The Tragic Day 37 Years Ago When the Uganda State Army Baked Its Own People Alive
On 11 July 1989, at Okungulo Railway Station in Mukura, Kumi District, eastern Uganda, a horrific atrocity was committed against local civilians.
The victims were farmers, teachers, sons and fathers from the surrounding Teso villages, rounded up by the National Resistance Army’s (NRA) 106th Battalion on suspicion of being rebel collaborators. More than a hundred of these local men were driven into a single, unventilated steel goods wagon and locked inside.
The afternoon heat at Okungulo Railway Station was already suffocating when the heavy iron door was slammed shut and the bolts slid into place, sealing them inside the metal box.
Within minutes, the air vanished. Inside, it became a pitch-black furnace. Men stripped off their clothes, drenched in their own sweat and the sweat of those pressed tightly against them. They began to gasp, their chests heaving in vain for oxygen.
Desperate, they hammered their fists against the corrugated steel walls, screaming for water, for air, for mercy.
Outside, the response to their cries was a strike of a match. Soldiers gathered brushwood and lit a fire directly beneath the wagon.
The steel floor turned into a scorching hot pan, and the wagon became an oven. The rising heat and smoke consumed the last remaining pockets of oxygen. Inside the belly of the iron beast, the frantic thumping slowly faded, replaced by the sound of men choking and collapsing onto one another.
When the doors were finally opened hours later, the silence was absolute. Sixty-nine bodies lay contorted in the dark, piled in a desperate, final scramble towards the cracks in the door.
A concrete monument was eventually built to mark the mass grave of those who perished that day. Yet the nation has never truly come to terms with the horror of what happened.
Because this dark chapter remained unaddressed in the national conscience for so long, their restless ghosts continue to haunt the country’s memory.

@SpireJim @URAuganda That's equivalemt to a trophy or medal. Does that have a transaction value when it's non-transactional?

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.

Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.

He must be released.

Today we issued an emergency appeal to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, asking him to secure the immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a prominent Palestinian pediatrician who is facing an imminent threat to his life while in Israeli detention. https://t.co/bqMIq7O8lv

@AKasingye False equivalence. Private contracts are not the same as the Social contract and not being upto date in your private matters does not preclude one from demanding compliance with laws from the government to which one pays taxes. Write like u have some minimal education.

@FredShaka @mkainerugaba @NamaraDennisMP @SSssebunya @NathanNuwagira2 It's like asking anyone to claim that his side mirrors or number plates can't be stolen. That a crime can occur does not make the criminal a genius and the victim hapless!

Imagine waking up to discover you've been erased from your own company.

Your shares are gone. Your name has disappeared as a director. New directors have been appointed. Bank mandates have changed.

There's only one problem...
You never signed a thing.

"The evidence... convincingly demonstrates that the Applicant did not attend the said meeting and that the Applicant's purported signature on the contested documents was fabricated."

That was the reality in Kanyesigye Asaph v Kamanya David Magaga & Others (2026).

The Applicant discovered that a special resolution had allegedly transferred his shares, removed him as a director and company secretary, and replaced him with another individual. But the evidence told a different story.

A forensic handwriting expert concluded that the signatures were forged. MTN call data showed that the Applicant was nowhere near the company's offices on the day the "meeting" allegedly took place. More damaging still, there were no notices, no minutes, no attendance records, and no proof that the statutory procedures under the Companies Act had been followed.

The Assistant Registrar did not merely condemn the irregularities he wiped the slate clean.

The forged share transfer, special resolutions, amended company forms, board resolutions, changes in shareholding, and even subsequent banking mandates were all expunged from the register for having been illegally endorsed or wrongfully obtained.

The lesson? Corporate governance is not theatre. You cannot forge signatures, skip statutory procedures, file documents at URSB, and hope legality will follow. A company register records the law it does not create it.

@SharonKyomugis2 As long as it accommodates Court staff, suspects, their lawyers and a few interested court reporters, its enough. Court is not a circus.
