SAMSON TUSIIME: The #KampalaGeopolitics panel list shows media doesn't have to get talking points & sound bites from same people every damn time. And most importantly, there are enough QUALIFIED #women not to have manels on ANY topic. #Namate

@KasUganda @Sambannz @reachahand ONYANGO-OBBO: #Kategaya was spot on in 2011. He said 'The world, won’t, can’t just sit back & watch if we, #African-s, do not put our resources to productive use. Global players will come, take & do something about this resources. It's the cold reality.' #KampalaGeopolitics

@KasUganda @Sambannz @reachahand ONYANGO-OBBO: What #UPDF did when it became the first mover #AMISOM contingent to #Somalia in 2007, was it supplied one of the biggest #geopolitical goods to the world. It made it possible to turn the tide in The Horn against piracy.

@KasUganda @Sambannz @reachahand ONYANGO-OBBO: In a way, what happened in 2007 (AMISOM) in #Somalia, became very significant for the World Cup in 2010 in South Africa. It drove the largest investment into fiber optic infrastructure into #Africa. #Digital #Technology

@KasUganda @Sambannz @reachahand @cobbo3 @AnyangNyongo PROF NAWANGWE: #Makerere is one university that takes political science seriously. We must take our position in directing political debate, intellectually. Not politicking, but intellectually. We are now resurrecting the culture of debate. @ProfNawangwe

@KasUganda @Sambannz @reachahand @cobbo3 @AnyangNyongo @ProfNawangwe ONYANGO-OBBO: Even if you cannot go out & save the world & make Africa a better place, just study it (#geopolitics), and be smart at it, and learn it, because you can actually make a living off it.
