The Great Nile Migration in South Sudan 🇸🇸 is the largest recorded land mammal migration on the planet 🌍.
Every year, millions of antelopes, gazelles, and other wildlife move across the vast landscapes of the Sudd wetlands and Boma-Badingilo ecosystem, creating one of nature’s most spectacular and least-known wonders.
A hidden treasure of Africa, right here in South Sudan.

South Sudan is 20 years old as a country.
And in those 20 years, we have not managed to give our people reliable electricity.
I say this not to shame anyone. I say it because I spent three weeks in Juba recently, trying to learn how to trade financial markets, and every single day the power cut out.
I moved from place to place just to get online. I walked under the sun, drenched in sweat, looking for a socket and a signal. Some days I found one. Some days I didn't. On the days I didn't, learning was impossible. Survival took over.
You cannot build a business without power. You cannot learn a skill without the internet. You cannot compete in the modern economy when your city treats electricity as a luxury.
The cruelest thing is that the potential is there. The sun is there. The river is there. The land is there.
What is missing is not resources. What is missing is the decision to make it work.
Every day that passes without solving this is a day we export our most ambitious people, because ambitious people cannot grow where nothing runs.
I came back to Kampala. The lights stayed on. I sat down and opened my charts.
But I kept thinking about everyone I left behind who didn't have that option.
Uganda is officially moving forward with its massive $4 billion oil refinery, a project set to reshape the country’s entire energy future.
The refinery will slash Uganda’s dependence on imported fuel while tapping into its 6.5 billion barrels of oil in place with up to 2.2 billion barrels recoverable.
Once completed, it will:
- Process 60,000 barrels per day
- Power local industries
- Boost national revenue
- Support new pipelines, storage hubs, and water infrastructure
For the first time ever, Uganda is on track to flip from importing fuel to exporting refined petroleum.
Production is projected to kick off around mid-2026.
