Prevention must be Uganda’s first line of defence against cancer: evidence indicates that 37% of new cancer cases worldwide in 2022 were linked to preventable causes, including tobacco, alcohol, cancer-causing infections, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, excess body weight, air pollution and occupational exposures.
A loud conversation on X can feel like a national verdict. But Uganda’s online crowd is far smaller—and far less representative—than our timelines make it seem.
More importantly, copyright should not only benefit an artist during the peak of their career.
That is where the relationship between President Museveni and Oyo becomes different. For nearly three decades, the President did not simply know a King. He knew the little boy behind the crown. He was part of the circle entrusted with protecting him at the beginning of his reign, and lived to see that child grow into a man who carried the responsibilities of the Tooro throne.
Carbon markets can bring investment into communities and landscapes that have long struggled to attract finance. But they can also create expectations before any money has been earned. That is why registration matters
Uganda has the framework and the ambition; now it needs the will to educate the whole child: head, hands, heart and feet.
King Oyo planted ten million trees and protected two hundred kilometres of river, and asked for nothing in return. The truest way Tooro can mourn him is not with words, but by making sure that when our own children ask why the hills are green and the river still runs clean, the answer is still: because of him and because we never stopped.
The next generations shouldn’t inherit Buganda, just in name. They should inherit the rich culture, heritage and traditions that define the Kingdom. Collaboration remains a key enabler in these efforts.
When a journalist asked Ali whether he would assist the former president, Idi Amin, to return home from exile in Saudi Arabia, he answered: “That is his problem if he wants to return. I have too many things to do. I do not have time to think for him. I did not even meet him while in Saudi the other day.” Five months after Ali made those comments, Amin died while still in exile in Saudi Arabia and is buried there. Therefore, Amin died before he reconciled with his former finance minister, Ali.
Stop vetting potential partners like you are hiring for a corporate board; you are choosing a partner for a long road trip. You need to experience the person before you declare them the best lover. You have to keep pushing through long stretches of mental and physical strain, even when you are tired, frustrated or doubting the outcome. The couples that succeed are not necessarily the ones who had it easy, but those who kept fighting for the love, day after day.
Amin’s message to Ali was ordering them to travel to Malire Barracks and monitor the activities of pro-Obote soldiers. Ali and Doka hastily went to the Officers’ Mess (now Buganda Katikkiro’s residence, Butikkiro) and found that officers perceived to be anti-Obote were practically under arrest, waiting for an address from the commanding officer of Malire, Lt Col Augustino Akwangu. Exiting from the Officers’ Mess, Ali fooled the military guards that he was sent to deliver a note to Akwangu.
Our marriage failure is not a sudden, unexplained illness. We know the causes, but still hope they will stop at the neighbour’s. Meanwhile, we spend all our energy trying to fix marriages that were fundamentally broken before they even began. It is like trying to turn a single-story house into a skyscraper without adjusting the foundation.
Among and Namujju joined Parliament at the same time and, therefore, became the best of friends. Namujju used to visit Among, and they chatted inside Among’s lavish bedroom. During their chats, they disclosed to each other their wealth, investment plans, marriage issues and future political plans.
At the beginning of 2003, Matembe revealed her New Year’s resolution, stating: “I want to get closer to God so that He can control my life.” During that year, she, along with fellow ministers, Bidandi Ssali, Eriya Kategaya and Sarah Kiyingi, vehemently opposed the scrapping of presidential term limits from the 1995 Constitution. Her stand put her at conflict with those who wanted term limits scrapped for Museveni to vie again for presidency in 2006.
Men aren’t emotionally fortified to handle their wives’ adultery; it carries strong connotations of shame, ridicule and emasculation. In some societies, a man whose wife cheats is deemed sexually weak, powerless and unworthy of respect. Men cannot comprehend a wife who cheats, gets pregnant, deceives them on paternity, continues to deliver the baby and bring it into a man’s brood.
Soon after Besigye’s election petition was dismissed, Lukwago served as the attorney of Besigye’s partner, Winnie Byanyima, when she was charged with sedition before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate, Catherine Bamugemeire, on April 17, 2001.
According to Lubega, Ugandans are employed in sectors such as education, healthcare, engineering, mechanics, transport and entrepreneurship, reducing direct competition with locals in low-skilled jobs that often become flashpoints during anti-immigrant campaigns.
For East Africa, these disruptions have tested the resilience of economies where trade contributes at least 50% of GDP in Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet disruption is also accelerating investment in regional trade, alternative corridors, digital trade systems and intra-African market integration.
Much as Among received and appreciated financial donations from Ekemu, Nandala and Kajeke, she pushed for a largely strategic friendship with Michael Kabaziguruka upon realising that he was closer to Besigye than her aforesaid male friends in FDC.
But if you have been playing the encyclopedia role of a spouse, your partner will put up a fight to reclaim their space before giving up. And when they give up, you may never recover them intact. So, how can you schedule your spouse before you schedule the Speaker?
