Hoy murieron dos reyes. Dos historias difícilmente más distintas.
🇳🇴 Harald V de Noruega, a los 89 años, después de 35 años en el trono.
🇺🇬 Oyo de Tooro, a los 34, después de haber sido coronado cuando tenía apenas 3 años.
Uno llegó al trono a los 54. El otro prácticamente no conoció una vida sin corona.
Dos monarquías, dos continentes, dos épocas. Un mismo día.
As a Ugandan, it fills me with pride to see an illustrious son of our nation carry a lifetime of global service, a fierce commitment to the vulnerable, and a deep passion for justice to the world stage.
For years, many of us have followed with great respect, Ambassador Olara Otunnu’s incredible track record at the United Nations.
His work championing human rights and protecting children in armed conflict is exactly the kind of leadership the global community desperately needs right now. True leadership is measured by integrity, vision, and an unwavering dedication to peace and justice.
We can not forget the historical injustice when the Museveni regime vindictively denied him an endorsement for this very position years ago. They blocked him for simply refusing to stay silent about the atrocities they were committing against our people. Perhaps if he had risen to that position at the time, the world would be fairer, more just, and more peaceful.
Central to his vision is a profound passion for genuine multilateral reform, where international institutions must evolve beyond mere arenas of superpower politics to become true instruments of equity, accountability, and shared prosperity for all nations.
I hear some citizens who are raising tough questions about why the regime has suddenly changed its mind to endorse him now. Your scepticism is understandable, given what the bloodthirsty regime is doing to our people. And I know Ambassador Otunnu to be a man of deep humility who welcomes free speech and receives your concerns with grace. We can all bank on his long-term, proven integrity and hope that when he rises to become the world’s top diplomat, he will never turn a blind eye to the ongoing struggle for freedom in his own motherland. As he has consistently acknowledged, Uganda faces dark spots that need fixing.
Ambassador Otunnu has my full solidarity and prayers as he carries our collective aspirations for a fairer world to the global stage.
WE REJECT ❌
The appointment of Olara Otunnu UN Secretary General. This man is consistently silent about the abductions, torture and murders that happen in Uganda.
His appointment to the United Nations is just a vehicle for Museveni to export brutality.
I pledged to bring government services closer to the people. Grateful to @NIRA_Ug for responding immediately with a dedicated team.
Bamutakudde is alive with energy today as people receive National IDs and register.
Seeing these smiles makes it all worth it. This is government at the grassroots. #NIRAinBamutakudde
Today, I had the opportunity to visit and inspect newly completed works at Lira Regional Referral Hospital (Lira RRH). These include the newly constructed 220-metre Hospital Lane, the Infectious Isolation Unit, a covered canopy, the Eye Unit, and the expanded Outpatient Department (OPD) of the hospital’s private wing.
I appreciate and congratulate the Hospital Director and the entire hospital staff for the good work that has been done. It has also given visibility to the infrastructure along the former Police Road and strengthened the outlook of the Regional Referral Hospital.
I was pleased to see how clean and neat the facility is. This is commendable.
I reflected on my time as Hospital Superintendent where we had a vision to transform the facility into a Regional Referral Hospital with the capacity to provide advanced and specialised services, something that we are witnessing now.
Well done Team Lira RRH. Thank you @GovUganda@NRMOnline!
@TonyNatif Why do you spread negativity. Do you see western media dithering same?
Why not be supportive, yes you are objective but to the negative... that's already a subjective statement
