What do you know about vehicle parts manufacturing in Uganda? 🤔 Are you aware that it’s already happening? 🇺🇬 From local innovation to growing industrial capacity,Uganda is quietly building in this space. The real question is, are we paying enough attention to what’s being made at home? #STIWorksUg | #MadeInUganda #NSW2026Ug


#BREAKING Brief analysis on why Ugandan troop presence in Somalia is critical, possible reasons for anti-Turkish outbursts by Ugandan army chief Comments today by the Somali president on Army Day suggestive of Somalia's readiness to send back Ugandan troops mark a rapid escalation in rhetoric and barbs between Turkey and Uganda over their role in Somalia. One must however be careful against reading too much into rhetoric by all sides. Reality is that Mogadishu and Somalia cannot survive without UPDF military assistance. And here is why. 1. UPDF bilateral forces are more than 8k and under ATMIS around 4.5k. In total, Uganda has over 12k troops in active security/combat duties. Uganda has the largest contingent in Somalia. A sudden exit will almost inevitably collapse security in and around Mogadishu. 2. Bulk of UPDF deployed to protect key installations in Mogadishu such as the port and airport. The Airport is home to a growing number of diplomatic missions. These missions may be forced to review their presence at Halane Compound if the Ugandans suddenly pulled out and control and checks transferred to Somali forces. Such apprehensions partly linked to the chronic problem of AS infiltration of Somali security and military institutions. 3. UPDF battlegroup in recent months fanned out of Mogadishu, pushed AS out of 3 'bridge towns' along the Shabelle River. This relatively good operation was extraordinarily complex. UPDF suffered heavy casualties. Turkish military provided some aerial help but did not put boots on the ground. Gen Muhoozi's anti-Turkey comments may actually have been triggered by the costly experience in the Shabelle where - at least from Uganda's perspective - the Turks left Ugandan troops to do the heavy lifting whilst claiming credit for the successes. 4. UPDF troops are now holding territory and manning multiple FOBs in the Shabelle to secure Mogadishu, stop AS advance. An Egyptian deployment that was supposed to provide relief and support and deploy to the town of Adale in Shabelle has not arrived. Burundian forces who in the past work closely with the Ugandans to defend Mogadishu outward perimeter have exited Somalia after Mogadishu refused to renew their mandate. Kampala is frustrated because under the original plan the burden of combat was supposed to be evenly shared. UPDF's primary job is combat support to the SNA and not to provide 'hold' muscle for the SNA. 5. Uganda's ire is not just driven by the grim situation on the ground but also by surging anti-Uganda propaganda as well as official narrative of praise for Turkish and Egyptian military support whilst minimising African sacrifices. In Kampala the excessive adulation for the new 'Muslim actors' in Somalia read as 'ingratitude', perceived in racialised terms - as anti-black, anti-African bias.










@AntiGraft_SH , is it possible that you are aware of this list of the alleged beneficiaries of teb iron'shits'? Can they be tried together with Kitutu and we let court determine their level of involvement in this diabolical theft?

I respectfully request my big brother Ladit @norbertmao to not run for Speaker of Parliament. Please listen to your younger brother. We can get better positions. 🙏
