💧 Drought in Zambia 🇿🇲 is intensifying.
We’re working with key partners and @UNZambia agencies to develop a Disaster Risk Financing Strategy.
This week’s workshop in Lusaka validated the strategy, ensuring it meets people’s needs that arise in times of disaster. 🌱🤝
There's one thing you miss - the level of neocolonial interference that follows marking independence, for each country. You will recall for example the sponsored ouster of Emperor Haile Selassie, and what followed, or perhaps the recent issues relating to Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Sponsored interruptions and active interference of all other forms count for a lot. And the level to which it is done explains the "dilemma" you're stating
For Makerere, if they do this, then they should cut down on the numbers admitted, and make it highly competitive on the basis of purely academic performance, to enhance quality and ease pressure on university resources/ infrastructure - and offload excess numbers to other universities
@nickopiyo@CanaryMugume@patrickbitature@nche_uganda But would the designer of the flyer first notify Bitature that he is going to include the Dr against his name, so that Bitature decides whether it appears on the flyer or not?
Most especially because the descendants of intra africa slaves are nolonger afflicted, while those of the ones sent to the western hemisphere suffer racial discrimination in different forms. Slavery is mainly talked about on account of the extension of its negatives to the present day, not just as mere historical occurrence
@jamesonen You're now talking about the separate African countries that have been at work for 60 years (although i know 60 can be a very short time in the context of nation building), and don't present a good report as of now. Do you wish to continue seeing them the same?
From Rwanda. Now, Rwanda apart from being a present-day country, was also an old time kingdom like the ones you have listed. With colonial rearrangement of borders, the Rwanda kingdom was squeezed in into the country we know today. So some of the people of the old Rwanda kingdom ended up being resident in Uganda, DRC, Tanzania and perhaps Burundi. Indeed some of the people in those countries are therefore Banyarwanda even when they identify otherwise today....and this should not be a problem, because these old time kingdoms were actually not collections of related people, but political clusters. A Muganda, a Munyankore, a Munyoro, a Munyarwanda, etc, with the same totem are actually from a same ancestor, while Banyoro (for example) or people from any other of the above clusters, but with different totems are not related (by DNA).
@CarolPrim3 Acttally there's a generation which is seeing all the current ministers as old still. Many people in NRA for example became ministers in their 20s/ early 30s...but a certain generation saw them as matures
