My Easter 2020 Challenge
Your Invitation
Dearly Beloved,
Between 2012 and 2016, I had the opportunity to serve at an American School in Burundi and Namilyango College, one of the Best Secondary Schools in Uganda.
I forgot to post my worlds XC predictions at a reasonable hour, but Kenyan men win, US men are 3rd, Ethiopian women win, US women are 4th, Kiplimo wins, 2 US men are top 5, Ngetich wins, 2 US women are top 10
A new women's champion will be crowned as Kiplimo chases a historic third men's title... The World Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee sets off in an hour..

As a parent, I think this video has taught me something useful.
I recommend that you should try it on your kids, too.
I have also shared it with my wife.

These are not her words. Who else can not see that she was reading from a script and was under immense pressure. If walls could speak, Uganda would be a better place, for sure.
These are two videos of Florence taken from different angles but carrying the same message.
The first was released by @ChrisObore1, the Director of Communications and Public Affairs at Parliament and a close associate of AAA.
The second was shared by @SabitiJoseph, the Principal Press Secretary to AAA.
Now, here’s the question:
Why are AAA’s associates the ones releasing these videos instead of the woman in question herself?
If she genuinely wanted to set the record straight, shouldn’t she have shared the video on her own social media platforms or released it directly to the media?
Moreover, in his post, Joseph raises questions about her membership in @NUP_Ug , when she joined the party and under what circumstances, yet in the videos, she clearly identifies herself as the NUP flag bearer.
Could she have been given a flag before officially becoming a member of the party?
Just asking!
