Police have raided a home in Nkumba, Katabi Town Council, rescuing over 50 upcountry youth lured by Alliance in Motion Global with false promises of lucrative jobs. Instead, the victims were conned out of their money and forced into online fraud schemes targeting other Ugandans.
The incident highlight's Uganda's worsening youth unemployment crisis, which leaves desperate graduates vulnerable to sophisticated job cartels and human trafficking networks. A manhunt is underway for the facility's administrators, who remain at large. Investigations are ongoing.

My interview with President Trump on Friday afternoon was unfortunately complicated by weather issues. In spite of those challenges, we still had a substantial conversation on issues from the Iran war to the economy to the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. Tune in for the full interview this morning on @MeetThePress.
Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving
One year later: The state of your wallet.

How Kampala thieves operate:
These criminals move with a well-planned strategy on the streets. In most cases, they work in groups consisting of a woman carrying a bag and several male accomplices acting as backup.
Once they identify a target, the woman quickly approaches and deliberately bumps into the person. Suddenly, her bag falls to the ground, or she throws herself down and starts shouting, “Omubbi! Omubbi!” (“Thief! Thief!”).
Immediately, her accomplices rush in, pretending to respond to the alarm. They begin searching, harassing, and accusing the victim while checking for valuables. In many cases, they start beating the victim, attracting a mob that joins in without knowing the truth.
A friend of mine once fell victim to a similar scheme. Thank God his “Inzikuru” 🏃🏾♂️ ancestors watched over him and helped him escape the danger. Otherwise, he could have lost his life.
Sadly, this appears to be a growing trend in our country. Even more concerning are allegations that some of these criminals are protected or aided by corrupt security personnel.
We must all remain careful and vigilant when walking on the streets, driving along highways, or stopping at traffic lights. Stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, and never rush to judge a situation before knowing the facts.
Your awareness could save your life or someone else’s!

Congratulations to Inspector Stephanie Königs of Germany, our @UN Woman Police Officer of the Year.
I’m grateful for her contributions to our @UNPeacekeeping mission in South Sudan.
Her work is an example of our women officers leading frontline policing even in the most complex & high-risk environments.
The Obama Presidential Center is more than just a campus; it’s a living institution rooted in community, and built to serve generations to come. We built it with you and your families in mind, and that’s why you'll be greeted by our amazing team when you visit.
We’ve made sure of it. More than 17,000 people applied for frontline jobs at the Center, and we hired the top 1 percent. Because, as President Obama says, “When people come here, we want them to feel what makes the South Side so special—that mix of warmth and grit, the sense of humor that can brighten any day, the creativity that turns challenges into opportunities, and the joy that shows up in every block, every church, every family reunion.”
Recently, President Obama welcomed these new employees in our auditorium, and he greeted them as he toured the Museum and campus with Obama Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett. He talked with them about how every job here matters. He said each one of us is responsible for making our visitors feel welcome and safe and to remember we are all ambassadors of hope.
We all cannot wait to welcome you.
