Close to 3 months. That's how long residents of Kasana & surrounding areas in Luwero have gone without water. This is not a minor inconvenience, it's a crisis. @nwscug@NWSCMD,what is happening?What are u doing about it? We deserve answers & more importantly, water. #LuweroCrisis
They came for vacation. Then airspace closed and flights were cancelled. Instead of chaos, the UAE told every hotel: don't check them out. We're paying.
Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism sent a directive to every hotel in the emirate: extend stays for guests who can't leave and send us the invoice. Dubai issued a parallel order hours later. The reason? Airspace closures and mass flight cancellations across the Gulf left over 20,000 passengers stranded.
The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the state is covering all accommodation and meal costs for affected travelers. Private companies joined in too – holiday rental firms in Dubai opened apartments for free, and within hours, over 250 hosts followed.
No panic pricing. No airport floors. No "figure it out yourself." Just a government picking up the tab until every stranded tourist can go home. That's how you handle a crisis.

A Constitutional Court judgment delivered by fewer than the constitutionally required five judges is a nullity and must be reheard

Empathy is like a savings account, if you don't deposit during other people's time of need, you cannot expect to withdraw when misfortune pays you a visit.
unlike credit cards & loans, empathy requires that you practice giving it and hope you never need it.
Today, we mourn the passing of Justice (Rtd) Prof. George Kanyeihamba; a man fashioned not for convenience, but for conviction.
I knew him not only as a towering jurist, but as a historian of his own story, a teacher of reluctant students, and a man whose stubbornness was rivalled only by his sense of justice.
I visited him in hospital in his final days. Part of his leg had been amputated. He was on dialysis, his body failing after a long and noble fight. He lay there unconscious, still, silent, yet even in that stillness, he bore the unmistakable air of a man who had wrestled greatly with life and never surrendered easily.
Frail in body, yes but the memory of his strength filled the room. The old legal giant, now at the edge of the final verdict, remained defiant in spirit. Even in silence, he seemed to resist the fading light with the same resolve he once brought to courtrooms and causes.
We stood by his bedside. We said our prayer.
I leaned in, whispered greetings from my family, and offered my final farewell.
He always told a good joke. He once narrated how he found his guard asleep on duty, took away the gun, and waited. In the morning, the guard nervously reported that robbers had come and taken the gun, but he had fought them off bravely.
Prof listened carefully, nodded, went back inside, brought out the gun, handed it to the guard, and said
“I am the robbers.”
Another time, in open court this time as counsel he rose and told a joke so humorous and so crude that it jolted even the dozing backbench. When he was done, he sat down and, without apology, declared:
“I was merely trying to keep the court awake.”
He warned a senior colleague once, only half in jest:
“If you dare introduce me as your teacher, I will spill the real beans I was a young lecturer, and you were a mature entrant.”
Such was the man humourous, never unserious, always fair, and impossibly firm.
He joked, he judged, he taught; and he never yielded where truth was at stake.
A former Attorney General.
A former Judge of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
A former Justice of our Supreme Court.
A towering legal giant.
Few remain of that generation.
Let history never forget the energy, the life, and the courage that the Odoki-led Supreme Court on which he sat breathed into our jurisprudence. Case after case, that Court carried the burden and the promise of a new Constitution, testing its limits, defining its soul, and giving shape to a fledgling republic’s legal identity.
As he crosses the Rubicon, may he meet and greet Justices Mulenga, Tsekoko, Oder, and Karokora jurists from different walks who brought vitality and honour to an apex Court finding its feet in a new constitutional dispensation.
To those of us to whom the law is both our trade and our calling, Scripture offers not just comfort, but command:
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
Hebrews 12:1
Let us honour these servants of God,
who with their pens tried to bring much clarity to our law.
Let us recall their work.
They are for sure - our great cloud of witnesses.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.

This @NUP_Ug politician is one of those unsung heroes. For 20 years, he’s been a passionate fighter for civil liberties.
I just used to see him in pictures and on TV. I didn’t pay much attention. It’s only fairly recently that people told me his name.
Which constituency is he from? I’d gladly line up behind his back.
Whoever has his handle/is friends with him, kindly tell him we are eternally grateful.
Also, he speaks so well. You can tell he thinks through his words. The wind just doesn’t blow his lips and sound comes out, ala most politicians on all sides of the isle.
Anyways, here’s his reaction to the Besigye bail denial.
He called the decision “unreasonable, illogical, whimsical, unjust”.
Strong words.

RWANDA SEVERS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH BELGIUM
The Government of Rwanda today notified the Government of Belgium of its decision to sever diplomatic relations, effective immediately. Rwanda’s decision has been taken after careful consideration of several factors, all linked with Belgium’s pitiful attempts to sustain its neocolonial delusions.
