When our units(Hqters/Combined headquarters, High Command, Causality unit,etc.....) were attacked by that massive UNLA force(2 reinforced battalions) under then brigadier Zed Maruru at Lubega Dam-Ngoma, in 1984, it was because I was relying on an old military radio with old battery which got drained overnight and I couldn't get the WARNING MESSAGE from Chairman High command who was with another force in Hoima. We lost st some fine soldiers like MUSUNBIGI(Muzambique..)! At the time, we were still using courier system ; abebigere/foot communication agents.... So to reach Benon Tumukunde who was in SHAKA-ZIRAGURA just 10 miles away, had to send Serwanga-Lwaga on foot.....mbu AMERICAN SUPPORT;😏!

How can people supported by Britain and America not have basic communication equipment and batteries in 1984? People should stop this nonsense. It insults the memory of those who Perished due to lack of drugs, due to lack of arms, those who fought naked and hungry. NRA historic struggle was one of its kind, and REVISIONISM to the contrary is nonsense!

Can now see why it is important to write and tell our story, THE WAY IT WAS.

I am in #Uganda, where the government has mounted a prompt and capable response to the outbreak of #Ebola.

Screening at the borders helped detect cases arriving from neighbouring #DRC, and the country’s surveillance, testing and case management systems are doing steady work. Of the 19 confirmed cases so far, 14 were among people who entered from DRC and five are Ugandan nationals. Sadly, two people from DRC have died, and our thoughts are with their families.

@WHO is supporting Uganda, alongside @AfricaCDC and partners across the region, as the country leads this response.

With continued collaboration, I am confident this outbreak can be brought under control.

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.

So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.

As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.

[Ministry of Finance @mofpedU]

RATIONALISATION OF GOV'T EXPENDITURE:
The PSST Dr @rggoobi has said that effective next FY 2026/27, @GovUganda will not spend money on organising public functions (public holidays) including: Women's day,Labour day,Independence day etc). He says money will only be spent on the few religious functions.

According to Dr.Ggoobi,H.E the President @KagutaMuseveni will address Ugandans on Radio and Television from State House,adding that the money saved will be used to finance the priorities of Gov't (ATMS & Enablers).

No country in East Africa has the expertise and experience in Dealing with Ebola virus outbreak better than Uganda.

This afternoon, I formally submitted my expression of interest to the @NRMOnline Electoral Commission for the office of Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda. I remain committed to serving with diligence and dedication to the people and Parliament of Uganda.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.

I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.

I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.
