Before we went on strike, I’d worked 6 months without pay. Many a day of which, I worked past 48 hour non stop shifts.
We were told no striking intern would be signed off for completion. We returned and most completed without being paid.
I was the single intern for the surgical unit, so I covered surgical procedures both day and night cases, the accident and emergency unit as well as review clinics.
I saw my supervisor once in the three months I was posted to surgical services.
There was no senior doctor.
Deciding not pay interns , means upcountry and referral hospitals are at risk of not being professionally covered .
Please pay Medical Interns .

''Girls are being raped. Not metaphorically. Not as legal shorthand. The day their bodies bleed for the first time, they will be made pregnant by a man four, five, or six times their age, and their small bodies tell the rest. Thirty-two per cent of deaths for Afghan girls aged 15 to 19 are pregnancy-related and Afghanistan's maternal mortality rate is among the world's highest, 521 deaths per 100,000 live births.'' - Writes @NasimiShabnam

I always want to put the torture I and @bonifacemwangi were subjected to in Tanzania behind me but yesterday and today have refused. A year later, we are yet to recover from it. I still have to wear shoes prescribed by doctors fitted with feet pads. In March the pain was so bad and I was given cortisone shots in between the toes. They numbed the pain for a few weeks and we went back to zero. When I say I the fall of terrible people who abuse power and don’t care about the pain their actions cause to other people should be celebrated, I think of Mafwele, the police officer that looked into our eyes and told us he’s will deal with us and we will forever remember his face. When people asked about our whereabouts the following day, he told them he will do whatever he wants to us and there is nothing anyone will do. What he did didn’t stop us from demanding for the respect of human rights and dignity. Even the killing of Tanzanians by him and that murderous regime of Samia Suluhu hasn’t stopped the rest from agitating for better governance. And his day will also come. Even if I am not here when it comes, others that he has caused immense suffering will celebrate. And that’s the legacy he, and other corrupt, murderous leaders and civil servants will leave behind.

Speaking of corruption, James Turyatunga was unlawfully fired from @UgandaPrisons because he refused to sign for more money than he received from his boss during COVID. He reported corruption up to the highest level of the service only to find out it was a syndicate. When he continued fighting even after he was fired, by petitioning offices and individuals in high positions, the same people that fired him (as was confirmed by the CG @jbyabs when I brought the issue to his attention), got him arrested on charges of desertion and chased from the prisons house he was living in. @AgoraCFR has been advocating for his justice and legal representation. Today the case against him has been dismissed for want of prosecution.

One midnight, I carried her while peeing. I was so exhausted and just over it.

I imagined throwing her out the window. The way I clutched her tightly to my chest and ran out of the bathroom?

[Rita Kay @Kusaasirarita]

Attacked, Strangled & Robbed 😭😭💔💔💔💔
On Thursday evening, I was chilling at a certain place in Ntinda. As usual, I decided to head home at around 10:30 PM. I grabbed a boda from a nearby stage where there was only one rider parked there, not knowing he was actually a thief.

I placed my phone in my bag and sat on the boda. As we moved, the rider branched off at Villa Bukoto Road to the left. I asked him why we were leaving the main road, and he calmly replied that it was a faster route that would connect us to Mawanda Road.

At first, I didn’t get scared because there were still shops around. But after some meters, the boda sloped deep down into a route I didn’t recognize. Fear immediately kicked in, and I told him to return to the main road, but he ignored me completely.

The road became darker and more isolated with no shops or people around. My heart immediately told me I was in trouble. I screamed and asked the boda guy to stop so I could get off. He responded, “Jawo olugezigezi.”

A minute later, another boda carrying other men suddenly appeared behind us. That’s when I realized the rider was working together with them. One of the men strangled me from behind, holding my neck tightly, another covered my mouth so I couldn’t scream, while another one started taking everything I had my bag, which had money, phone, wipes, and keys.

After robbing me, they dumped me there alone in the darkness crying like a baby.

I walked in fear and shock until I reached a nearby shop. The people there told me they had heard dogs barking and thought it was just people passing by. Thankfully, I found a good Samaritan who offered to take me home, but instead I asked him to take me back to the restaurant because I remembered I had picked the boda from that stage.

To cut the story short, that man didn’t even belong to that boda stage. He had simply parked there after seeing no riders around, and unfortunately I innocently picked him, not knowing he was targeting people.

At that point, I had no way forward because I had also lost my keys. I asked the boda man who helped me to take me to my friend’s place instead. When we reached, I knocked and asked my friend for 10k to pay him, but the man refused to take the money, saying he only helped me.
May God bless him wherever he is🙏🙏

My friend later took me to the nearest clinic for first aid because I had bruises around my neck.

Thank God for the second chance at life❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Engineer Faisal @PyeparFaisal]

I just got mugged. Picked a BODA from kololo mosque, they followed me (3 Boda’s) & attacked in that bend from Ntinda to kiwatule (just before mosque). They took my bag (laptop) but Allhamdulilah I am safe. I ran, tried screaming but people just looked on, guys sped off (9:02 PM). This is one of their plate numbers

He died of a pothole and incompetence of emergency room doctors at Mengo. Rest in peace Obi.

[Miss Maryash @MaryashMiss]

This doctor was asked to give his medical opinion on tubal ligation and he instead gave his personal opinion?? This is why this country lags behind. We have fools and bigots in the most important professions. No science, no research. Might as well asked a random man on the street

[Agather Atuhaire @AAgather]

No no no no… we can’t degenerate to these levels of impunity and we keep quiet. The @JudiciaryUG should have some shame if the @PoliceUg and @ODPPUGANDA are beyond redemption.

[Misheline Mutuzo @Lord_Mutuzo]

These numbers are overwhelming!!! We need to be protecting the girls more, no girl should be a wife at 18, or 15.
Those girls should be in SCHOOL!!!!!

Uganda’s proposed Sovereignty Bill is the ONLY law in the world openly attempting something this sweeping: it legally turns its own citizens abroad into “foreigners”.

The Bill is explicit. A “foreigner” includes “Ugandan citizens residing abroad”.

That single clause redraws the boundary of citizenship. It means diaspora money, relationships, and even family support can fall under foreign control rules.

So the implications are not abstract.
-A mother in Mbale receiving school fees from her son in London.
-A boda boda rider in Gulu financed by a brother in Dubai.
-A small shop in Mbarara stocked using capital sent from Boston.

All could, in theory, fall under foreign influence rules.

Then the net widens.

The definition of an “agent of a foreigner” includes anyone “directly or indirectly… financed or subsidised” by a foreigner.

Not directed. Not controlled. Simply funded.

-A journalist paid by a locally registered outlet that receives donor support.
-A researcher on a project with partial foreign grants.
-An NGO worker whose salary traces back, however distantly, to external funding.

All can be classified as “agents”.

Clause 22 then imposes a hard ceiling: “a cap on foreign funding of approximately UGX 400 million within any twelve-month period”, beyond which ministerial approval is required.

So:
-A private hospital built with diaspora investment.
-A school supported by an international foundation.
-A construction firm using a foreign loan.

Then comes the sharpest edge.
-Clause 13 creates the offence of economic sabotage, criminalising anyone who “publishes information… that weakens or damages the economic system”.

So:

-A newspaper reporting a currency slide.
-An analyst warning about debt stress.
-A civil society group highlighting inflation pressures.

Even if accurate, such reporting could fall foul of the law.

Finally, Clause 5 prohibits activities that promote foreign interests “against the interests of Uganda”, a phrase the law does not define.

Put together, these clauses do something unprecedented.

-They do not just regulate foreign influence.
-They redefine who is foreign.
-They extend control from politics into everyday economic and social life.

In most countries, including Ethiopia and Ethiopia, sovereignty laws manage outsiders.
Here, Uganda redefined outsiders to include its citizens, basically rewriting the 1995 constitution. Of course it’s in the preparatory and consultation stage and could change for better - or WORSE!

These dictators are determined to squeeze us left, right and center.. and every other entity, government and private, is enabling them. So after freezing @AgoraCFR’s accounts, they came for mine. My bank @CentenaryBank did as they ordered without caring to find out whether there is any basis and didn’t even have the decency to at least inform me!!
