📖| Entre réduction des aides et poussée xénophobe, que reste-t-il de la politique ougandaise d’accueil des réfugiés ? #LeRubicon fais un retour sur la politique ougandaise d’accueil des réfugiés, souvent présentée comme modèle, alors que le pays a été marqué par la répression des oppositions et la réélection de Museveni lors des présidentielles de janvier et que des ONG dénoncent la suspension de leurs activités par les autorités du pays. Retrouvez l’analyse de Yotam Gidron, chercheur postdoctoral au département d’Anthropologie sociale et culturelle de la KU Leuven et Kristof Titeca (@kristoftiteca), professeur à l’Institut de politique de développement (université d’Anvers) et chercheur associé senior à l’institut Egmont., sur #LeRubicon. lerubicon.org/entre-reductio…

Another Day, Kampala Uganda

This pop article is so frustrating because, through sloppy data presentations, they inadvertently undermine their argument. This after so much careful meticulous work has been done for decades to demonstrate the devastating effects of SAPs in the 80s & 90s. A LONG annoyed🧵

Couldn't agree more - @Katumbabadru1 lives, breathes - and most importantly photographs Kampala's streets

It was a pleasure and an honor to speak about the DRC with @christiangeraud on the @AfricaProg podcast #AfricaAware last week! Thanks to Lisa Musumba and Romane Dideberg for a stimulating conversation linking politics, the peace process, and geopolitical dynamics in #DRC.

Interesting thread on Uganda-Israel relations below 👇 One addition: when Netanyahu visited Uganda in 2016, President Museveni kept referring to Israel as Palestine in his speech: youtube.com/watch?v=rkM9xB…

🇺🇬 In a flurry of posts on X, Uganda’s military chief Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, now well-known for firing off wild statements he later deletes or apologizes for, weighed in on the Iran war. He stood in solidarity with Israel and suggested Uganda could enter the war if Israel faces defeat. “If Tehran dares hit us with missiles, we shall retaliate with our own missiles,” he added, saying Israel “only need ask” for support from “their Ugandan brothers.” He said any attempt to “destroy or defeat Israel” would bring Uganda “into the war… on the side of Israel,” and separately offered his take on Cuba, claiming an “colonialist” or “imperialist” attack there would mark “the beginning of World War 3.” In a separate, now-deleted post on X, General Kainerugaba added that Israel and the US could have taken Tehran “in 72 hours,” and without bombing, had they sought Uganda’s help: “But of course they never listen to a black man.”

Uganda asked for removal of Ituri governor, DRC said no. That's the genesis of this issue. africaintelligence.com/central-africa…

It was the biggest massacre for decades - 10,000 Sudanese killed over two days. The international community knew genocide was inevitable. Why and how did it happen? Huge thanks to @Sihanet @ikhlassahmed77 @nattyray11 @KholoodKhair theguardian.com/global-develop…

Significant piece that foregrounds the anti-LGBT alliance between American and West African groups as political advocacy with public health risks. Welcome framing that looks beyond identity politics.
