Congratulations to the Morocco legal team - truly the greatest strikers in African football history. Who needs a world-class frontline when you have a committee that can score three goals from a mahogany desk two months after the final whistle?
The Banyankore say : "OKUZAARA KUBA OKUGARUKAYO"(Procreation- bearing offspring is to RETURN, LITERALLY...! These Iranians know how to fight back...So what was the point of killing a tired oldman and replace him with his OWN FLESH AND BLOOD; able, young, and angry 😠? I saw those crowds in Teharan today chanting his name; so, WHAT WAS THE POINT? What is the point of assassinations of leaders who are easily replaceable?
The idea that each parent has absolute liberty to choose how to raise their children is misguided. It would only apply if those children were going to live alone in their own world without any possibility of interacting and affecting others. Your child might marry another person’s child. Your child will work with other people. Your child might become a leader of other people. Why then shouldn’t society be concerned about how its members raise their children?
Many of the problems we are facing in society and as a country are rooted in our upbringing. For instance, I have to be concerned that someone is raising a potentially violent child, because I could be that child’s victim tomorrow. It is not that parent’s exclusive business when I can be affected. Yes, there should be boundaries, but they can’t be absolute - since we are ultimately interconnected.
You could say we’ve been lucky to reach the Copa del Rey semis without facing any first-division teams, but the reality is that these lower-division sides are never easy in a one-off game at their stadium.
They defend very well, play like their lives depend on it, so you can never match their intensity. If you don’t kill the game early, it can slip away with just one small shift in momentum, as we saw last night, or even in Real Madrid’s game.
Maybe I’m exaggerating, but these matches are always some of my least favourite of the season. I would have much preferred facing first-division teams starting from the Round of 16, rather than dealing with these messy, unpredictable games.
It is strange that even those who support a broken system and crude methods somehow expect some institutions to work well as islands of excellence. Uganda Airlines is just too visible now, but it is simply a typical representation of what is happening elsewhere in Uganda. You cannot fix bits of a house with a compromised foundation and expect sustainable results. As you blame Bamuturaki alone, do you ask yourself how she got to that position with her known CV? Did she sneak herself in? Wasn’t all alarm dismissed and ignored? What did the appointing authorities (who are now seen as saviours) expect?
Even if Uganda Airlines gets a very competent CEO and Board, soon the powerful will want to fix their lousy children, relatives, friends, friends’ children, and tribemates there, and to influence technical decisions. They’ll disrupt flight operations by taking full planes from the tiny fleet for their own travels. Nothing can work well under a broken system of official impunity that doesn’t uniformly apply laws and regulations. And if any new recruit hopes to make wonders, hope for a miracle.
There is no single Country, or even REGIONAL BLOCK in the World, except those with NUCLEAR CAPABILITY that can build a STRONG MILITARY that can DEFY U.S HEGEMONIC ADVENTURES if it wants to mess it up. NONE! Only NUCLEAR ARMED STATES can call its bluff. As for Africa, only the UNITY OF THE CONTINENT AND AQUIRING NUCLEAR CAPABILITY CAN SAVE THE BLACK PERSON. The rest is just KWALA-KWALA vibe! Reason when you take away the kitchen posturing, all African leaders serve at the beahest of the EMPIRE(pax Americana). No single country in Latin America, Africa, Greenland, Canada...can form a centre of gravity against American aggression! So that local military power these countries obsess so much about and attempt to build is to deter their INCONSEQUENTIAL TACTICAL REGIONAL THREATS,really useless stuff, but not the REAL EXHISTENTIAL THREAT AGAINST IMPERIALISM.
Up until some point, UPDF had made a good name, and largely stayed away from interfacing with citizens. Even when brutalisation of citizens increased during Dr Besigye’s time, it was police (or in police uniforms). Today, police mostly watches or accompanies the military in brutalising people. What changed to cause the increasing military brutality and diminishing professionalism? Is it the commanders or the times?
Today’s lesson is drawn from the late Muammar Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years. His regime delivered remarkable progress; Libya once had Africa’s highest per capita income, free education from primary to university, and universal healthcare for all.
But like many African dictators, Gaddafi’s fatal flaw was refusing to let go of power. Those who claim Libya “lost everything” after him ignore the truth: a nation built around one man, without democratic transition, is destined to collapse the moment he falls.
This is the irony of dictators, they preach patriotism yet cling to power until they die like dogs and leave their countries in chaos.
Sadly, this is the same dangerous path our own country is drifting toward.
I’m not going to sit here and single out individuals. That’s not why we lost, not even close.
You don’t perpetually have to look for something or someone to blame. Our season is only just beginning, and we have a lot of firepower to recover.
No conclusions until everyone’s fully fit and 100%.
Happy Independence Day Uganda!

This isn’t just about Kirk or Rowling. It’s about the phase shift we’re entering. The West has crossed the invisible threshold where politics stops being about persuasion and starts being about domination. That’s why Rowling’s taxonomy hits so hard right now - because it isn’t theory anymore. It’s the lived reality.
The Kirk assassination proves that political violence is now part of the grammar. Once that happens, you don’t go back. Systems don’t rewind to civility. They escalate. Every side interprets restraint as weakness. Every act of violence becomes both revenge and pretext.
And here’s the mask-off truth: this was always where liberal democracy was heading. Once truth itself fractured into tribes, the system had no stabilizer. Narrative became stronger than fact, and reflexivity guaranteed acceleration. Violence is just the material form of that breakdown.
So no, this isn’t isolated. This isn’t random. This is systemic inevitability. Kirk’s killing wasn’t just one man dying. It was the signal that persuasion is dead as the dominant mode of politics. The new mode is force, intimidation, spectacle. The “possessed” framing is closer to reality than people realize. Whole segments of the population are locked in memetic possession loops where no evidence can reach them. They’re no longer persuadable, only combustible.
The truth I can’t dress up: this is how republics die. Not overnight, not with one assassination, but with the normalization of the idea that violence is politics by other means. We’re in it now. And once you’re here, the center never holds.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
