Video; With every passing day, this guy @kasujja makes Ugandans question what former Uganda Media Centre boss Ofwono Opondo was really doing in that office.😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[Professor Awesome @rsnokes]

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.

So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.

As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.

@mkainerugaba @Thomas_Tayebwa Thank you so much Gen MK

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Habari nzuri Woote? Mungu asifiwe (apoyo Rubanga, yebazibwe Katonda).

Congratulations on the series of elections that we have been having ever since the
15th of January, 2026. These were: the Presidential, the Parliamentary, District Chairpersons, District Councillors, Sub-County Chairpersons and Sub-County Councillors. I, especially, congratulate our
party, the NRM, for winning all those elections with big majorities.

I also congratulate the other parties such as the DP, UPC, etc., that participated
in the elections without using violence unlike the Party of NUP and some few elements of FDC, that were using violence. The parties under IPOD should clearly lay out agreed guidelines on the dos and don’ts of election management, according to the laws and the constitution of Uganda.

[Embassy of the Netherlands in Uganda @NLinUganda]

The labor force participation rate in 🇺🇬is 74.5% for women and 85.8% for men (UNDP, 2023) 🧡
This is high, but many women are in informal, low-paying, or vulnerable jobs, meaning high participation doesn’t always equal economic empowerment.
