Uganda is distancing itself from the Ebola outbreak in the DRC, pointing out that the 2 confirmed cases are both Congolese nationals. Why are there so many Ebola outbreaks in Congo? Some people eat fruit bats, experts say

@kasujja We need to explore more local and regional tourism and focus on other markets not those constantly giving travel advices about us.

On the one hand they claim to want to foster good business relationships with Uganda(ns) Next… They make moves that could bankrupt Ugandan businesses.. My heart goes out to compatriots in the tourism industry..

@benmwine @PoliceUg @M_Kananura We need to be sure that it works. I agree with you Ben. As the bidding war is about to start.

Dear @PoliceUg @M_Kananura is there any chance I could get this for a test drive...? I think Ugandans really want to know what this feels like and why it is such a big deal.....

@benmwine You might cut someone's grass when they have plans to grow it and u get in trouble.

What in the pettiness is this!? How dark does your heart need to be to behave like this?

@StateHouseUg @Egyptmfa @GovUganda He means business. Less than 6hours state visit

As H.E. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi concludes his official visit to Uganda, we thank him for the fruitful engagements held in the spirit of friendship and cooperation. We wish His Excellency safe travels and look forward to deeper collaboration between Uganda and Egypt.

@benmwine @mkainerugaba I was offended until i saw ZIM, then i rested

@benmwine As someone once said, we have village people 😂😂😂😂

There are some activities you just know you won't find many black people!!

@JulzKagwa @MauriceMugisha Well done

It’s a thrill to see global stars like Maisie Williams visit the Pearl of Africa. Her journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park perfectly captures why #DestinationUganda is, in her own words, the "Gold Standard" for ethical wildlife tourism. From rare sightings to life-changing connections, this is conservation in action. To East Africans and the rest of the world, the gorillas are waiting. #ExploreUganda now. A girl appreciated our conservation efforts. 😊

@benmwine Our silence is sponsored by the British Govt and the Americans. @ChelseaFC still wondering if we are a FC

Eh! Just when I thought my Liverpool was doing badly...

@_onlyscott Argentina

Which national team is this? 👀 Level: HARD

@benmwine This internet🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@FabrizioRomano @grok why is Joao Pedro not playing today?

🚨🔙 Enzo Fernández, back into Chelsea squad today and immediately in the starting XI to face Man United. João Pedro, not even on the bench.

@benmwine you might be considered a foreign agent for supporting @LFC instead of @SCVillaJogoo if government policy is to promote sports locally. Just saying....

@rukundo_jobson @ubctvuganda Lets me fair, would you personally give your land that u bought with hard earned money to government for free. This is not about the church. It is the principle. They paid money for the land, if govt wants it they should be paid for it. U would do the same.

@ubctvuganda No wonder I don't subscribe to such "churches"!!! It's all about money money money! The heart institute benefits us all as Ugandans and your establishment is very inferior when it comes to our health

Apostle Grace Lubega: “Phaneroo is not standing in the way of any development or road construction. We have only said that if you want part of our land, compensate what the Christians paid for.”

I thought the qualification brings with it the money.

#TheCapitalGang The definition is not clear when even local banks are concerned that they will be classified as foreign agents in their normal business. @SemweyaMusoke

@benmwine @Coventry_City Also What happens to NF if they win Europa and get relegated. Do we have a championship team in Champions League? Is that even possible?

Congratulations to @Coventry_City !! Big possibility they will be replacing Spurs! Who would have thought!?
