Being forced to hide who you are is a difficult experience lived by too many lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer people around the world. Everyone should be free to show their colours! 🏳️🌈
#Pride#StandUp4HumanRights
Naye nga wamu”warninga” ngani, gwe nga gwe Brian?!🤦🏽♀️😒
It is absurd that you people think that this is just about NTV or the people taken to that “dungeon”!
How about we all view this through wider lenses; the domestic dissent, threat to foreign policy and capital, regional and economic instability and border tension et al!
You or any other Ugandan could be unemployed tomorrow or out of business because of these detrimental actions that we all see as a laughing stock because we must appease our kahunas.
The impact spreads to unimaginable magnitudes…It is an “ecosystem” of sorts; right from the village farmer to the rich gold dealer. It will not spare who supported what and who did not.✍🏾
#Think
Lesbian rights are human rights.
Gay rights are human rights.
Bisexual rights are human rights.
Transgender rights are human rights.
Happy #Pride! 🏳️🌈

For people forced to flee, there are thousands of questions with no clear answers.
And behind every question is a person trying to protect their family, hold on to dignity and keep going.
They shouldn’t have to do it alone.
Show your solidarity with all who are displaced.
Communities are at the heart of Uganda’s #Ebola response.
Funded by @USForeignAssist, IOM, together with @MinofHealthUG is expanding targeted risk communication & engagement along the 🇺🇬-🇨🇩border to promote early care-seeking and adherence to public health guidance.
By sharing lifesaving information, addressing public concerns, and promoting safe practices, teams on the ground are transforming residents from passive recipients into active partners—fostering the public trust essential to breaking chains of transmission.
With funding from @USForeignAssist, IOM is supporting screeners like Clinton Wayot to monitor travellers at 🇺🇬's border with 🇨🇩 in Goli, helping prevent the importation of #Ebola cases into the country.
"Our mission is to protect Ugandans from public health threats," he says.
