Gathanga Ndung’u - community organiser & activist at @MathareSJustice - explains how Kenya’s puppet government is helping France salvage its waning colonial grip on Africa & how the voices opposed to these imperial manoeuvres are being brutally silenced. roape.net/2026/05/14/afr…

thank you, Justice Egonda-Ntende.

Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye made 70 today – in jail! I met him for the first time this year, & the impression is permanent. No doubt, under a different regime there will be monuments, streets, schools & lecture halls named after this illustrious Ugandan. Happy birthday, KB.

Why a transitional cabinet is urgent In the next few days, Museveni will be swearing in. But there is nervousness everywhere – including inside NRM, Museveni family. Consider PLU (They aren’t a joke): "Powerfully captured in their self-nickname – standby generator – is the fact that all are looking at Museveni with absolute nervousness. They are sure soon or later, the country may find itself in a blackout. Thus, the standby generator ought to roar into action immediately – thus, that ugly nickname they have proudly embraced..."

For years @garyyounge has been a role model for me as a Black writer: responsible but not beholden; substantial as well as symbolic; sympathetic but not pandering; political but not proscriptive. I am excited to speak to him about CHASING FREEDOM Tickets tinyurl.com/4hkyhrwf

The editors at @editors_guild had just emailed her back comments about an upcoming pamphlet she had written. This is very heartbreaking. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Earlier today, I tried a little discourse analysis of the language choices of the top contenders for the position of speaker – Nobert Mao and Anita Among. there'll be signs: “bedroom” and “compound,” “refugees” and “guests,” “adopted children.” Indeed, words, words, words – be they madness, but there is method to it.

To mark the recent passing of Rupert Roopnaraine, one of Walter Rodney’s closest comrades in the WPA of Guyana, ROAPE’s @LeoZeilig delivers an honest obituary reflecting on his life, political commitments, and the complexities of his legacy. roape.net/2026/03/27/rup…

To mark the birth of Walter Rodney (23 March 1942), we share an article from ROAPE’s special issue 186 on Frantz Fanon by @chinchukwudinma and @baindukallon examining the shifting imprint of The Wretched of the Earth on Rodney’s anti-imperialism. roape.net/2026/03/23/the…

Iran exposes the enormous mis-education of the African mind. We have been so dangerously mis-educated: western spin – via Hollywood, Netflix, CNN, BBC – and a neoliberal curriculum that privileges STEM over the arts have done immense damage. How will we liberate ourselves?

UPDATE: The criminal regime yesterday paraded before the Police Court, nine of the police officers who were assigned to our campaign! They were all dismissed from the Uganda Police Force with disgrace. Their crime? "Neglect of Duty". The criminal regime claims that they assisted me in escaping from my own home. Crazy! And yet, in fact, these professional police officers were withdrawn on 15th January, which was election day. By the time I left my home on the 16th when the military raided, they were no longer on duty. But now, they're being hounded, persecuted, and punished because the regime can not live with the embarrassment of not being able to locate me for two months. They're looking for anyone to blame. In any event, these officers were deployed to protect me and not to spy on me. But this is what Museveni has turned all institutions into! He expects them to do everything illegal, criminal, or immoral to sustain his criminal enterprise. Choosing to act professionally has landed very many civil servants in trouble. We understand that in addition to being dismissed, officer Kigenyi and another were taken back to detention at the police station at the Railway grounds and are still being interrogated! UGANDA WILL BE FREE. For now, we stand in solidarity with these officers, who, like many other Ugandans, have had to taste the wrath of a desperate regime in its evening. #FreeUgandaNow

Dear decolonial scholars, It is possible to see Iran (IRGC, QUDS Force, Ayatollah Khamenei) as modern day Mau-Mau, FRELIMO, Umkhonto we Sizwe, Maji-Maji Rebellion, Angola’s MPLA & FNLA, Zim's ZANU, ZAPU, India’s INC, the Seyyid of Somalia. BUT more sophisticated – performing commendably – than those who came before them. Dealing with a more advanced, more aggressive colonizer. See, the people who forced structural adjustment on us, reclaimed ownership of our resources, and thereby rolled back all our gains of independence, are the same bombing Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan. The language is different but the interests are all the same: natural resources, land, no resistance at all.

Stephen Kinzer dedicated this book "to the people of Iran." Written in 2003, he flags "The Folly of Attacking Iran," telling the pains past attacks (esp. 1953 coup) & the misguidedness future attacks. Dear Ugandans, this book is available in shops around Kampala. Save yourselves.

WHAT SHE BUILT #LettersWeNeverSent muwado.com/what-she-built… via @muwado @editors_guild @ccgea1 @cwfcreatives #GenderJusticeUg #HerMoneyHerPower In Uganda, cultural expectations often force young women to prioritize family financial support over their own independence and goals.
