I understand perfectly. If I were an African Big Man who couldn’t get a crowd of more than 5,000 unless it was rented, I too would be angry and jealous to see 500,000 of my country’s citizens wildly celebrating Arsenal FC’s EPL championship

Jinja, May 2026.

Over the weekend, I went to Jinja with Comorians (Comorian party animals in frames 1, 4, 8) and Sudanese (frame 14).

Scenes from the slow River Nile town follow, accompanied by Dianne Reeves' Tropical island-sounding track.

Happy Labour Day.

We do recognise the efforts of persons with disabilities both in the informal & formal sectors.
As we underscore the proposal of @KagutaMuseveni to exempt teachers & doctors from pay as you earn, persons with disabilities also need to be heard.

[Solomon Collins @SoloColins]

What a previlage

[NUDIPU @NUDIPU]

Yesterday, we validated findings from a rapid survey on human rights violations faced by persons with disabilities in accessing services across Nebbi, Pakwach, Amudat & Nabilatuk. Barriers like exclusion, limited access, and stigma persist. @Mglsd_UG @NationalSIGUg @UgandaEC

[NUDIPU @NUDIPU]

societal biases. NUDIPU, @nuwodu & the @albinismumbrell conducted a survey in Nabilatuk, Amudat, Nebbi & Packwach to document rights violations. Findings will guide advocacy & better services, with support from @DKinUganda , @IrlEmbUganda , @NLinUganda & @SwedeninUG. @Mglsd_UG

[NUDIPU @NUDIPU]

Key findings from the rapid survey:
📌Persons with disabilities face exclusion from community health meetings, limited healthcare access, and poor WASH services.

📌Distance, mobility challenges, and weak inclusion systems continue to block access to essential services.
