Admin i made it from Russia. I eacaped. 4 of us did. Unfortunately two other Ugandan friends died there. I am even crying writing this. I told myself i wasn't going to get on social media and say anything but the nightmares i get are too much.
I studied Engineering. Graduated with honors in 2024. I had struggled for a good job but had work. Only for someone to contact me via my LinkedIn profile last year. It was a lady. A munyankore lady. An opening to train and learn fixing machines in a factory in Russia. Two months later i found out there were others going with me. 8 other individuals.
We got very quick help with our passports, visas were cleared, transportation was free, and accomodation there would be free.
We transited through Istanbul, then made it Moscow.
Moment we got there, our passports were taken, they provided us contracts in Russian, and you cant have your phone to translate so people just signed because you knew you were in trouble already, and then only to find out the job descriptions had changed. You left that room, talked to everyone else and thats when you found out you were fucked. I remember this Bangladeshi guy walking to us and saying..
"African? You are sacrifice. We all are. What are you doing here?"
I told him "Engineer."
He laughed and replied, "Dead Engineer. They are taking us to fight."
When we later got the contract translated, the offer was $2000 every month and Russian citizenship. I remember this Russian guy telling us in broken English "You speak English. We want. They give you jobs behind. No frontline."
Then he turned and told his friends "Myortvye obezyanyi". Dead Monkeys. Which is something we would hear a lot.
And it came to be true. Me, another guy called Lukembo Jimmy, and Tumwebaze Deogratius (both dead) were placed in the most high risk infantry roles on the frontline. The Storm Z unit. Made up of Russian prisoners for the most part. Expendable. You were not meant to come back and they knew it. It was the same for every African there. Kenyans, Nigerians, Ghanaians, South Africans. If they wanted to know a Ukrainian machine gunner position, they force you to go. We had guns to our heads to run out of an MTLB. Which is a tractor. We were sent to the frontline in the back of a tractor. While their soldiers are safe in APCs. 😭
The moment we jumped out bullets started raining down from a tree line. People died. Jimmy and Deo died, admin. We were so many someone just tripped me as i was running and i fell and i realised i could stay down. This was January so winter. Whoever the machine gunner was just sprayed more bullets to make sure and then the Russian drones buzzing became too much you knew they had located him and were pursuing him. It was the plan all along. Sacrifice us to know the position of the Ukrainian fighters.
5 of us would get evacuated later in the night. I had never been that cold. But only reason we were evacuated is because they wanted back one of their own. One of the people that told us to go on gun point.
I would later desert the base with 4 other people. A Turkish guy had contacted an NGO called Idite Lesom and they had advised us on a town to go, where to avoid. I am back because of them. Forever grateful 😭
That’s why Telegram Secret Chats never show message content in push notifications. Since 2013, Secret Chats have remained the most secure usable way to communicate. US gov funded Signal has too many questionable dependencies on other US companies (AWS, MS, Intel SGX…)
Meet my uncle, Mukimbiri Ronald, who was contesting for MP in Gomba West and was announced dead after being beaten with a metallic chair on the head on the orders of his opponent, Robinah Guleeme Rwakoojo,(NRM) and her husband.
After challenging rigged election results, he was left unconscious and bleeding while his few friends were brutally attacked. Votes were stolen, and Mukimbiri’s agents were arrested and tortured for simply doing their job.
Mukimbiri Ronald had fully complied with Electoral Commission guidelines and arrived at the tally centre with a small entourage of just 4. He was shocked to find his opponent with over 80 supporters, creating an intimidating and unsafe environment.
All of this happened in the presence of the District Internal Security Officer (DISO) Mwiine and the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Katongole Ronald of Gomba district working on orders of madam. Even when urgent medical attention was needed, treatment was blocked, blocked treatment leaving him to bleed, apparently until they thought he was dead.
False reports of his death were even celebrated on radio by her supporters💔😭 thinking he is no more. But i thank God even amidst the heavy bleeding and delay he gave him asecond chance💔😥.
This is not politics. This is a crime against democracy and human life. Those responsible must be named, investigated, and punished. Elections won through fear, violence, and intimidation are illegitimate.
This strategy won’t work!
We are used to these games!
You instructed these people to lower the price so that u come and make a public outcry claiming to care yet u do not.

Hi @cz_binance a few hours ago our bridge/oft contract got hacked, and hackers transferred minted tokens onto many chains, including BNB, where they sold most of the $SFUND tokens.
Currently they hold more than $1.2M in BNBchain:
0x14181636dd5BC8C6b8b47F8D0fd1b1e351B84bE4
A lot of people in BNBchain got affected by this (64k people), as this is where our biggest holder base is.
We have contacted many chains, exchanges, layerzero, and identified the hacker group, before they can get the funds out of blockchain, can you help us?
It would mean a lot to our community and us, thank you🙏
1 year behind us. The future ahead.

Dear DB (in @Airtel_Ug),
Your messages in the staff WhatsApp group reach me through those who care about their image as employees. I hope you are not trying to gloss over customers’ concerns as mere “Bad news”! This is the indifference we’re talking about. Who are you there to serve?!
Should we ask aggrieved customers to call you directly on your number?
