Red Cross chides Europe for failing migrants. Red Cross Secretary General Elhadj As Sy on Saturday called on European nations to offer solidarity and support to migrants seeking to enter their countries. As Sy told a news conference in Valencia, Spain that “people are coming to Europe seeking European values, of solidarity and support,” adding that “anything less than that is really a betrayal of Europe itself’‘. “Now what we are dealing here with is not a problem that we will solve but it is a situation we have to manage because the movement of people and migration will be with us for the next years, decades, you know, to come and unless we act decisively on the push factors – that we have peace, that we have development, you know, we will facing this kind of vulnerabilities that are putting people at risk, so we stand ready to work in partnership and in the long term”, As Sy said. People are coming to Europe seeking values, European values, values of solidarity and support and welcoming and helping those in need, so doing anything less than that is really a betrayal to Europe itself. A naval convoy carrying over 600 migrants from the Aquarius rescue ship arrived in Valencia on Sunday,thus putting an end to a gruelling week-long voyage . Last week, Italy and Malta refused to take the ship carrying the migrants which was sharply criticised and leaves wide open a fierce debate in Europe over how to handle immigration. The ship’s plight allowed the new governments of Italy and Spain to assert their respective anti-immigrant and socially-responsible credentials, and highlighted the European Union’s failure to agree on how to manage huge numbers of people fleeing poverty and conflict.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
