🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Siku ya kwanza ya ziara yangu ya kitaifa katika Shirikisho la Urusi ambapo pamoja na mambo mengine, nimepata heshima ya kukutana na kufanya mazungumzo na Mheshimiwa Rais Vladimir Putin jijini Moscow.
Kwa pamoja tumepongeza ukuaji wa biashara kati ya nchi zetu uliofikia asilimia 72 katika kipindi cha mwaka 2020 hadi 2025. Hata hivyo, kwa kuzingatia historia kubwa ya ushirikiano na uhusiano wa kirafiki kati ya mataifa yetu, tumekubaliana kuongeza juhudi za kukuza biashara na uwekezaji ili kuleta manufaa makubwa zaidi ya kiuchumi na ustawi wa wananchi wa nchi zetu.
Aidha, kwa lengo la kufungua fursa zaidi kwa wananchi na kuharakisha maendeleo ya kijamii na kiuchumi, tumejadili namna ya kuimarisha ushirikiano katika sekta mbalimbali za kimkakati, zikiwemo sayansi na teknolojia, elimu, nishati, madini, kilimo, miundombinu na utalii.
"But you're from Naijjerrya, who gave you the right to tell a story about Tanzania?"
That's easy: The same person that gave the right to BBC, Al-Jazeera, CNN and that obsessed American conflict entrepreneur in Nairobi to tell their own stories about Tanzania.
Die mad about it.
You heard that Tanzania had a flawed election last year, followed by post-election violence from disgruntled young Tanzanians protesting against Africa's first female dictator. You heard that thousands of people were massacred and dumped in mass graves. You heard that this was "Democracy" versus "Dictatorship."
But what if you found out that everything you have heard about what happened from October 29 to the first week of November in Tanzania was completely fabricated? What if everything you "know" about Tanzania's 2025 election is the result of a brutal information campaign waged by an adversary more powerful than any African government?
The Spearhead has spent 7 months working onsite across Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya to produce our first feature-length documentary titled "What Happened On October 29?"
The documentary will premiere in Accra at 5PM on Tuesday May 26 at the WAGMC Auditorium, University of Ghana. Subsequently, it will also premiere in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi before going up for general viewership on YouTube on May 31.
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.
