Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family, the people of Tooro Kingdom, and the nation of Uganda following the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.

May God comfort all who mourn.
My conversation about a "civilizational reset" with Michael Yon and Matt Bracken. Most westerners have no idea how fragile our current world really is... and how quickly it can crumble. @Matt_Bracken48@Michael_Yon
"No matter how much money you have in this country, the moment you step out of your house, you are poor!"
I sought to ask @NativeLandgrab about his illuminating piece, "Parliament is the Bribe", but the conversation took us back to the basics: class consciousness, earlier revolutionaries, neoliberalism, politics of envy, a critical mass … A wholesome sit-down.
We sit down for @observerug viewpoint

Dr Michael Atingi-Ego, the Governor Bank of Uganda, delves into the economic consequences of the proposed Protection of Sovereignty Bill before parliament.
Listen to 8 minutes of pure wisdom.
.@cobbo3 do you remember the phrase from the Clinton 92 campaign for the US Presidency that sunk George H. W? Why the architects & champions of this did not seek counsel of those who know is mind boggling. This embarrassment that the #SovereigntyBill has become could have been avoided well in advance🤷🏿♂️
“Why do we accept that Israel has a nuclear bomb? This is absolutely unacceptable. No, you call Iran the main threat, but look at Israel bombing Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen what else Qatar recently...”
—MEP Marc Botenga calls out western hypocrisy when it comes to Israel.
@ntvuganda Good development. Hope the peace last.
And Rwanda should have seen this coming given then Ukraine deal. Its much easier to trade on the Atlantic than searching for the Black sea
An Israeli prisoner in Gaza
Alexander Turbanov, gave a surprising statement from occupied Israel upon his return:
“Your kindness will forever be etched on my soul.
I spent 498 days among you.
Despite the oppression and aggression you endured,
I learned from you the true meaning of manhood, pure bravery, humanity, and respect for values.
Even in captivity, you were free,
while I, being free, was a prisoner.
You protected my life.
Like a father treats his sons with love,
you cared for my dignity, health, and honor.
Though I was in the hands of people fighting for their land and stolen freedom,
and while my government was committing the worst genocide against a besieged nation,
you neither starved me nor humiliated me.
I saw the real meaning of manhood in your eyes.
I understood the value of sacrifice by living among you.
I saw you smiling even in the face of death,
against an enemy armed with weapons of mass destruction,
while you had nothing but your own bodies.
Even if I tried, I couldn’t find the words
to truly express your worth and status,
or to reflect my astonishment and admiration for your noble character.
Does your faith really teach you to treat prisoners this way?
How great is that belief
that raises you to such a level
where all man-made laws of human rights fall apart,
and all protocols of war pale in comparison to your example.
Even in the harshest of times, your justice and mercy stood out —
not just as slogans,
but in your actual behavior.
You never compromised on your principles,
no matter how dark the circumstances were.
Believe me, if I ever return,
I will live among you as a dedicated student,
because I have learned the truth from your people.
I have realized that you are not just the owners of the land,
but the owners of principles and justice.”
Never forget Hind Rajab 💔
She was just six years old and lsraeI shot at her 355 times. They knew she was in the car. They shot 355 times.
She was terrified.
Western media described her as a “woman” to protect lsraeI’s image.
Never forget.
