguarding our national interests, and strengthening our diplomatic relations across the region and globally . I pledge to serve with loyalty, diligence, and dedication in pursuit of Uganda’s peace, prosperity, and strategic aspirations.
Thank you, Your Excellency, for your continued guidance and confidence.
@owakunda_b’s death has hit me hard. I knew him since childhood, and just yesterday evening we spoke. I have rarely seen a young man so passionate about clean politics, leadership, and the future of this country. Sadly, his promising life has been cut short by a tragic accident. Rest in peace, Bruce.
It is with deep sorrow that I announce the passing of my nephew, @owakunda_b, following a tragic road accident earlier today.
Bruce was a brilliant & promising young man destined for great things, & will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
We may troll Among as she really deserves, but I don’t find it right to involve her innocent babies. They never made any choice of parents and don’t even know what’s going on. Please leave them out.
The best thing that can happen to Uganda in this term is to make Gen MK @mkainerugaba , Prime Minister ( Head of Government Business )
We would see the end of corruption in this country.
