DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak has killed more than 3,000 people out of over 6,100 confirmed cases, the latest government data showed Wednesday, as the disease is spreading at an unprecedented speed, faster than efforts to track and slow it. What happens when when it explodes into tens of thousands of deaths, and the population begins to flee into Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, and the world moves to shut East/Central Africa off? It's why EAC needs to rally action.
My dear friend of many decades Lady Justice Lydia Mugambe-Ssali occupies my thoughts a lot.
In my mind she is a kind, warm, generous and reliable friend.
And that’s not going to change.
A solution must be found to her predicament. She was no slave owner. Absolutely not.
@norbertmao - We mustn’t forget Lydia. She’s one of the good ones. And nothing about her current situation speaks to who she is as a person and jurist.
One day, the whole truth will be known.
Chuck was an icon.
I am grateful that I was able to work with him in multiple ways over the years, from promoting fitness to sharing the screen together. He was a badass, in real life and in Hollywood.
His legend will be with us forever. My thoughts are with his family.

Today, we had the privilege of appearing before Parliament’s Committee on Legal & Parliamentary Affairs on behalf of the Uganda Law Society to present our views on the Magistrates Courts (Amendment) Bill, 2026.

Our starting point is simple: magistrates’ courts are the backbone of Uganda’s justice system. They handle the largest share of cases and are the first point of contact for most citizens.
Reform here is reform of justice itself.
Parliament’s Committee on Appointments chaired by Speaker @AnitahAmong is currently vetting the Hon Justice Flavian Zeija, who has been nominated by President Museveni for appointment as Chief Justice.
Ouch, just read this: Ever wonder why some African high-flyers can’t stop talking about their travels? For many, it’s more than a vacation or work, it’s “proof of arrival." In a world of "visa apartheid" and high costs, global mobility is a hard-won status symbol🤔
Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.
After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.
This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.
In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.
Compassion is a question of humanity, even before it is a religious matter. Before being believers, we are called to be human. #GeneralAudience https://t.co/xk96tnOH9t
In preparing for, and pursuing a legal career, one encounters many cases that are so sad that their impact is simply indescribable. This is one of those.
Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.
Bitter Truth: One of the worst public myths in "Uganda" is that kingdoms/cultural institutions were "abolished" and "restored."
A colonial creature can not purport to create or dissolve pre-colonial entities that pre-dated it. Uganda can't give you a name, identity, or a burial
“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber https://t.co/6cQQpcJVTd
