Court Smashes ULS Power Grab in Shocking Leadership Fallout
A judge named Ssekaana Musa made some important choices about how lawyers work together in Uganda. He said some people did wrong things when they fired important leaders at the Uganda Law Society.

US Funds Uganda LGBT Shift as Barr Slams Biden Moves
A person named Andy Barr, who helps make rules in America, feels upset about how his country spends money in Uganda. He learned that America gave lots of money, about 20 billion Ugandan shillings, to change what people in Uganda think about LGBT people. Andy Barr talked to other important people yesterday about this money. He said Uganda helps America fight bad people called Al-Shabaab in Somalia. But America made things hard for Uganda because Uganda made a law that LGBT people did not like. America did many things to show it was unhappy with Uganda. It stopped letting Uganda sell things easily to America, refused to let some people from Uganda visit America, and even told a big bank to stop giving money to Uganda. Andy Barr found...

M23 Rebels Seize Kavumu Airport in South Kivu Coup
Some angry fighters called M23 have taken over a very important airport near Bukavu in Congo. This airport helps both army planes and normal planes bring food and important things to people. The M23 fighters said they captured the airport because they thought it was dangerous to people living nearby. Their leader, Lawrence Kanyuka, told everyone on Friday that his group controls the airport and all the area around it. This makes things very difficult for Congo's army. They needed this airport to send help and supplies to their soldiers. The army could not easily protect Bukavu anymore because the airport was really important for bringing in more soldiers and the things they needed. Many people feel scared that the M23 fighters might...
Uganda golf scandal alunga drops out as cwinya-ai grabs slot
People love talking about whether Uganda will send anyone to play in the big golf game called the Magical Kenya Open.

Frailty Fury as Besigye Strikes Hunger in Jail Battle
Dr. Kizza Besigye, a brave man who speaks up against unfair things in Uganda, looks very sick. His friends and family feel worried after seeing him in court last Friday.

Dr. Besigye couldn't come to court on Wednesday because he felt unwell. He wrote a small note telling the judge he was sick. When he finally came to court on Friday, everyone saw how weak he looked. His lawyer, Mr. Lukwago...
