DRC Congo President Felix Tshisekedi Asks President Yoweri Museveni to Deploy UPDF in Congo, to Fight Rebel Groups.

By Editor
Uganda will deploy troops in Democratic Republic of Congo to fight rebel groups, according to reports.
This follows President Felix Tshisekedi’s request to President Museveni.
Tshisekedi is currently in Uganda to attend President Museveni’s swearing in ceremony.
UPDF last offensive in Congo was in 2017 during an operation dubbed ‘TUUGO’.
The army attacked ADF historical strongholds in Eastern DRC in general areas of Erengeti Triangle – North Kivu Province.
It razed down Medina, Canada, Abia, Topoke 2, Kajaju, Camp Richard, Makayoba and Sangote following the deadly ADF attack that killed 15 UN Peacekeepers and 5 Congolese soldiers in Beni, North Kivu.
The army said it killed over 100 ADF rebels in that offensive.
Uganda has in the past been charged and penalised for breaching the sovereign territory of DRC and plundering its resources.
Uganda had sent its troops into DRC in pursuit of rebels.
The International Court of Justice, the UN’s highest court, ruled that Uganda was guilty of “occupying Ituri (a region in the DRC), violations of sovereignty, illegal use of force, violations of international human rights laws and looting and plunder” between August 1998 and June 2003.
In the 1990s, the ADF rebels terrorized the Rwenzori region in the districts of Kasese, Bundibugyo and Kabarole for over a decade.
During the insurgency, the rebels are believed to have killed more than 3,000 people and displaced 100,000.

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

By Editor
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...

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...
