#Uganda is also a birthplace for coffee ( new wild species are still being discovered). That said Robusta ( which I personally prefer) is finding its place in the palette and will compete favorably with Arabica. The trading of Uganda’s premium robusta crop could be better @cobbo3 https://t.co/mGysbCVBtN
Ethiopia just earned $3 billion from coffee exports, though it is Africa's second-largest exporter behind Uganda, which reported $2.4 billion in April.
The reason for this earnings gap comes down to quality and bean type. Approximately 80% of Uganda's exports consist of lower-priced Robusta beans, which are easier to grow but fetch a lower price globally. Ethiopia, however, exports almost 100% premium Arabica coffee.
Because Ethiopia is the biological birthplace of Arabica, its beans are highly prized for their superior flavour, allowing them to command a massive price premium. Combined with recent quality reforms, Ethiopia makes far more money despite shipping a smaller physical volume of coffee. When will Uganda turn the tables?

Nigeria's Dangote Refinery has bought crude oil from the UAE for the first time.
The refinery imported 2 million barrels from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company as more Middle East oil became available after global oil prices fell.
President @KagutaMuseveni today met the Local Organizing Committee for the 2027 AFCON, which briefed him on the progress of Uganda’s preparations to co-host the tournament with Kenya and Tanzania.
The President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting the successful hosting of the continental showpiece.
Worth watching and interacting with on this matter @SholaMos1 is the late Ali Mazrui's "Africa. A Triple Heritage". Its a bigger thesis on coloniality in context and includes the swahili language ( which he wrote and spoke). TBH this proposal by the candidate in your post never impressed anyone in Uganda.

On the counter revolution I disagree. ANC has been in decline for a long time and this situation is part of it. On disinformation/Misinformation and algorithmic sabotage, sure but what is the point if ANC is unable to defend its digital sovereignty ( back to the first argument) @Rwakakamba
President Thabo Mbeki says protests targeting other Africans in South Africa are externally arranged. Looking at the history and struggles of Africa, there is very limited evidence and logic to disagree with him. Mbeki and other leaders must continue to relentlessly fight back.
