@MChagara Did we miss the memo? 😂😂

First time hearing about gorillas in Mubende..... You learn something new daily

In case you haven’t seen the new Arua city head offices 🤥🙃. @munyangogabona congratulations on your recent milestone! In case you’re around the corner, and start encountering questions like “so what?” or “whats the theoretical contribution to the body of knowledge?”, which I believe you’ll encounter many times on your journey, let’s catch-up over coffee 🤝

Inside the deadly civil war that tore apart a group of chimpanzees. on.wsj.com/4sAZzwd

@Johnblanshe_m Much appreciated !!☺️

Been trying to locate some of the Ugandan co-authors of this study. Here is one, @ASIANZUBLESSIN1, a PhD student. Let's celebrate them.

@MrPitbull07 Get your facts straight and don’t misinform the masses!! doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Chimpanzees in the Congo are going through what scientists are calling a civil war, and now trail cameras are showing behavior so strange that some believe they are evolving even further. Wildlife researchers had already been tracking rising violence within one chimp group, with signs that the animals were splitting into rival sides and attacking one another in what some people were describing as a kind of civil war. But the story took an even stranger turn once trail cameras began capturing details that made almost no sense. In a few clips, dogs were seen moving alongside the chimps and even attacking other chimps during the chaos. That was when the speculation exploded. Some people began saying the chimps might somehow be training the dogs with scent to go after rival groups, while others believed the dogs may have simply gotten mixed into the conflict on their own. But the bigger question quickly became where the dogs were even coming from. According to villagers nearby, dogs had been going missing for months, and now some believe the disappearances may be connected. Whether that is true or not, the footage has people saying the same thing: whatever is happening out there, it feels like the chimps are getting smarter.

@AtwineChrispus @Jaya1Ernest The rate of fabrication is getting out of hand.😂

@ASIANZUBLESSIN1 @Jaya1Ernest May we can arrange a televised program and u explain this to Ugandans

False narrative!! First this is happening in Ngogo,Kibale National Park! Second, the chimps’ names are true but Garrison and Morton were never alpha. In fact my colleagues and I observed and documented Morton’s death in a different lethal encounter!! Please verify your source!

@Jaya1Ernest @AtwineChrispus Correct! Chimp Empire, the Netflix documentary, didn't contain all these accounts of attacks! Also, the chimps are not on script like in the movies, so these lethal attacks sometimes happen unpredictably. But because this is sourced from an article, it takes time to analyse data

@AtwineChrispus @ASIANZUBLESSIN1 And I remember watching this doc on natgeo some time back, I wonder why it's just going viral

@AtwineChrispus @Jaya1Ernest 😂😂😂. I gat you!

@ASIANZUBLESSIN1 @Jaya1Ernest Blessing, was my college mate who undertook the study of the civil war so going forward Todamu kunimba !

@AtwineChrispus @rwomchechen It's all fabrications 😂! What we know so far is that the lethal attacks have been happening since 2018 and are one-sided, especially from the Western group! But they've not been happening every single day continuously! When they do, they are mostly lethal!

@rwomchechen Is it true @ASIANZUBLESSIN1

They have agreed to a ceasefire brokered by afande #Rugongo

@AtwineChrispus Yeah, I am here policing false narratives. 😂😂

@ASIANZUBLESSIN1 That's my girl Apamaku 🤩🤩

@AtwineChrispus @256Rootyherman @_papawere @Fengmcclane I even recorded some of the footage you are watching, FYI 😂. Remember Ngogo is my field site?

@ASIANZUBLESSIN1 @256Rootyherman @_papawere @Fengmcclane It's serious this end, u need to back and witness by yourself

We need those Dollars paid to us directly by tourists ... Spokes Chimpanzee

In a rare, decades-long study, researchers in Science have documented what appears to be the first observed “civil war” in wild chimpanzees. The findings demonstrate that shifting social ties alone can fracture a once unified group and ignite sustained, deadly conflict among former allies. scim.ag/4dDhoHq

@WKwinn @amanubo I’m here! Ask away!! 😁

@amanubo @ASIANZUBLESSIN1 😂😂😂😂tag them

Apparently there's a chimpanzee war going on in Uganda but surprisingly our local media doesn't know about it. Its being reported by International media & am asking myself, who & how are they getting such information without the whole country knowing not even our tourism gurus?

It’s my duty, as one of your ‘chimp war’ correspondents to attest to witnessing some of these lethal encounters at Ngogo, @kibaleforest !! Be encouraged to read the Science article here; doi.org/10.1126/scienc… But for now let the questions, discussions and memes flow 😂!

Finally visited the Texas State Capitol😅 after a year of “I will visit next weekend” 😂.

World's first autonomous delivery of a car! This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner
