I thank H.E. William Ruto and the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) for organising the Africa We Build Summit. I am glad that the AFC are speaking my language, the language of revolution.

Africa’s GDP is only about $3.6 trillion despite our vast land and population. Countries like China were once very poor but transformed themselves through discipline, clarity of purpose, and investment. Therefore, Africa’s problem is not money; it is ideological.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Today, I met with the High Command of the UPDF to review our security situation and the strategic priorities of our country.

I thank the CDF and all officers & Men of the UPDF and commend them for their discipline, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to safeguarding Uganda’s peace and sovereignty. Our stability is built on vigilance, unity, and patriotism.

We shall continue strengthening our defence capacity to ensure that Uganda remains secure and focused on social and economic transformation.

Delivering the keynote address, ILA Director @DrKinyanjui commended ILA alumni for organising such a critical forum, saying such initiatives greatly amplify and complement the Academy’s work. He pledged the Academy’s unwavering support for Alumni initiatives.
@IGADYouthEnvoy Sam Ogwal outlined the measures that #IGAD has put in place to streamline youth involvement in peace and security. He underscored the importance of such regional forums as part of a collective effort to transform the region.
In a clear call to action, the youth presented a declaration that, among other priorities, urges meaningful youth inclusion, particularly in efforts to address the ongoing #Sudan conflict.

The youth are busy endorsing old men for positions and later, they start crying.
You can’t keep empowering the same system and expect a different future.

Just like Dr. John Garang, @RailaOdinga has left behind political orphans whose careers now hang in the balance.

We join our brothers and sisters in Kenya in mourning the passing of a formidable leader, Raila Odinga.

A few days ago, I was blessed to host a podcast after the @IGADLeadership training.

I deeply appreciate IGAD Leadership Academy for believing in us and for giving youth a space to share, learn, and inspire. Opportunities like this remind me that when young people are empowered
