A tax dispute between @mtnug and the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) @URAuganda over Shs169.9 billion in alleged liabilities from mobile money transactions audited between December 2019 and December 2022. The conflict stems from URA's failure to issue a formal statutory tax assessment, relying instead on letters and meetings, which the Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled as improper procedure and granted MTN an injunction against enforcement. MTN challenges both the process and the underlying liability claims, which were revised multiple times during reconciliations, while the airtime-related portion of the audit followed standard assessment steps.

Uganda Railways Corporation's UGX 32.8 billion net loss in FY 2024/25 and UGX 4.6 billion in idle assets due to low rail usage favoring road transport. Key problems cited include the 2022 procurement of second-hand locomotives for UGX 48 billion bypassing procedures, grounded marine vessels like MV Pamba, and high administrative costs up to 20% of project budgets flagged by the Auditor General. It references parliamentary PAC findings, stalled SGR initiatives, and investigations into procurement inefficiencies that have led to mounting debt and lost cargo opportunities with neighbors like Kenya and Tanzania.

Unidentified gunmen killed over 70 people at Jebel Iraq gold mine in South Sudan's Central Equatoria State near Juba on March 28-29 2026. Opposition SPLM/A-IO blamed government SSPDF forces for the massacre due to their control of the area, while officials described the attackers as unknown amid a dispute over mining rights. South Sudan's largely unregulated gold mining sector has a history of violent clashes between miners, companies, and armed groups at sites like Jebel Iraq, exacerbating resource-based conflicts.

Russian An-26 military transport plane crashed in Crimea on March 31, killing all 29 people aboard (6 crew and 23 passengers). Russia's Defence Ministry attributes the crash during a routine flight to technical malfunction after the plane lost contact and hit a cliff, with no external damage or hostile action reported. The Soviet-era Ukrainian-made An-26 has a record of fatal incidents; the event unfolds amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict where Crimea remains a key strategic Russian-held territory.
