We need to make an urgent case for improving family relations/social ties to create shared wealth- only this time, to save our environment.
Here’s why....
I spent my weekend with our family matriarch. She lives in Bunyagabu, a place hailed for clean air, large farms, strong inter-family relations and a conservation.
She was complaining that her Maize had dried up because of the sun - and that the wind had stopped coming, equally, the bananas were taking longer because the birds that pollinate them had started to disappear from the village
The facts are there to show. The term Karuzika [to bury] is attached to the HQs of Tooro as a polity. Previously the Kong sat in Butiiti but the Abarusura captured that.
To fend off the attack, the reorganization of Bagabu [The shield clan] 1/4
Together with the Nubian soldiers [Abanubi] fought and stopped the advance of the Bunyoro soldiers. After the defeat of Kabalega, the Tooro palace was established because it was where all clans surrendered their fighting weapons. It became an armoury. Hence the name Karuzika 2/4
States are built on the loyalty to majorities and toleration of minorities and the Karuzika was an embodiment of that. If any clan wanted to fight they needed to undo the armoury [Okuziikura] which the King was tasked to always stop. 3/4
In 2012, when I first joined @ugandarn I was firmly placed on the security desk, a colleague @malabatom handled police, so I was sent to the army. The task was to always do a story on that beat every three times a week
Inevitably, a lot of this reporting led me to get into contact with multiple army documents - some high profile and capturing public attention whilst others outright boring.
One of the boring kinds was the Defence Sector review document. I’d gotten it from a source at the Jinja Army college who I’d gone to interview on American support to the UPDF.
In 2013, I investigated the exchange of Israeli refugees [mostly from Ethiopia & Eritrea] for guns & intelligence. The things I learnt then were that Uganda’s ‘goodwill’ was infact a hand-in-glove gesture.
I want to hope the Afghan deal is in goodwill, but I know it isn’t
Uganda is at its lowest ebb in relations with the US signaled mostly by sanctions to serving officers of government here. Despite open bragging of the insignificance of the sanctions, a govt sponsored lobby is in Washington doing bidding to undo some of those sanctions
Officials at the State Department say they are concerned about Uganda’s human rights record but they’re mostly concerned about its shift to the East
Three weeks ago I tested positive for #COVID19 . My sample which had been taken by @RocketHealthUG came back positive. Because I’d been working mostly from home I had less contacts [4] and I quickly informed each of them.
We immediately went into isolation. We had been due for a family wedding that day, we cancelled it. In the first few hours we dealt with a lot of anxiety. What happens next? Would we end up in HDU or even ICU?
Luckily the doctors @RocketHealthUG were really handy with explanations but also promised to do everything to attend to us. The initial anxiety ofcourse took a good toll on us.
Short term memory lapse is the folly of many operatives of the shadow state.
A small thread here....
In the run up to the 2016 election, a black site operation run simultaneously out of police [CPS] was set up. The reason: To stop P10.
P10 was FDC's vote protection team that sought to defend and protect the votes of it's candidate then @kizzabesigye1
Senior officers of police 6 out of about 11 who sat on the police council rejected this operation saying it had no foundation in law and infact would lead to partisan perception of the force. They were overuled and sidelined.
