So guys, I want to invite you to what I think will be an amazing twitter space starting in a few minutes -

Here's why

#SautiUG

@twaweza_uganda

From @twaweza_uganda 's recent data on businesses and taxation, these facts emerged clearly

1. 45% of the respondents said they had owned a business in the last three years, 24% of those said their business had since collapsed

#SautiUG

2. 32% of the surviving businesses were largely agricultural business

[We shall get into this on the space on how agriculture is [or isn't] taxed.

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

Not ‘cool and sexy’ Maaga!

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

@ugandarn

Small Thread;

On murders, shootings, assasinations etc...

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
