January 2026, @ Kobobebe Dam, on the border of Uganda and Kenya, drought had turned the water green. This is the only water the Turkana and Karimojong communities have for their livestock. Women try to filter it, but the algae remains. Not safe, yet there is no alternative.

Some of us will not remain silent while others attempt to bury the legacy of Milton Obote. It is particularly disappointing that even some of those who directly benefited from Milton Obote's administration now act as though Milton Obote played no role in their personal, professional, or political success. Whether one agrees with his policies or not, the contribution of Milton Obote to Uganda's and African history should be acknowledged honestly and fairly, rather than selectively ignored or forgotten.

@SpireJim Judging by his growing political engagement, one might reasonably ask whether @AndrewMwenda Mwenda envisages himself as a potential successor to Yoweri Museveni.

@kampalasfinest_ I would shut down this one for false reporting

@nbstv @SNabakooza1 Should also close UBC and New Vision for biased and false reporting

You're citing a relatively minor and recent event while overlooking Uganda's far more significant contribution to the struggle against apartheid under Dr. Milton Obote. His government provided Ugandan passports to South African freedom fighters, enabling them to travel the world and mobilize international support against the apartheid regime.
Around 1970, when the UPC held its delegates' conference in Mbale, Dr. Obote also threatened to withdraw Uganda from the Commonwealth if Britain continued selling arms to apartheid South Africa. His uncompromising stand against apartheid put him in direct conflict with British interests. This was one of the factors behind his overthrow.
To suggest that Uganda's support for South Africa was only under Museveni ignores this important history and does a disservice to Uganda's earlier role in South Africa's liberation struggle. You should instead be citing the role of Dr. Obote

@grok @RichardMbayo You have not cited any sinlge lie

[The Peace Fellow @ThePeaceFellow]

@grok @RichardMbayo Please, cite some of the Obote’s verifiable lies here

@Pliam_ Could Canary and Tabz be state operatives who are unaware that the other is also working on behalf of the state?

DNA testing should be performed at birth, before the mother and alleged father leave the hospital. Establishing biological parentage immediately would provide certainty from the outset, protect the rights of the child, prevent paternity disputes, reduce prolonged legal battles, and ensure that parental responsibilities are assigned on the basis of verified biological evidence.

The DNA results may have broken the story you believed all your life, but they have not broken you. Your worth has never been measured by blood alone. Love, sacrifice, memories, and the life you have lived are just as real today as they were yesterday.
Grieve if you must, but do not lose yourself. Your future is not determined by whose DNA you carry, but by the strength of your character, the choices you make, and the courage with which you rise from this painful truth. Hold your head high, this discovery changes your history, not your value.

The names remembered with disgrace are those who exchanged conviction for comfort. The silver of Judas Iscariot has long since vanished. His name remains.

Your account leaves out important historical context. The 1966 crisis did not emerge in isolation. It followed intense constitutional disputes, including the "Lost Counties" referendum, in which the people of Buyaga and Bugangaizi voted to return from Buganda to Bunyoro. That decision generated deep political tensions.
The subsequent allegations of illegal arms imports and the government's response marked a turning point in Uganda's history, contributing to the growing militarisation of politics. Any discussion of 1966 is incomplete without acknowledging these preceding constitutional and political conflicts, rather than presenting the crisis as if it arose solely from the actions of one individual or one moment.

@BalaamBarugahar If we truly seek peace, we must build it not on intimidation, abduction, torture, enforced disappearances, murder, or fear but on this attached
