I am honoured to have attended the State of the Nation Address delivered by @KagutaMuseveni
It was a timely reminder that nation-building is a shared responsibility. As young people, we must remain engaged, innovative, and committed to shaping Uganda's future.

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

And the employers intentionally mistreat and not pay employees because apparently "there are no jobs out there".

Hi friends. I am well now and safely back home. Immigration officers in Amsterdam looked at me and thought I can’t have a genuine passport. They hadn’t even opened it. Held me back for so long apparently “verifying” my passport that I missed my flight. When I told them to check the passport because it has stamps and visas, they said those can be forged too. I have passed through Schiphol airport over 10 times if they had cared to look at the passport and checked my name in the system whatever doubts they had would have been cleared without undue delay and anguish. Anyway, they finished “verifying” long after the plane had left said I should be grateful they are getting me another “free flight” like they had found me stranded without a flight back home. When the “free flight” they got me was 24 hours later, they told me to either wait at the airport or figure out where to spend the next 24 hours. No explanation. No remorse. No apology. I don’t know if it was the anger or anxiety that made it very difficult to breathe or even utter a word and caused me a breakdown.. but it is very unfortunate that in 2026 there are people that still simply look at others and assume they are fraudsters or something. Luckily, good friends came to my rescue and also redeemed the reputation of the Dutch just a bit.. thanks @klup and Marnix🙏 we have already filed a complaint and raised the issue in many fora. I hope that at the very least they never racially profile any other person like that again.

Gulu City Woman Member of Parliament, Betty Aol Ocan, says the government must provide free sanitary pads and construct changing rooms in all schools.

She explains that poor menstrual hygiene remains the biggest obstacle among girls, forcing some to drop out of school.

She urged the new Speaker, Marksons Jacob Oboth-Oboth, to place greater emphasis on that, noting that the spirit died when Speaker Rebecca Kadaga's tenure ended.

In Ntoroko, Uganda, floods, displacement, and limited access to nutrition services are driving alarming malnutrition rates. Nearly 4 in 10 children are not growing as expected. Tackling child malnutrition requires community action, nutrition education, and stronger support systems.

Why can’t government re-allocate the money saved from public celebrations (24BN) to @MinofHealthUG for medical interns @henrymusasizi1 @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 @ObothOboth @Thomas_Tayebwa ? Medical interns do so much work in hospitals and it’s only fair that they should be paid for their labour @TheUMAofficial

These are some of the people that have been recruited into the Parliamentary Service since 2021. The law requires that recruitment to follows a notice/advert in the gazette and news papers but the last time there was any job advert for parliament recruitment was in 2016. Most of these are children of Judges, siblings of the Speaker, Parliamentary commissioners, and some opposition bigwigs, friends of the Deputy Speaker, spouses and children of friends, etc. you guys feel free to point out whose child, brother, wife, husband, etc.

Hon. @norbertmao stepped into the arena when most were cowering in silence. He took on a fight many avoided, enduring fierce attacks not just from opponents, but even from friends blinded by short-term calculations. In a Parliament dominated by numbers, he chose principle over popularity and that courage deserves respect.🫡

We lost sight of women who were going to make us husbands for girls who made us Philanderers.

Women are not sex objects,.. but our taste for women is trash.

We could make the world a better place 🫶🏾

After the training, participants returned to their villages with seedlings, gloves, sacks, and other gardening tools to support immediate practice of composting, recycling, and kitchen gardening within their communities.
