On my brother @FrankGashumba threatening to start another M23 in Uganda, we shall call him and discuss his issues in the PLU Central Committee. Point of information, I outrank ndugu Gashumba both in Rwanda and Eastern DRC.
Katwe Division Police Commander, SP Innocent Mubagizi, regularly sets aside time from his busy schedule to engage with wananchi on TikTok, answering questions and receiving feedback from the public.
This is a commendable initiative that can help strengthen community policing and improve service delivery. It would be great to see more @PoliceUg officers adopt similar platforms to connect with the communities they serve.
Thank you, Ndugu. 🙏🏿
Those are just hollow words, and mean nothing.
See, though FIFA is registered under SWISS Law as 'NOT-FOR-PROFIT INTERNATIONAL NGO', looking at it's Global Commercial Monopoly and the way it behaves, FIFA is a fully fledged CORPORATE EMPIRE like the rest of them; GOOGLE, AMAZON, etc. And like all Corporate Empires, it is systemically APRIORI AMORAL! It's CONSTRUCT is about PROFITS and and not feeling shame, guilt, or remorse. So forget about fairness or common sense for that Somali referee,or whoever, and whatever else.
BECAUSE, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!
WHEN MOB JUSTICE TRANSITIONS INTO VIGILANTISM AND BECOMES A CORE PILLAR OF A CORRUPT STATE THAN JUST A SYMPTOM OF INSTITUTIONAL FAILURES- The case of BODA-BODA IMPUNITY AND VIOLENCE:
When we look at the BODA-BODA IMPUNITY in the Country, especially in Kampala, and the Political vigilantee groups now emerging, which torment/kill Political opponents or commercial rivals, you see something monstrous, beyond the so-called "symptom of institutional/judiciary,police, failures. You see MOB VIOLENCE which is growing into an ALTERNATIVE INFORMAL JUSTICE SYSTEM of sorts.
So, if we are not careful, this lack of PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY and the NORMALISATION OF VIOLENCE AND IMPUNITY by both those holding power and the POPULATION can wreak havoc on the country.
And then can easily descend into high stakes criminality of the magnitude capable of causing the collapse of the FORMAL STATE. In those situations, the Country SECURITY SERVICES become compromised and you get situations like we see in Nigeria where the Population is at the mercy of armed militias, South Africa where armed bandits patrol streets; saw it in CAR,etc. And if uncontrolled, then you can get a HAITI, A COLOMBIA, etc. So we need to be tough on these groups but also address the underlying causes.
You lived by the words ‘Manners maketh man,’ and even in your final moments, you remained true to them. You didn’t fight back you only raised your hands to shield yourself. 💔 The kindness, humility, and grace you showed until the very end will never be forgotten. Perhaps this world didn’t deserve a heart as beautiful as yours, and that’s why God called you home.@PoliceUg Please let’s find the men that hit him with bricks and concrete blocks so we don’t fail our champion as a nation . 🕊️🤍
@nampeera_ HERO!
Built for the battle on field,could have easily tackled his way out the situation bt the gentleman in him wasn’t going to let him hurt anybody.
His character is the real strength.
A true ambassador to the Rugby sport.
RIP CHAMPION

1/4 He carried a huge log in the video but wore a smile during his arrest. What the Sydney Gongodyo case tells us about the illusion of the crowd. With 10 suspects now in custody, including Mugwiisa Obed. The legal machinery is moving. But the psychological reality is chilling.
2/4 When people join a mob, a phenomenon called deindividuation occurs. The crowd acts as a shield. The individual convinces themselves that "everyone is doing it, so no one is responsible." They lose their personal moral compass to the collective 60 seconds of total madness.
3/4 The annoying smile on a suspect's face isn't just a lack of remorse. It is the psychological lag of someone who still hasn’t realized the whole crowd that was at the scene is gone, the shield is broken, and that he is now standing entirely alone before the law.
4/4 The impulse to meet brutality with immediate retributive violence is understandable in our grief. But true justice means letting the law dismantle the mob piece by piece. Let the courts deliver the definitive accountability that a lawless crowd never could. #JusticeForSydney
