Teso, Karamoja and WestNile Subregion Hit by Famine.

I wrote this piece about famine stricken regions ( #West_Nile, Karamoja etc etc), in April 2016, making 3 years ago today April 2018.
I will not quit pressing the refresh button of what my people are going through until they saved and free at last.
I shared this post in November 2016 when Isingiro and some parts of westnile region were starving. I hear they are still dying with their cows. Let them eat cake or monkey and get Ebola.

For about four months now, some regions of Uganda have been experiencing severe draught and subsequent famine. The most affected area is the semi-arid Cattle Corridor that stretches from Isingiro district at the southern border with Tanzania through Mbarara, some parts of Buganda and across Lake Kyoga to Teso and Karamoja regions and as well some parts of westnile region. This calamity was expected but the regime made no efforts to devise means of averting it. First is was Teso and Karamoja regions where famine was widely deported to be killing some people. The media vigorously highlighted the calamity but unfortunately regime made no efforts to intervene in spite of the fact that even the Minister of Disaster Preparedness, Musa Echweru hails from Teso sub region. Interestingly not even the area Members of Parliament rises the necessary alarm to highlight the problem.

Now that the same calamity has showed up in Isingiro where both people and animals are devastatingly hungry, the regime is waking up to deliver food aid. According to Minister Musa Echweru, food aid is to be delivered to Isingiro first and then some parts of Mbabara district before heading to Teso and Karamoja. For the case of Isingiro and Mbarara, the ministry is to liaise with the Minister of Animal Husbandry who hails from Isingiro to intervene for the animals. In West Nile region, the famine is reportedly so severe that locals are stealthily sending their children to the Sudanese refugee camps posing as Sudanese refuges so as to access relief food supplies by WFP.

Some years back when a similar famine hit Teso sub region, the then Minister of Disaster Preparedness, Prof. Tarsus Kabwegyere advised the people there to eat grass, mangoes and insects. Had Isingiro district not been affected, when was the regime intending to come to the rescue of famine prone North-Eastern region?

Oh Uganda, May God uphold thee!

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...
