It has become a painful reality in West Nile that true unity among our people often reveals itself only in moments of loss. When a son or daughter of West Nile passes on, the community gathers in large numbers, transcending political divides, religious differences, and even personal grudges. In those moments of mourning, there is solidarity, compassion, and an outpouring of love. But this begs a sobering question, Why do we only come together in death? Why must we wait for the grave before we embrace peace, togetherness, and love? Why is it so difficult for us to show that same unity when our people are alive, striving, and contributing to the growth of our region? Across West Nile, too much energy is wasted on acrimony and unnecessary petty petty rivalries. Leaders spend more time fighting one another than building bridges. Followers are often dragged into divisions, cheering on conflicts that hold the entire region back. Talented men and women are discouraged, not because they lack a...

                     By Anguzu Vincent The National Resistance Movement (NRM) may have concluded its party primaries, but the storm is far from over. Across the country, the primaries were marred by widespread complaints, ranging from vote rigging, voter intimidation and outright manipulation of results. The legitimacy of several outcomes is being heavily contested by the aspirants who lost, with numerous petitions lodged by aggrieved aspirants who claim the process was neither free nor fair. Far from that, what is even more alarming is the toxic and acrimonious nature of the campaigns among the contesting camps, which have deeply fractured the party at the grassroots level. In many constituencies, the relationship between winners and losers is irreparably damaged, making unity behind the party flag bearers a distant dream. Those who lost are unlikely to rally behind those they believe were unfairly declared winners. Instead, a surg...

Citizens of the World, my names are: General (Rtd) Yoweri Museveni of the Resistance Movement of Uganda and President of Uganda. I am also Chairman of the NAM until 2027. The other day, I saw a Complaint by the Iranian Ambassador to Uganda as to why we have not commented on the tragic situation in the Middle East. It is true that we have not yet externalized our long-held views on that situation. Good enough, we have got good relations with both Israel and Iran, not to forget the United States of America and the other Countries of the World. In our long history of resistance, we abhor chauvinism of identity (race, tribe, religion, etc) or gender (looking down upon women). We always stand for the politics of interests interests of the stake - holders. legitimate With that outlook, we have noticed and told most of the concerned actors, the following mistake makers: (1) The first group that we have interacted with and told, are the Iranian Islamists. Whenever I visit Iran, like when His E...
