🩵🤍 Lionel Messi’s message: “The moment has arrived. I leave in peace, I gave it my all”.
“This shirt was my dream, my pride, and my life for years”.
“Thank you for loving me so much, thank you for support”.
“I will always carry you with me”.
💯 spot on.
In addition, there are also more immediate drivers that forex dealers and the Bank of Uganda have been pointing to; Demand for dollars has spiked because importers, manufacturers and oil companies are buying hard currency ahead of the usual end of year restocking, while global oil prices are elevated on Middle East tensions. Thar is pushing fuel and import costs higher and the trade deficit wider.
The central bank has also stayed on the sidelines rather than selling dollars from reserves, which has let the rate move further.
The UN has passed a resolution calling for the traditional world map to be replaced with one that accurately reflects the size of Africa.
The Togo-sponsored resolution was backed by most member states with US voting against it. Six countries abstained.
@GODFREY_Kutesa@Uber Spot on to some extent!
This is generalising, of course. Many Ugandans are decent people with unquestionable principles. Still, the concerns you raise have taken root in a significant part of our society.
A problem known is a problem halfway solved.
Very good service delivery by both Uganda Police and the Ministry of Works and Transport.
I applied for my driving permit renewal and made the payment fully online. The process was clear, fair, and well presented. No complications at all.
I then went to the police station for a letter because my original permit was lost. Two professional lady officers issued it promptly.
At the Ministry of Works and Transport offices, everything was processed in less than 10 minutes across the 3 offices visited. I walked out with a temporary permit and was told to pick the final one tomorrow, all without any “special facilitation” fees.
Bravo @MoWT_Uganda
Bravo @PoliceUg
@crazy_kennar 😢 Sad!
But a new rhythm is making come back. The mycelia of our ancestral wonders. Corrections are being made; feeling a pulse at time.
The new technologies and methods entangled to the source. And we should appreciate more knowing that we are the source.
