Uganda provides 600+ military and police officers to four @UNPeacekeeping missions.
They are #ServingForPeace at great personal risk and under harsh conditions to help others. We thank them for their service and sacrifice.

UPDATE - Works and Transport Minister Fred Byamukama has given taxi owners and operators until Monday to remove vehicles in poor mechanical condition from the roads. The directive is part of a 100-day campaign starting in Greater Kampala to improve road safety.
This was the moment Burkina Faso delegates confronted Macron at the Africa-France Summit. When other parts of Africa are embracing the imperialist, the Sahelian people are living up to reality.
Captain Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso replies to Sheikh Gumi of Nigeria, who criticized him as too young and naive to reject Sharia law, saying “Come to Burkina Faso and tell me I am a small boy. Come and force me to implement Sharia law.”

🚨BREAKING: Even after receiving a massive amount of BACKLASH from liberals, Sophie Cunningham says she will NOT back down! MEN DO DO NOT BELONG IN WOMEN'S SPORTS!
It's absolutely phenomenal to see an African nation like Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 prioritize a military uniform entirely made in their country with nothing imported. This is how to start a fight for pure sovereignty.
I met a delegation from Nonda Coffee Park led by Mr. Tonny Miiro Kibuuka, who briefed me on their plans to establish a coffee processing and value addition facility. I welcome this investment because it is exactly what we have always been advocating for.
Uganda should not continue exporting raw coffee. We must add value before export so that we create jobs, increase household incomes and earn more foreign exchange.
The government will support this initiative and mobilise our coffee farmers to produce more in preparation for the increased demand. I congratulate them and wish them good luck.

Çin, Trump'a meydan okuyor 🇨🇳🇺🇸
Trump: "Hürmüz Boğazı'nı yeniden açmak için günde 2 milyar dolara ihtiyacımız var."
Çin Dışişleri Bakanı: "Boğaz savaş öncesinde açıktı. İşin kökeninde İran'a yönelik yasa dışı operasyonlarınız yatıyor; yoktan var ettiğiniz bir küresel kriz yarattınız."

Shyam Jay Tanna (Tororo Municipality) used the SONA debate to call for faster progress on railway and supporting road infrastructure.
He said the project could reduce transport costs by 40%, cut travel time to Nairobi to about four hours, and create jobs and railway workshops in six major towns. He also raised concerns over delayed compensation for people whose land was acquired for the railway.

🚨New: Sadio Mane on the controversial penalty appeal for Youri Tielemans against Senegal:
🗣️“This is football, not theatre. Tielemans gets to the ball first, Camara is doing exactly what every defender is taught from the first day, clear the danger. They arrive almost together, there’s only minimal, unavoidable contact after the challenge. That alone is not a foul.
The Laws of the Game don’t punish every collision. A penalty requires a careless, reckless, or excessive-force foul. Simply making contact after both players challenge for the ball isn’t enough. Football is a contact sport, not a non-contact exhibition.
VAR is supposed to correct clear and obvious errors, not turn every 50-50 duel into a courtroom trial. Every time the referee is dragged to the monitor for incidents like this, the game loses another piece of its soul. It’s like using a microscope to find an elephant, it makes no sense.
Senegal were fighting like lions, Belgium were hanging by a thread, and then one decision threatens to rewrite the entire story. If this is a penalty today, then defenders may as well stop tackling and start writing apology letters before kick-off.
Modern football is becoming a house built on sand, one soft decision after another. The badge on the referee’s shirt is starting to carry more influence than the players wearing the jerseys. That’s not protecting the game; that’s suffocating it”
“Imperialists are fooling you that immigrants are the one taking your jobs, ok 300 Nigerians left and 300 Ghanians left now show me the 600 created jobs. Those immigrants are doing jobs that you all nationalists can’t do infact they are doing jobs that are not paid for.”

By 1879, Uganda 🇺🇬 was the only place in the world where C-section were performed to save both mother and baby.
European observers documented this practice, which used local tools, herbal anesthetics, & antiseptics.
THE WEAPONIZATION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES BY DOMINANT POWERS AGAINST THE WEAKER STATES, AND THE PERPETUATION OF NEO-COLONIAL LEGACY:
Uganda has agreed to extradite its National, a one, MICHAEL KATUNGI, to U.S to be tried for crimes he allegedly committed there. Can U.S extradite its National to Uganda to be tried? The answer is NEVER! That's why it is not a party to the ICC protocol; because they can not allow their citizens to be tried by FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS. And, indeed, in CIVIL-LAW Countries, like France, Germany, Russia, Japan..., there are strict CONSTITUTIONAL/Statutory PROHIBITIONS against handing their NATIONALS over to foreign Countries to be tried.
Because, in essence, it is an abuse of the Principle of the SOVEREIGNTY OF STATES and the Principle of SOCIAL CONTRACT, ie, The SOVEREIGN STATE'S DUTY TO PROTECT ITS NATIONALS. More so, when such EXTRADITION TREATY LACKS THE POWER OF RECIPROCITY, ie, POWER ASYMMETRY, like we see in this case.
Therefore, Uganda must evoke what's known as the ACTIVE PERSONALITY PRINCIPLE where we ASSERT our own CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM against our Citizens for crimes they could have committed abroad. Therefore, Uganda must reject the EXTRADITION of KATUNGI to U.S, and instead, subject him to our own Criminal Trial, here. By so doing, we serve both JUSTICE AND OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
Even in the CA, some of us were against these one-way-traffic EXTRADITION TREATIES. But then, like now, our economic dependency and the never ending conditional aid and leverage nonsense, always determine the outcome!
It is therefore a shame, to extradite our National to U.S when U.S CAN NEVER EXTRADITE AN AMERICAN TO UGANDA. Doing so is a clear sign of the modern MASTER-SLAVE NEO-COLONIAL RELATIONS; where historical subjugation evolved into these, even, not so subtle systems of DOMINANATION.
SHAME, Uganda 🇺🇬!
Thomas Sankara was the revolutionary leader and president of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987. Known as “Africa’s Che Guevara,” Sankara aimed to free his country from poverty, corruption and foreign dependence.
Sankara introduced sweeping social and economic reforms. He improved education and healthcare, launching vaccination campaigns that protected millions of children from diseases such as measles and meningitis. He promoted local food production and sought to reduce dependence on foreign aid. As part of his fight against corruption, he cut government luxury spending and lived a modest lifestyle himself.
He strongly supported women’s rights. He banned forced marriages and female genital mutilation, and encouraged women to serve in government and the military. Sankara also placed great importance on environmental protection, planting millions of trees to combat desertification.
Thomas Sankara was killed in a military coup on 15 October 1987. He was 37 years old. His independent stance against foreign powers, particularly France, as well as IMF policies and imperialism, is widely regarded as one of the key factors that led to his assassination.
