President Museveni, You are wrong on Rice in Uganda
Dear Your Excellency, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Happy New Year to you and your family. This is going to be a long read but I request that you get a cup of Obushera, sit in your compound under your favorite tent and take time to read what I have penned down. I would like to point out some mindset adulteration you have fallen victim of to condemn the rice production and its producers in…

Uganda Votes on New Anti-LGBT Law
Uganda Votes on New Anti-LGBT Law
Uganda has another anti-LGBT bill in the works, despite same-sex relations already being heavily illegal in the conservative East African nation. In 2014, Ugandan lawmakers, under the urging of a few American lobbyists, passed a bill that imposed life imprisonment as a sentence for people convicted of having gay sex. This was toned down from its original writing, which called for the death…

Uganda is Africa's most homophobic country. And the hatred unleashed there by the government and extremist religious groups has led to violence.
A prominent Ugandan LGBTQ+ activist is in a critical condition after he was stabbed on his way to work on Wednesday by unknown assailants on a motorbike.
Steven Kabuye, 25, suffered knife wounds and was left for dead in the assault on the outskirts of the capital Kampala before being found by local residents, police said. Human rights defenders have been warning about the risk of attacks on members of the LGBTQ+ community after Uganda last year adopted what is considered one of the harshest anti-gay laws in the world. Kabuye told detectives investigating the incident that he had been receiving death threats, according to a statement issued by police spokesperson Patrick Onyango. “According to Mr Kabuye, two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle, wearing helmets, approached him. The passenger jumped off and attacked him, specifically targeting his neck with a knife,” Onyango said. “Kabuye managed to shield his neck with his right arm, resulting in a stab wound to his hand. Despite attempting to flee, the assailants chased and stabbed him in the stomach and left him for dead,” he said, adding that local residents had found him and taken him to a medical clinic.
You can in certain instances get the death penalty for being gay in Uganda. The assailants probably felt it was their duty to try to murder Steven Kabuye.
In May last year, Uganda adopted anti-gay legislation containing provisions making “aggravated homosexuality” a potentially capital offence and setting out penalties for consensual same-sex relations of up to life in prison. Homosexuality has long been illegal in Uganda under a colonial-era law criminalising sexual activity “against the order of nature”, with life imprisonment possible for a conviction. The new law added further offences and punishments. Kabuye had posted on X that he was deeply concerned about the consequences of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023. “This law violates basic human rights and sets a dangerous precedent for discrimination and persecution against the LGBTQ+ community. Let us stand together in solidarity and fight against bigotry and hate,” he wrote.
Uganda is a good place to avoid even if locals just think you are LGBTQ+.
Uganda's homophobic President Yoweri Museveni seized power in January of 1986. That's so long ago that the Space Shuttle Challenger was still intact when he began his reign as de facto president for life. According to the journal Foreign Policy, Museveni may be looking to turn Uganda into a North Korea-style monarchy without crowns.
Politics in Uganda has become a parable of dynastic decay. For 37 years, President Yoweri Museveni has ruled with a supporting cast of relatives, army officers, and hangers-on. They see themselves as the only ones capable of running the country—and have profited handsomely from doing so. Museveni has twice had the constitution rewritten to remove limits on his rule. But he is now 78, and he cannot rewrite biology. Enter his 49-year-old son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba: a hard-drinking, trash-tweeting soldier who considers himself “the most handsome General on earth.” After a rapid promotion through the army ranks, Kainerugaba says he wants to run for president at the next election in 2026.
Uganda is part of the corrupt Axis of Homophobia which includes Russia and Iran. It deserves the same opprobrium which is directed at those decrepit régimes.

By indirectly causing instability in the locations where coltan is found in surplus in the DRC, Rwanda has managed to siphon billions of dollars worth of the valuable mineral to attract foreign investment over the years. Despite the Rwandan government denying all claims, the UN has presented conclusive evidence of the state funding the M23, and continuing to spill Congolese blood on Congolese soil without remorse.
Ruth Mudingayi in Africa Is A Country. Congo beyond the hashtags
While social media has amplified calls for social justice in long-ignored parts of the world, it should only be the beginning of our activism.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CONGO?

Bobi Wine: The People's President Against All Odds and Regimes
Imagine your own government trying to muzzle and stifle your voice for fear of change @natgeo #bobiwine #documentaries
History has proven if we don’t correct atrocities the first time, they are doomed to repeat. Just here in America, we have seen our country go from a place of supposed liberty and justice for all to land I hardly recognize. Women and basic human rights are being challenged and some are attempting to rewrite history. Imagine living in a country where you literally can be intimidated, beaten and…

Pepe Onziema, human rights advocate. May 31, 2023, Democracy Now!
So, as much as I welcome President Biden’s condemnation, I think there needs to be a lot of work done back home within the United States to make sure that these, you know, exporters of hate into a country like Uganda — because Uganda seems to be geographically positioned for, you know, for these people to come into our country and to test everything negative that they want to test in our country. So, that needs to be stopped from the backyard in the United States before it comes this side.
