I believe that Uganda is already home to the critical mass needed to drive double-digit growth in our tourism sector. Given our population, we have the power to spark lasting change from within.

Through initiatives like Open Park Days, we are inviting every citizen to explore our national parks (free of entrance fees) so that you can experience firsthand the beauty, wonder, and cultural richness of our land. #ExploreUganda #UniquelyOurs

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

This #HumanRightsDay, we face a harsh truth:

Human rights are under assault.

Whether economic, social, civic, cultural or political, when one right is undermined, all rights are undermined.

Let’s protect, defend and uphold all human rights for all people.
