The new week is here! Are you wondering what is happening on social media today? Here are the top trending topics in Uganda.

1. Makerere University
Everyone seems to be giving their opinion about the strikes and brutality at Makerere University. Unlike the usual strikes, everything about this strike is peculiar. From the strike being dominated by girls to students being brutalized and some female students allegedly being raped.
