President Museveni told army officers at Karama training school to protect Uganda from tribal politics. The Commander spoke Tuesday at State House Entebbe about Africa's colonial history. European powers controlled the continent because African leaders stayed weak and divided. Museveni warned against identity politics that splits communities apart across the nation. Officers must focus on bringing different groups together for national progress.

Lands Minister Hamat NK Bah says proper land papers help the country grow stronger. He spoke Tuesday at Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara Conference Center about the first National Land Policy. World Bank money supports the workshop through the West Africa coast project. Bah wants courts and government to stop people from stealing land illegally. Legal land titles help farmers and businesses borrow money for expansion.
Most court cases deal with land fights between different people. Bah says 70 to 80 percent of all court problems involve land disputes. Rich people often fence off land without permission from authorities. The new policy creates heavy taxes to stop this bad behavior. Poor land use hurts peace and stops development across the...
