Yadah Stars has faced huge problems since FIFA banned them from signing new players. The team still owes money to three Brazilian players who played for them before. When they play Chicken Inn, they'll have just one player on the bench. Last time, they had two extra players, but the refs kicked out Anotidaishe Gwatidzo with a red card.
The squad already lost their first game 1-0 to Manica Diamonds. Rumor has it they sent FIFA some of the $82,000 they need to pay, but they must live with these hard rules until they clear their debt completely.
Women leaders spoke out against recent election violence at Kawempe North. The Forum for Women in Democracy said Thursday that fights during campaigns make women stay away from politics. This hurts democracy because fewer voices help make decisions.
Former opposition leader Winnie Kiiza explained that violence stops women from running for office. She said rough campaigns crush the spirit of women who might want to enter politics. These barriers keep women from places where important choices happen for the country.
The group responded after security forces attacked National Unity Platform members during a local election. These attacks raise fears about what might happen when Uganda votes again during national elections planned for...
Uganda recently joined the Fund for Export Development in Africa, known as FEDA. This investment organization belongs to the African Export-Import Bank. FEDA exists because Africa faces huge gaps in equity financing. The official joining happened Thursday when representatives signed papers at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Kampala.
FEDA mainly gives money to companies that help trade between African countries. It also supports businesses that develop exports or make products within Africa. Ambassador Phillip Rukikaire signed the papers for Uganda. He mentioned that this partnership shows how Africans can solve their economic problems themselves. He called it just the beginning of working together toward shared goals.
Africa has many...
President Museveni spoke at a special event today about his friend Eriya Kategaya. He called Kategaya the first person who pushed for loving Uganda above everything else in politics. Kategaya worked as the First Deputy Prime Minister and handled East African Community Affairs until he passed away on March 2, 2013, exactly twelve years ago. Museveni brought his wife Janet along to the ceremony at Kololo.
Museveni really respected how Kategaya stuck to his beliefs about putting Uganda first. He warned everyone that politics based on which group you belong to hurts the country badly. Back during the sixties, Kategaya noticed big problems with political parties UPC, DP and Kabaka Yekka because they focused on identity instead of nation...
Lawmakers from all sides teamed up Thursday against the government report about election troubles in Kawempe North.

The European guy who speaks for all those countries across the ocean dropped by to chat with Uganda's top military man today. Jan Sadek represents the European Union here and he sat down with General Muhoozi Kainerugaba at the special forces base outside the city. These two important figures talked about keeping everyone safe throughout this part of Africa. The meeting happened because both sides care about peace nearby.

Kenya sent its top guy to smooth things over with Uganda after a newspaper mess. Joash Maangi headed straight to see General Muhoozi Kainerugaba today. He brought Colonel Patrick Kaduda and other important Kenya embassy folks along. They met at military headquarters in Entebbe, where everyone talked things through face-to-face.
Uganda brought some big shots as well. Brigadier General Paul Namawa showed up with Colonel Christopher Muwumba hanging right beside the General. Ambassador Maangi thanked General Kainerugaba for making time to hear what they came to say. The Standard newspaper from Kenya had printed something pretty nasty about the General recently.
The Kenya team made sure to tell everyone their government never approved that...

The White Army tribal fighters say they have no ties to First Vice President Riek Machar or his SPLA-opposition forces. These Nuer militia members defeated government troops last weekend in Nasir near the Ethiopian border. They killed several soldiers from the national army and took others as prisoners before they took control of the entire town.
This attack created fear in the capital city of Juba. Government officials blamed SPLA-IO for helping these tribal fighters succeed. Information Minister Michael Makuei played a recording for reporters Wednesday claiming the White Army shouted pro-SPLA-IO slogans during their attack. The militia strongly denied these claims through a public statement.
They made their position clear about...
