Dr Gerald Bareebe

I’m pleased to share that my new book on Uganda’s social structures and the durability of the NRM regime, is now available for pre-order. It’s available via the publisher, Palgrave Macmillan, Amazon and Indigo (Canada & USA) and academic libraries.link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

@JWaninda The both do. Lakers are no. 1 this season, but today Celtics were at another level. I was watching it on the Celtics own TV and even their own announcers were shocked at some of the flopping calls for Boston that were called and the uncalled calls for OKC.

@GeraldBareebe But OKC are the *experts at flopping. Things just didn't go their way this time round.

Celtics win 119 - 109 Thunder.

@introvert_micky @Naturinda96 Yes, partly owned by government because of USE. It’s the arrangement in most church owned schools to have a form of government ownership due to USE

@Naturinda96 It belongs to a former MP, former shareholder in Progressive Secondary Schools( Lubaga & Bweyogerere) called Kahwa. He's staunch NRM.

This school in Hoima must have copied the exams. This is exceptional.

@introvert_micky @Naturinda96 Do research first please. St. Andrea Kaahwa’s college Hoima is owned by Hoima catholic Diocese.

Read my latest article in @AfrAfJournal with Dr. Christopher Day, examining Uganda’s unusual arrangement of having soldiers in parliament and its implications for democracy, political institutionalisation and civil-military relations. academic.oup.com/afraf/advance-…

ICYMI: Since gaining independence in 1962, Uganda has not had a professional and permanent army. In the second installment of the serialization of an anthology that looks at the processes behind the autocratic deepening in Uganda, titled Autocratisation in Contemporary Uganda: Clientelism, Coercion and Social Control, Gerald Bareebe examines the instrumental use of the army through nepotism and patronage under the @KagutaMuseveni regime. 👉bit.ly/41Hhyar #MonitorUpdates

@ponton_alex .....Lots of Ugandans making chapatis :)

@GeraldBareebe I wonder what comes after the etc. South Sudan still imports a lot from Uganda, I agree. Could we have more players there though? 100% I think

I have been to Rwanda, Kenya and DRC (Goma) in the last 3 months. How many Ugandan brands did I see there? Less than the fingers on my right hand. For the record, I still have 5. Ugandans entrepreneurs I meet often are affraid of expanding to neighbouring countries out of ignorance, bad experience (often from acquintances) and the fact that they feel like they have to do everything alone. So if we are serious: - Where is the funding to open showrooms in Nairobi? - Where is the training on the East African Quality Standards? - Where are the workshops to figure out the logistics of opening a company in Goma and getting goods there? - Where are the trade missions to find buyers in Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, etc. They are there but I still find out about them 2 days before by dead-scrolling through Twitter. Geez I am a consultant, that's my job. Imagine Hadijja in between 2 deliveries at the back of a truck... Me procrastinating on Twitter shouldn't be what gets those events on my radar. We are not in 1994 anymore, publishing a call for Tender in New Visions is not nearly enough if you want to reach the busy and young entrepreneurs... I raise my hat to president @KagutaMuseveni for pushing the East African integration agenda. I have been doing so since I became active on Twitter. I want to see Ugandan products on shelves all across the Continent! Now let's get those umbrella organisation that take this to heart to seriously spread the gospel (and the resources that are available!)...

@ponton_alex I am currently in South Sudan. I can see Goodwill and Millennium tiles , Roofings iron bars, Tororo and Hima cement, Ruwenzori mineral water etc.

Read my article in the latest issue of @WegandaReview . It explains why the ‘institutionalization’ of President Yoweri Museveni is a betrayal of hope and goodwill, and a return to authoritarianism. thewegandareview.org/political-rema…

Happy new reading! A couple of articles that came out while we were on hiatus: First, @GeraldBareebe examines the #Museveni regime's efforts to suppress #BobiWine's youth movement in #Uganda tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

This astonishing issue of TWR will be published in Jan. In any event, @WegandaReview No. 3 isn't one to be missed. Cover art is by @ronexarts. @cobbo3, @BBatwooki, @PTabaire, @Kwezi_Tabaro, @rkabushenga, @nyamadon, @OdokiJ, @GeraldBareebe, @rachealkay29, @JackeeBatanda

My article explaining how President Museveni’s regime stifled Bobi Wine youth-led movement through controlling consent, containing dissent and planting misinformation is published in the Canadian Journal of African Studies. Access Taylor & Francis shorturl.at/ikPQS
