Uganda must build strong local capacity in road construction to fulfil the Ten-Point Programme’s vision of a self-sustaining economy. Empowering Ugandan engineers, contractors and suppliers will create jobs, retain capital, transfer technology and reduce dependence on foreign firms. Building our own infrastructure is an investment in national resilience, industrialisation and sustainable economic growth.
America’s president is in a bind. Escalating the war would be risky. Accepting Iran’s control over the strait would be an embarrassment at home and an affront to his Gulf allies.
For now he seems inclined to stall for time https://t.co/P103J1M5NI

When the Uganda borders were demarcated many Banyarwanda were included in the districts of Ntungamo, Kabale and Kisoro. At time the borders were demarcated Rwanda was actually then part of Tanganyika including some of the areas just mentioned above and had it remained so, some of the confusion would not have arisen. The complicating factor is that a large scale of migration also took place after the borders were drawn. After 1959 there was also an influx of refugees. Thus there have been 3 categories of Banyarwanda, namely citizens, immigrants and refugees. The citizens and refugees do not have a problem in law, they only have a problem at the level of prejudice and double standards by certain political groups/forces. The Banyarwanda with a problem are immigrants their status should have been settled like that of Nubians seems to have been settled.

Citizenship is a matter of law, it is not a privilege graciously conferred by individuals or a group of individuals. Before independence the law governing citizenship was the British Nationality Act 1948, Volume 11 of the Laws of Uganda. That Act specifies the persons entitled to be citizens of the U.K and colonies by reason of their connection with the territory in question (Uganda). And the persons so specified became citizens of the U.K and colonies (Uganda).
On the 28.01.1949 Statutory Instrument No.140 Order in Council was made and is found at p.987 Volume 11 of the Laws of Uganda 1951. In Section 9(1) of the Order in Council a person was a British protected person if he was born in the Protectorate. Thus a person (Munyarwanda) born in Uganda before independence was a British protected person. Many immigrant Banyarwanda, Barundi, Congolese who born in Uganda were thus protected persons like Baganda, Acholi, Basoga etc and they should have become Uganda citizens automatically on Independence Day. But the 1962 Constitution deprived many immigrants of automatic Uganda citizenship.
