The NGO Act requires NGOs to report their sources of funds to the NGO Bureau. The Sovereignty Bill also requires reporting on funds to the very same Minister under whose docket the NGO Bureau sits. Regulatory katogo and compliance hell just!

"GO FIGHT FOR THE LAND"; what a clever and patriotic African! ... The stupid ignorant XENOPHOBES are fighting over MANUEL JOBS of attending CEMETERIES, emptying MORTUARIES and WASHING PLATES in Hotels, as their useless leaders look on! 73% of the Agricultural land is owned by just 7.3 %of the population(White). Currently, there are 2.5million hectares of government unutulised lands undisturbed,etc..yet, Black South Africans are attacking fellow Africans for Mortuary jobs! If These fellows got access to just 60% of the land and leave 40% of the highly-capitalised farms in the hands of the 7% so as not to interrupt food production and the economy; considering the Multiplier effect of this...., South Africa would create 3 million jobs instantly! Angela Merkel of Germany took in 1m immigrants from Syria...in ONE GO(single year) and employed them ALL.... And here we are with this ANC GOVERNMENT in power 30years and citizens fighting on streets for dish-washing jobs. Should Africans be saved from RECOLONIZATION? WHAT FOR?

I am incredibly sad to learn of Peter Mulira's passing. He was a remarkable person and a source of support and inspiration in my early work. I dare say, had it not been for Peter's mentorship, my earliest research would not have gotten off the ground. Peter and I worked together to deposit his father's papers at @CASCambridge & @theULSpecColl, where they can now be digitally accessed: repository.cam.ac.uk/collections/97… The Collection provides a powerful, intimate window into Uganda's postcolonial politics. Peter will be missed by so many, and I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. Requiescat in pace.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of addressing the graduates @UMich commencement. I spoke about the long history of student activism, which has moved the University toward justice. Here is a video. It has caused a furore on social media & in UM admin. youtube.com/watch?v=iu0xsQ…

BREAKING NEWS 🆘The daughter of U.S. Republican Senator Jay Block: 🆘 "Israel pays money to my father, and he spreads propaganda. I am deeply ashamed of this situation. I believe my father has sold his soul to the devil. I hope his career ends!"

Thank you @DailyMonitor for publishing Tegule’s reminiscences. Noble used to joke that he personified the NRM because those letters were also his initials - Noble Rwaboni Mayombo🤣 We lived in the same Hall - Mitchell and sat in the same class for three years. He was one of the five soldiers of the NRA who had returned from the bush to resume studies. Their five were inseparable. Their pentagon had Mayombo, Mugira, Turyatunga, Karemire and Bainomugisha. The opposite pentagon had Oulanyah, Kajubi-Ssepuuya, Othembi, Olok-Asobasi and I. When I first visited Mayombo’s room I found he had an oversized 6 inch mattress on a tiny bed. Apart from the usual legal tomes, his bookshelf was full of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Kim Il Sung, and other communist thinkers. I recall that Cuban revolutionary icons Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were his true role models. He could recite entire passages from Castro’s courtroom apologia - History Shall Absolve Me. After the Guild race he refused to accept that his was a real loss. He claimed that it was due to a gap in the consciousness of the students who were confused about who can best serve their interests. He saw himself as a Daniel Ortega whose Sandinista Party overthrew the Samoza regime in Nicaragua but lost elections in 1990. I think Noble wanted to blunt the sting of the electoral loss. I told him that the students were actually aware of their interests that is why they voted for a candidate who was resisting the IMF/World Bank inspired structural adjustment policies that the NRM government had embraced lock, stock and barrel. This policy package forced developing countries like Uganda to carry out radical privatization programs and cut social spending. It was indeed a medicine whose side effects were worse than the disease it intended to cure! Our disagreements never degenerated into personal conflicts. No wonder a few months after the elections, during the Annual Africa Week, we held a Mock OAU Summit (now AU), and Noble agreed to play the role of Libyan President Gadaffi! He gave a sterling performance. Another Guild contestant, Amon Muzoora played the role of the host President Museveni with Grace Rubaale as First Lady Janet Museveni. Such fora gave the students the opportunity to delve into policy debates and gain insight into the problems afflicting society.

Fascinating stuff …. Iran has indeed been preparing for this kind of war for 40 years…

This one contributed big time on our plight

This is astonishing and should be reported by every media outlet in the country. David Cameron, the then Foreign Secretary, reportedly threatened to defund the ICC and withdraw from the Rome Statute if an arrest warrant for Netanyahu was issued. Cameron must be investigated.

Botswana 🇧🇼 Afrique du Sud 🇿🇦 Le Botswana coupe l'électricité à l'Afrique du Sud et ferme ses frontières. Une action salutaire Le président Duma Boko a décrété l'état d’urgence et annoncé des mesures drastiques contre l'Afrique du Sud, dans un contexte de tensions exacerbées par des accusations de #xénophobie à l'encontre des citoyens botswanais. Parmi les décisions les plus marquantes figure la coupure d'électricité dans plusieurs provinces sud-africaines, une mesure sans précédent qui risque d'aggraver la crise énergétique que connaît déjà le pays voisin. Par ailleurs, le gouvernement botswanais a ordonné la fermeture immédiate de ses frontières et exigé le retour de tous ses ressortissants actuellement en Afrique du Sud. Dans un discours ferme, Duma Boko a vivement critiqué le traitement réservé aux citoyens botswanais, rappelant le soutien historique de son pays durant la lutte contre le régime d'apartheid. « Nous vous avons aidés à lutter contre l'oppression, et aujourd'hui nos enfants sont humiliés.

The Sovereignty Bill should be withdrawn & reintroduced. Not a novel ask, in 2023, AG @KiryowaKk himself moved to withdraw the Public Service Pension Fund Bill after it was substantially amended. Same principle applies now. Withdraw. Consult. Reintroduce @Parliament_Ug

This week we received a donation (from a Ugandan living in Uganda) of UGX 10,000,000 to support our work. Well wishers like this are welcome to enable the continuation of our work following the freeze of the organisation's bank account by FIA. In December 2025, during the launch of the "Uganda's Transition Question" book, we commissioned a fundraiser to support our work amidst the external funding cuts. We call upon anyone who can support Agora in any way to reach out as we navigate the complicated terrain that we continue to operate in. Thank you!

A CNN investigation reveals a majority of U.S. military sites in the Middle East are damaged by Iranian strikes. @tamaraqiblawi’s report:

Your reputation precedes you Mr Sekatawa. A true patriot. Thank you for serving our country with exception. Very well deserved.

My goodness 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😳😥… Why would anyone listen to this and not see through the act 🙈

Julius Malema has been standing on business and has never changed his narrative when it comes to protecting the dignity of Black people! 🫰🏾

This cost them about $1 trillion. The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people. And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

The idea that there is a third hand in the sudden wave of “anti-immigration” protests, particularly a hand of capital is not far-fetched. The central role of the hostels, should prove this to us. A few months ago I read an opinion piece from an Israeli based publication, calling for the decentralisation of SA along ethnic lines, suddenly hostel dwellers led by the Ntelezi twins are on a tour of SA trying to stir unrest. At the dawn of SA’s democracy, in order to undermine the idea of a democratic and black-led government, the Apartheid regime funded and armed black on black violence in SA, and at the centre of their strategy was the mobilisation of hostels. The hostels were the hub of firearms, spears and centres of violence in black communities. These hostels have been activated again, now to foment unrest in the country regarding illegal immigration. It is not a coincidence that the Ntelezi crew had to bus themselves to East London and could not mobilise organically there, the hostel base and cells do not exist in East London. They don’t exist in Cape Town or Limpopo either. The employers who hire cheap and illegal immigrant labour are not held responsible, the government which is failing to manage the borders is not held responsible, but rather, hostels are mobilised into vigilante groups, and urged by desperate politicians who recruit people today and make them Mayoral candidates tomorrow, based on how popular they are in relation to this violence. There is no political party that will regret their association with this more than Action SA. They already distanced themselves in East London when they encouraged something they could not finish, the same is inevitable in Gauteng and KZN. This is not organic, and it would be naive for any observer to think so. There is an attempt to undermine SA’s moral authority to question Israel’s genocide. First it was white genocide which failed, now it’s a funded and hostel centric project to harm immigrants.
