Christmas happened, and everyone gave their two cents. The holiday has Christians globally looking back at old prophecies about a virgin birth and a savior called Immanuel, which they say points directly to Jesus. Ugandan leaders, like everyone else, used the season to push their own messages. President Yoweri Museveni gave a speech hyping national projects, name-dropping the electric buses from Kiira EV that drove to South Africa and the new Hoima City Stadium built for the AFCON 2027 tournament by a Turkish company, Summa.

Other big names chimed in with their holiday thoughts. The Education Minister, Janet Museveni, called that stadium a Christmas gift for the country. Meanwhile, on the local level in Kampala, a boda boda rider's chairman named Kanyike Kivir told his guys to lay off the booze and drive safely. A bunch of other politicians and the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Mutebi, also sent out notes, with the Kabanda specifically asking for kids to be protected during this busy season. Underneath all the official talk, the core idea remains the same old story about hope and light in a pretty messed-up world.
