[QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30724, member: 2262"] A decades-old mapping controversy has reignited public tensions across Uganda. A disputed graphic has sparked widespread debate about regional representation and cultural identity. Digital platforms and media channels have amplified discussions surrounding a map that historically omitted the Buganda region's name, despite the issue seemingly being resolved years earlier. Social media content creators have fueled speculation about potential rifts between key political and cultural leaders, transforming an outdated cartographic error into a contemporary national conversation. The resurfaced map, created to display child vaccination data, triggered passionate responses from citizens and influential figures alike across multiple communication platforms. Uganda Bureau of Statistics officials have repeatedly sought to defuse the situation, returning to Mengo's Bulange headquarters to reassert their commitment to transparency and national unity. Acting deputy executive director Dr. Vincent Fred Sseneno led a delegation that emphasized the map's unintentional nature and reaffirmed Buganda's integral place within Uganda's national framework. Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga addressed public concerns directly, dismissing the controversy as a distraction from meaningful developmental work. He stressed that Buganda remains fundamental to Uganda's historical and contemporary landscape, urging citizens to reject narratives designed to sow division. As a goodwill gesture, Ubos donated funds toward the upcoming Kabaka's charity event. [/QUOTE]
