@Sudhirntv A big thank you to the mighty UPDF for giving them the peace and freedom to gather and celebrate. Otherwise that stadium would be empty. Long live the UPDF. @cdfupdf@UPDFspokespersn@KagutaMuseveni .
@LarryMadowo Doesn’t matter whether we believe it or not? It’s their country, it’s their administration. Sulking should end. Several people have been denied visas before, for all and any reason. Life continues. He will officiate at the AFCON games.
@AAgather@Jadwong Those guy at Schiphol.. 🙄. I almost missed my connecting flight to the States. Mbu I had been selected for security screening. Very deplorable. So sorry about their inconvenience.
Prof. Mondo Kagonyera: "Fortunately, I was in Parliament when we passed the law allowing dual citizenship. We deliberately excluded certain positions from being held by people with other nationalities. The main concern was dual loyalty."Mondo is a former cabinet minister.
The manufacturing industry has a platform where they all interact daily with @UEDCLTD and @ERA_Uganda. Every complaint of whatever nature is posted there and the operator picks it up immediately for resolution. Have also been in a meeting with the ED UMA this morning and none of what you starting has been raised. However, I agree that there are some problem areas like the Namanve line with challenges that are being addressed. On a whole, manufacturers are doing good.
Thank you Duncan for that credit. There are still areas of the network that require improvements & strengthening. Probably where @AsiimweDicta stays is one of those. Certainly, she is working with all diligence to make sure power distribution has the most minimal unplanned outages & interruptions.
@LCabonena The damage that cults have done to the legitimacy of the church is huge, but Christ keeps strengthening his elect and the resolve to share the gospel, unadulterated, keeps going and growing strong .
BREAKING 🚨 Botswana SLAMS South Africa with Power Cut & Border Closure Over Xenophobic Attacks 😤
President Duma Boko has declared a full state of emergency and unleashed drastic measures against South Africa following escalating xenophobic violence targeting Botswana nationals.
In a bombshell move, Botswana has cut off electricity supply to several South African provinces, an unprecedented step that could severely worsen SA’s crippling energy crisis. The country has also ordered the immediate closure of all borders and demanded that every Botswana citizen currently in South Africa returns home immediately.
During a fiery address, President Boko blasted the mistreatment of his people, reminding South Africa of Botswana’s historical support during the anti-apartheid struggle.
Tensions have now reached boiling point 🔥
“Africa, if you add up the 55 countries of the African Union, that’s about 1.5 billion people—same size as India, same size as China. The big difference is that the imperial powers divided Africa into 55 little countries, not one of which can thrive on its own, whereas India and China, because of the history, remained.
So I tell them every single time I have the opportunity that the African Union is the key. As 55 you can’t make it, but as one African continental economy you can make it.
So what’s happening now is Africa’s population is continuing to rise—it’s the only place in the world with rapid population growth—and all the others are declining. Everyone else has peaked or is just about to peak or actually beginning a decline.
Africa’s population today is 1.5 billion. By 2050 it’ll be 2.5 billion. That’s a lot, adding a billion people in the next quarter century. If you go even farther and just try to extrapolate based on current trends, Africa’s population reaches about 3.5 billion. According to the UN’s most recent forecast, 3.7 billion by the end of the 21st century.
And Africa goes from being 9% of the world population to being more than 30% of the world population. It’s going to be a completely different world.
What do I say to African leaders every time? Be Africa-wide. Second, get on quickly with mass education, because that is the key to economic development. Third, look at what China did—follow that model.”
