@bwesigye Abajungu; Aimless wanderer, spirit, dizzy from kizunguzungu (Kiswahili) but definitely start with Kiswahili for its marriage with Bantu languages. I don't know about abelungu.

A missing wife. A desperate husband. A loose serial killer. An unexpected ending. Jalada Prize-winning Poet @LillyAA1 discusses her short story for #RELATIONSanthology. https://t.co/4SZTChQdc6

@ToySoldierBoy @bwesigye @MKSerumaga @BBCAfrica @kasujja @AJEnglish @usmissionuganda @DailyMonitor She is now but my brother is not.

[Lillian Akampurira Aujo @LillyAA1]

@Parliament_Ug @kasujja @BBCAfrica please help I am worried for her safety and resultant trauma. We are not getting anywhere with the officials present. A police woman at Banda Police assisted in taking her to the detention centre, but abandoned her there

[Lillian Akampurira Aujo @LillyAA1]

@usmissionuganda @KagutaMuseveni @ntvuganda @nbstv @AKasingye @PoliceUg @AJEnglish 2. She was picked up yesterday on her way from the university at about 10.45am East African Time. Her phone is off, someone called my mother informing her that she is safe and is helping in investigations, which they did not disclose

@InnocentAcan 😂😂One of these days your tweets will kill me!

[Lillian Akampurira Aujo @LillyAA1]

@InnocentAcan Blue magic!😀 So many memories that one. Such resilience, that brand. Also reminded me of Dax and it's jingle.

Remember when you were at zero words? What's 20k more when you've already conquered multiples of those?

I need motivation to finish my novel. Like, 20k words away.

@DCICUg e-mailed etc and my complaint has not been addressed yet. Still stuck with two different Application numbers and two different PRN and no appointment date and no way to access your offices.

[Immigration Uganda @NCIC_Ug]

Our systems are back up and running at the Passport enrollment Centre which had earlier been interfered by temporary system shutdown caused by connectivity glitch. We apologise for the inconveniences caused. Our staff are dedicated to serve all our clients to the last.

@DCICUg My complaint has not been addressed. E-mailed etc. But I'm still stuck with two different application numbers and two different PRN and no appointment date and no way of accessing your offices.

[Lillian Akampurira Aujo @LillyAA1]

@qataharraymond @ntvuganda @jkkarungi and all Ug media do you people know what's happening at @DCICUg ? Where how does a citizen get respite when all communication channels are blocked?

[Lillian Akampurira Aujo @LillyAA1]

@DCICUg @mia_uga Like I said, @DCICUg please reply to my complaint on your email/twitter/online portal. There's obviously something wrong with the system, I've attached evidence of the same, I've been assaulted and denied entry to your offices @qataharraymond @nbstv
