Uganda provides 600+ military and police officers to four @UNPeacekeeping missions.
They are #ServingForPeace at great personal risk and under harsh conditions to help others. We thank them for their service and sacrifice.

Got fuel from Shell Mbarara. Pay time; ABSA card, momo & mobile money couldnโt help me pay. The pump attendant & I looked at each momentarily until another pump attendant solved the puzzle. โAfande, we know you well. Just go, when MTN service is restored, pay using MoMoโ. Kyokujwaragye, okoreragye abantu.
A special salute to the UPDF team deployed by the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. @mkainerugaba, for their outstanding professionalism and dedication in successfully coordinating the voluntary repatriation of Ugandan nationals from ๐ฟ๐ฆ South Africa.
Their swift response, commitment to duty, and unwavering patriotism reflect the visionary leadership of the CDF and the UPDFโs enduring commitment to protecting and serving Ugandans wherever they may be. ๐ซก

It's me, Janet Museveni. It is a confirmation that the God I talk about is a living God. He is not a myth, He lives!
I must therefore thank Uganda, beginning with Mzee, who has prayed with the whole nation. I praise God for leading us to know Him. Thank you all for coming out publicly to pray for me.
Thank you for all those continuous prayers and also for the kind birthday wishes. Thank you for letting me know just how much I am loved.

President of Botswana ๐ง๐ผ Duma Boko stunned the audience after stopping midway through his speech to deliver a brutal but powerful lecture on relationships, loyalty, and trust.
Insightful speech from Botswana President; ๐. But perhaps a little elitist? The problem with elitist approach to Societal problems is what sometimes is referred to as PROXIMITY GAP.. far detached....and not alive to REAL PEOPLE STRUGGLES. Take this case of Boko now; he makes it sound so simple TO WALK AWAY. Like he is dealing with ABSTRACT SITUATIONS in his mind not corresponding to real local contexts- FAMILIES ISSUES; the CHILDREN who have been born out of this union, the property worked together, the time....THESE ARE REAL ISSUES, NOT ACADEMIC NICITIES.
This is why we must own our narrative.
@DrTedros and @WHO are now painting a more accurate picture of the #Ebola situation.
Attention must remain focused on where the real problem is.
And itโs not in #Uganda.
We all have a stake in ensuring that the parasites that benefit from maligning Uganda do not win.
Zero cases of Ebola in #Uganda.
No one in Uganda has tested positive for #Ebola
As we talk now, we donโt have Ebola in the country. Even the Congolese patient we have been treating has tested negative.
@DianaAtwine - PS Ministry of Health #Uganda
I was glad to launch the 10th Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo at Munyonyo today. Uganda remains one of the most unique tourism destinations because of our favourable climate, rich culture, peace and natural beauty.
Regarding Ebola, there is no cause for alarm. We are applying targeted measures and continuing to work scientifically to keep people safe while keeping our economy open.
As our economy grows towards upper-middle-income status, we shall also improve the tourism experience, including friendlier visa arrangements to attract more visitors. I therefore welcome the world to come and explore Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.
Regarding #Uganda, the Ministry of Health has not been engaged on the establishment of the treatment centres referred to here, and we are therefore not aware of where they may have been set up within the country.
We continue to affirm that Uganda has so far registered only two imported Ebola cases: one fatality and one patient currently responding well to treatment under close medical care. There are no local infections and the country remains safe.
