The president is sending his critics straight to hell over economic complaints. Yoweri Museveni sharpened his campaign rhetoric this Wednesday, telling a crowd at Makerere University Business School that people claiming his NRM party did nothing for Uganda deserve eternal punishment. He framed the upcoming January 15th election as a verdict on his government's economic legacy.
Museveni defended the NRM record by pointing to a shift from imported goods. He stated supermarkets now stock sixty-five percent Ugandan-made products, a reversal from earlier times. He called critics dishonest hypocrites, using strong religious language for emphasis.
He said Jesus had problems with Pharisees, comparing them to whitewashed graves hiding rot...
KCCA's title hype just got a reality check from some cops with a football team. Police FC shut them down 2-0 this Wednesday at their Kira Road Arena in Kamwokya, completely halting KCCA's post AFCON momentum. The first half was a cautious slog with barely any real action. Everything changed after halftime.
Brian Obedi smashed in a volley to open the scoring in the 52nd minute. Denis Kalanzi set it up with a neat headed pass. Police kept the pressure on and found a second goal later. Kalanzi was involved again, looping a header over the keeper for Bedia Ikamba to tap home.
The loss marks only the second defeat this season for KCCA. Their first was against Vipers SC. This result throws a major wrench into their championship aspirations...
Tiny Croatian town drops nine million euros on a mega sports complex. Rovišće, a municipality barely an hour from Zagreb, is using a huge chunk of EU funds to build what they are calling a sport and recreation centre, a project set to become their civic crown jewel. The mayor, Slavko Prišćan, broke the news this week.
The plan includes a 21-room hotel and a multipurpose sports hall. That hall is pitched for indoor football matches and also wedding receptions. A full-sized football pitch with artificial turf is part of the package. There will also be a swimming pool, a kiddie pool, and two paddle courts.
Prišćan framed the entire thing as a massive jobs and tourism play. He said it would draw visitors from across Croatia and even other...
Croatia's wealth gap just slapped the whole EU in the face with new data. Turns out Zagreb is basically a prosperity island while the eastern farmlands are getting demolished. Fresh 2024 numbers from the EU stats agency show the capital jumped into the top fifteen richest regions, but Pannonian Croatia sits in the absolute basement at number 218 out of 244.
Zagreb's mayor, Tomislav Tomasevic, was pretty hype about it. He bragged about how the city snagged some European diversity title in 2024. His whole thing was about social cohesion during global chaos, claiming their policies actually work.
Then you glance at the rest of the country. The north does okay, but coastal Adriatic Croatia is way down the list. The real nightmare is...
Croatia's trying to flex hard this year with robotaxis and economic glow-ups. The government's 2026 checklist is kinda wild. Prime Minister Andrej Plenković is pushing for that OECD membership and talking up living standards. They are obsessed with keeping that A credit rating. For businesses, the year started with Fiscalisation 2.0 kicking in, a new tax system forcing all B2B invoices into a digital format. The promise is less paperwork, but everyone just groans about another compliance headache.
Tourism is riding a high from last year's record numbers. Over 21 million tourists visited a few months back. The minister, Tonči Glavina, wants price stability and is banking on a new hospitality law by summer to crack down on unregistered...
Uganda tossed cash at its artists, promising change, but everyone's side-eyeing the deal. Minister Peace Mutuuzo just laid out an update on that 28 billion shilling creative fund launched a few months back, aiming to fix the sector's endless money problems.
The fund splits cash between musicians, copyright stuff, and nine other creative fields. Loans go for a low five percent interest, targeting folks usually ignored by banks.
Musicians get cash through their federation's SACCOs. Other creators use verified co-ops for film, fashion, comedy, and more.
Over fifteen SACCOs are already signed up, from filmmaker groups to a northern arts foundation. The minister claims 9.5 billion has moved already to partners and collecting societies.

Politicians are risking electrocution for clout. Uganda's power company called out campaign teams yesterday for a seriously dumb trend. People have been taping flags and posters onto live wires and transformers, all for visibility. The Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited issued a sharp warning after social media evidence piled up.
Their corporate affairs guy, Jonan Kiiza, spelled out the obvious danger. He said these stunts threaten both the idiots doing it and entire neighborhoods. Contact with energized lines can cause fatal electrocution or trigger massive blackouts. This isn't just reckless, it's actually illegal under the Electricity Act.
The company pointed directly to Section 87 of the law. Placing materials on...
The whole election might hinge on a paperwork typo. Yesterday, the Kampala High Court decided to ghost everyone, announcing its verdict on a nomination fight would drop via email. The case involves opposition NUP candidate Ivan Bwowe challenging the legitimacy of seven rivals. He claims they were nominated for a constituency called Nakawa West, a name that does not officially exist.
Bwowe insists the only real electoral area is Nakawa Division West. His legal team showed up expecting new arguments, only to be told the judge was done hearing things. Lawyer Erias Nalukoola said they left empty-handed, just waiting for the digital ruling to hit their inboxes. Bwowe wants all seven competing nominations thrown out as illegal.
He seeks a...
Some ex-candidate just trashed Uganda's entire opposition movement. Henry Tumukunde, from his home in Rukungiri Municipality, blasted rival leaders as inconsistent, ideologically weak, and allegedly backed by the government they claim to fight.
The former security minister lost to Museveni years ago. He reflected on his own political journey during a briefing. Tumukunde argued he knows opposition politics better than current figures.
He stated real opposition requires personal sacrifice. Many current leaders reportedly lack this resilience entirely. Voters can easily tell genuine actors from opportunists.
A key claim involved hidden government support for certain politicians. This secret backing would completely compromise their...
