This is all a lot more complicated than it seems and these DRC/Rwanda/Uganda confluct threads need to be read with the counterpoint of corrections and observations kindly provided by @DecaymanR who is from Rwanda and knows this stuff.
@DecaymanR It is all very peculiar nonetheless.

This was the trigger.

Remarks by the DRC President on Monday 4/7, and reported in the FT on Wednesday 6/7, the day before a mediation meeting was held in Luanda Angola to discuss the brewing conflict - which appears to have quietened things. Image

Hon Medard Ssegona on #COVID19 money for MPs: Speaker Kadaga is my boss, I cannot contradict her. I have returned the money because I didn't know what to do with it.

#NBSUpdates #StaySafeUg
Hon. Ssegona: I rejected the money because I cannot account to the Chief Administrative Officer who is a subordinate. I'm only supposed to receive my salary which is my money. Let's stick to our work which is legislating. #NBSUpdates #StaySafeUg
Hon Medard Ssegona: This is an attack on the Speaker of Parliament. We could have fallen short, but it doesn't justify calling us thieves. We know that people have stolen more money that is not even allocated to them.

Chris Obore: What we're seeing now at Makerere University is what is happening in the rest of the country. We never think ahead, we only wake up to the problem and start panicking.

#NBSMorningBreeze #NBSUpdates
Chris Obore: The privatisation of higher education in 1990 by the World Bank is the very reason why we’re here today. The government needs to increase community colleagues because everyone can’t come to Makerere university.

#NBSMorningBreeze #NBSUpdates
Chris Obore: The government should start to reward non-university education that many people find value in studying.
