NUP Chief Mobilizer Nyanzi Ssentamu blasted his son James Church Hill for posing with President Museveni at Makerere University. The photo was taken on Tuesday during the Research and Innovation Week, where Museveni showed up as the chief guest. As guild president, Church Hill had to welcome the president and snap pictures with him after the event. Social media went crazy, with users attacking Church Hill for cozying up to his family's "tormentor"—some even calling him a "government project."
Nyanzi went ballistic in a recorded video, saying the pics made Ugandans furious. He ranted that Museveni is a murderer with blood-stained hands who tried to kill him recently and targeted his brother Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine). Nyanzi claimed...
Uganda Registration Services Bureau just launched UGYouth4IP, a flashy new program trying to hook young people on intellectual property rights. The youth-focused campaign wants to make IP cool for personal success and national growth. Youth Minister Dr. Balaam Barugahara kicked off the event at URSB headquarters with a fancy ceremony about "unlocking youth potential." The program targets university students, young lawyers, content creators, and URSB staff to help them protect their brilliant ideas.
Minister Barugahara praised URSB for starting this program at just the right time. He called youth a "reservoir of creativity" that needs tools to protect innovations and make money. The Minister pointed out that 78% of Ugandans are under 30...
Gen. Wilson Mbadi launched the Uganda-Tanzania Trade Mission in Kampala on Tuesday, pushing forward plans from their May business forum. Both countries promised last year to boost trade, increase investments, and smash barriers blocking the free movement of goods, services, and money. Mbadi bragged about the East African Crude Oil Pipeline project that will rake in $20 billion, create tons of jobs, and supercharge energy and telecom sectors. He claimed Uganda remains dead-set on making business easier with lower costs and better market access.
Uganda's man in Tanzania, Col. Fred Mwesigye, boasted that trade between the countries exploded to $2.23 billion this year, up from $1.36 billion in 2023. Ugandan exports like cement, sugar...
AFC/M23 rebels in eastern Congo just laid out their demands before they'll talk peace with the government. These tough guys want President Tshisekedi to announce that he wants direct negotiations publicly. They also demand the cancellation of that 2022 crackdown order from parliament, plus they want all death sentences against their leaders scrapped. The armed group insists that prisoners linked to them must be freed immediately - especially those arrested just for looking like them or speaking their language.
The rebels claim people who speak Swahili or Kinyarwanda face hate speech, oppression, and cannibalism - yes, actual cannibalism! They demand an end to these attacks. They also want a formal ceasefire signed before any talks...
President Museveni showed up at Makerere University for their Research Week, where he checked out student projects before giving a speech. He blasted Africans for having an inferiority complex that made them easy targets for colonizers despite being smart enough to solve their problems. The Prez praised university kids for their awesome inventions, saying it proves Uganda's brainpower is finally waking up. He defended giving 70% of government cash to scientists instead of artists because - duh - Shakespeare can't cure sick people! He promised that current innovation funding was just "a sip" with more cash coming later.
The First Lady couldn't make it but sent a message calling Makerere a "beacon of knowledge" across Africa. She pushed...
South Sudan begged America to take back its harsh decision to cancel all South Sudanese passports because of problems with one Congolese deportee. The big-shot vice president, Benjamin Bol Mel, expressed regret about refusing entry to Kintu Makula. South Sudan claimed this punishment hurt thousands of innocent citizens who followed American rules. The blanket ban came after immigration officials denied entry to a deportee despite their Washington embassy approving emergency travel papers.
South Sudan finally caved under diplomatic pressure Monday, agreeing to let the Congolese man enter after earlier accusing America of forcing him on them. Officials originally blocked him at Juba airport, claiming his travel document was fake. During...
Ex-Congo boss Joseph Kabila just shocked everyone - he's coming back home after hiding away for years! He posted online, saying he'd enter the country through dangerous eastern territories because the nation needed him. This bombshell drops amid massive unrest across the country, especially in eastern regions where armed gangs terrorize locals. Kabila ran the show from 2001 to 2019 before handing the reins to Félix Tshisekedi but stayed a behind-the-scenes power player.
These two bigshots absolutely hate each other these days. Kabila accuses Tshisekedi of stealing elections, human rights abuses, and massive corruption. Tshisekedi fires back, claiming Kabila secretly backs rebel fighters like the feared M23 group responsible for brutal...

He heaped praise on Makerere students for their cool inventions, saying Ugandan academics had finally woken up from their long nap.
Museveni defended giving 70% of government cash to scientists instead of arts, saying bluntly that Shakespeare can't heal dying people. He promised the current research money was just a taste of...
Big-shot Ugandan army boss Lt. Gen Kayanja Muhanga just wrapped up his three-day trip checking on troops in Somalia! He swooped in to see how soldiers were holding up against those nasty Al-Shabaab fighters.
The general strutted around Mogadishu, telling everyone this visit was just his regular check-up to fire up the troops. He bragged about how Ugandan forces crushed those ADF rebels in Congo—they're not a headache for Uganda anymore! The big boss promised the higher-ups would keep looking after career paths, soldier welfare, and making sure deserving troops moved up the ranks.
When Muhanga stopped at the UN Guard Unit, he praised the soldiers for staying disciplined and working hard. He lectured them about staying healthy—both in...
