FOREIGN AFFAIRS UGANDA

ADONIA AYEBARE

Bwana @adoniaayebare, I want to engage you about the negative travel advisories especially one for the US and CANADA!

When are you being sworn in?

We need to be in the corridors of power in the US engaging on the matters of Uganda and travel advisories.

Lots of business is stuck and we need to be pushing hard like now now!

Guys put us at level 4 and they go sleep or pay attention to other matters and forget they have blocked Uganda from earnings, eh!

Get back to me bwana @adoniaayebare if possible as soon as possible so we brainstorm.

Privileged to join fellow @AfricaACSS alumni and strategic leaders at the Kenya Chapter Symposium in Nairobi to discuss one of Africa's defining issues—the youth bulge and its implications for governance, political stability, economic development, and security.

Africa's future will largely depend on how effectively we transform our growing youth population into a catalyst for innovation, productivity, and sustainable development. The choices we make today will determine whether this demographic trend becomes a dividend or a challenge.

Insightful discussions, valuable perspectives, and a timely reminder that sustainable security and development are inseparable.

Barack Obama's early life visiting family in rural Kenya in 1987 and his later career as the 44th President of the United States the two pictures are more than 30 years apart

[Amunet @freakoutsideofx]

The whole damn Obama family ages well

[Amunet @freakoutsideofx]

She died in 1995 at only 52 years old, never seeing her son become President of the United States of America. For years people only knew her as Barack Obamas mother. But she was much more than that. She was a scholar, a fighter for dignity and a woman who believed systems-not people-create poverty. Stanley Ann Dunham❤️Barack Obama is her son.

We're not crying, you are.🥹

Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears.

This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

Intelligent people often possess a good sense of humor because they can recognize subtle connections, appreciate irony, and think creatively about everyday situations. Their humor is not only entertaining but also insightful, helping them communicate ideas effectively, ease tension, build relationships, and view challenges from different perspectives with wit and understanding.

Uganda’s 2026/27 Budget: The Country Has Been Told to Go to Work.
=======

The 2026/27 Budget has many numbers, many promises, and the usual ceremony. But beneath the speeches and trillions, one message stands out clearly: Uganda is being told to stop admiring its potential and start converting it into products.

For years, we have spoken proudly about our fertile land, our minerals, our young population, our tourism, our coffee, our oil, our location and our resilience. We have introduced Uganda to investors as a country of “great potential” so many times that potential itself should now be paying rent.

This budget appears to say: enough. Potential is not a balance sheet item. It does not employ youth. It does not pay taxes. It does not build industries. It does not export finished goods. Potential must now enter the factory, the farm, the laboratory, the mine, the workshop, the hotel, the software studio and the market.

The signal is clear. Government expects growth to come from production, processing, manufacturing, technology, tourism, mineral value addition and exports. In simple terms, Uganda must make more things, process more things, package more things, certify more things, brand more things and sell more things to the world.

This is the correct direction. A country does not become rich by celebrating raw materials. It becomes rich by disciplining raw materials into products. Coffee must become branded coffee. Stones must become jewellery. Clay must become industrial inputs. Cement must become infrastructure. Ideas must become companies. Youth must become skilled producers, not merely job seekers.

The challenge, of course, is implementation. Uganda is very talented at announcing transformation. We are still improving at transforming announcements into invoices, factories, exports and wages. The real test of this budget will not be in the applause at Kololo. It will be in whether a farmer gets irrigation, a manufacturer gets affordable power, a miner gets a buying centre, a start-up gets patient capital, a road contractor gets paid, and a young Ugandan gets useful skills.

The budget is therefore not just a financial statement. It is a national instruction: produce more, process more, export more, and sleep less.

Kisanja No More Sleep has been activated. The factories will certainly wake up. And we, the industrialists, have been incited. Government has built roads, extended power, expanded markets and now speaks the language of value addition, manufacturing and exports. Excuses are becoming scarce. The challenge before us is no longer to identify opportunities. The challenge is to build the enterprises capable of capturing them.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Today at State House Entebbe, I presided over the swearing-in of Hon. Justice Moses Kawumi Kazibwe as Deputy Chief Justice.
I congratulate Justice Kawumi and commend the Judiciary, under the leadership of Chief Justice Flavian Zeija, for the progress being made in fighting corruption, promoting Alternative Dispute Resolution, and embracing digitisation. These reforms are important in ensuring that justice is delivered efficiently, fairly, and without unnecessary delays.

When we came into government, corruption and excessive emphasis on technicalities were major weaknesses in the judicial system. I am therefore pleased to see continued efforts to strengthen substance, integrity, and accountability in the administration of justice.
I wish Justice Kawumi success as he undertakes this important responsibility.

[Denis Duke Woniala🇺🇬 @DenisDukeUG]

The Late Aggrey Awori sets such a good example that I think the university don and would be interior minister Dr Lawrence Muganga ought to emulate.

Born on the Uganda - Kenyan Boarder, Aggrey DECIDED to live all his life as Ugandan while his siblings chose kenya as their country.

At one point, we had the two Awori brothers in powerful positions in both countries, one being a Minister while the Kenyan one being a Vice President.

But not a single day did we ever doubt Aggrey for not being Ugandan. Reason; Because he made his decisions very clear to the whole world. At some point Aggrey was a presidential candidate who ran against President Museveni and came third.

While someone would argue that his other siblings were born in Kenyan towns, it’s also true they could have chosen to be Ugandans and no one would have disputed that.

Ugandans are very peaceful people. We’ve been through a lot that we don’t care anymore where someone is coming from. As long as you’re a good person we are good to go.

This explains why we mix so well with refugees who’ve been thronging into the country in recent times. As a matter of fact, Ugandan people are rank high amongst most hospitable people in the world.

These issues being raised by a section of people are only a deliberate move by a section of goons who want to take Uganda back to colonial times. And fortunately that won’t happen because we are now grown and understand things.
