In this video is Atuhaire Blessing, her Father, Moses Nfitumukiza and her mother, Abonire Prudence. This video was captured at Blessings home. The house in the background is her home. Her Father is a boda-boda rider while her mother is involved in manual labor; usually tilling land for other people in order to get money. Blessing according to her Father has never gone beyond a 3rd position in class; I guess this explains her passion for education. According to some People, Blessing is a privileged kid😳😳 Thanks @bakigatv for getting us more details about Blessing.

There is just too much alarming news and activity of late! One might even forget that the president is soon swearing in, and that up to now the detailed results have never been uploaded by the EC onto their website as required.

Uganda’s proposed Sovereignty Bill is the ONLY law in the world openly attempting something this sweeping: it legally turns its own citizens abroad into “foreigners”. The Bill is explicit. A “foreigner” includes “Ugandan citizens residing abroad”. That single clause redraws the boundary of citizenship. It means diaspora money, relationships, and even family support can fall under foreign control rules. So the implications are not abstract. -A mother in Mbale receiving school fees from her son in London. -A boda boda rider in Gulu financed by a brother in Dubai. -A small shop in Mbarara stocked using capital sent from Boston. All could, in theory, fall under foreign influence rules. Then the net widens. The definition of an “agent of a foreigner” includes anyone “directly or indirectly… financed or subsidised” by a foreigner. Not directed. Not controlled. Simply funded. -A journalist paid by a locally registered outlet that receives donor support. -A researcher on a project with partial foreign grants. -An NGO worker whose salary traces back, however distantly, to external funding. All can be classified as “agents”. Clause 22 then imposes a hard ceiling: “a cap on foreign funding of approximately UGX 400 million within any twelve-month period”, beyond which ministerial approval is required. So: -A private hospital built with diaspora investment. -A school supported by an international foundation. -A construction firm using a foreign loan. Then comes the sharpest edge. -Clause 13 creates the offence of economic sabotage, criminalising anyone who “publishes information… that weakens or damages the economic system”. So: -A newspaper reporting a currency slide. -An analyst warning about debt stress. -A civil society group highlighting inflation pressures. Even if accurate, such reporting could fall foul of the law. Finally, Clause 5 prohibits activities that promote foreign interests “against the interests of Uganda”, a phrase the law does not define. Put together, these clauses do something unprecedented. -They do not just regulate foreign influence. -They redefine who is foreign. -They extend control from politics into everyday economic and social life. In most countries, including Ethiopia and Ethiopia, sovereignty laws manage outsiders. Here, Uganda redefined outsiders to include its citizens, basically rewriting the 1995 constitution. Of course it’s in the preparatory and consultation stage and could change for better - or WORSE!

1/ Under new Uganda Sovereignty bill, receiving money from a relative living abroad could make a grandmother a potential “foreign agent” and national security threat. Ugandans living abroad are classified as foreigners, a world first. 😳😳😳 #story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/na…

This video is both heartbreaking and life-inspiring. A film crew tries to film the destruction caused by US/Israeli bombing at an apartment complex in Iran. One of the tenants, an old man whose apartment has been almost completely shattered, insists on inviting the film crew in and offering them something to eat. "We have only come to film, we don't want anything," the crew says. But the old man insists on at least offering them oranges and apples. Ultimately, those who come out victorious from conflicts are those who retain their dignity. Who never let war make them lose their humanity and self-respect. Who, even in the worst of situations, insist on upholding sacred traditions and beliefs, including that of hospitality. That's what makes a civilization indestructible. Please remember this video and do your best to forget the videos of the lost souls dancing and cheering on the streets when their countrymen, women, and children were being killed by "democracy and freedom" bombs.

I have been in terrible health since November 2025. While I will keep the details of my health condition private, I can promise the worst is behind me now. I am well on the way to better health and will be back in a few months. Thank you to those who have been in touch and supported me in these trying times. We’ll be back, babe, and ever so strong. We remain undaunted in our pursuit of justice, equality, and fairness.

The death of Irene on Sunday reminded me that most of us care when someone is dead. I wish she had trended as much when she was still alive and needed help and needed justice. I wish we showed the same outrage over what happened to her. I wish the media houses had called for interviews then so that we establish and ascertain what exactly happened to her when it still mattered most. Apart from a few who shared and retweeted about her ordeal, and even fewer who contributed the 800k we used for the short treatment, others generally kept quiet until she died. I am sure we are waiting to show the same outrage when Sam Mugumya or Mama Kyeyune turn up dead or @kizzabesigye1 dies in prison (God forbid)
