Uganda's President Museveni met with officials from South Sudan and the Central African Republic at Fort Portal State Lodge. They discussed building a 1,100-kilometer road to link their countries. This road would help trade between areas that don't trade much right now. The leaders praised each other for tackling problems with roads and safety. They also reviewed what happened in earlier talks about the Bangu-Kampala road in March 2025.
The group agreed on where the road would go through all three countries. They decided to build the road in steps, starting with simple fixes like gravel and bridge repairs. Later steps will add paved surfaces to gravel roads and fix existing paved roads. They plan to raise money together for this trade...
Kabale District Chairperson Nelson Nshangabasheija asked President Museveni to step in because the NRM party faces problems. He said powerful party members hurt regular supporters during the recent elections. These leaders team up with security groups to attack other members.

Niwanganyira said his replacement is related to Bahati. Another official named Champion Baker said people feel scared during party voting. He warned that this might cause trouble if leaders keep acting this way.

The African Union makes its choices about who attends from its side. Just because someone sits at a meeting does not mean the EU views them as official...
