Maracha secondary school in Maracha district has, on 21-7-2022 been closed following a violent student fight with Otravu secondary school in Uganda's West Nile region. 

The decision to close the school indefinitely came after the students of Maracha SS attacked their counterparts from Otravu SS on Thursday morning in retaliation for a similar attack in which school properties were destroyed on Wednesday night.

The students were, however, intercepted by police who fired teargas canisters and live bullets to disperse the rowdy students. Three students and one police officer were injured in the process and are receiving treatment in various health facilities in the Maracha district.

Daniel Leku, the headteacher of Maracha SS says that their attempt to block the students from leaving the school compound was futile as they broke through the school fence to attack Otravu SS.

Maracha resident district commissioner (RDC) Festus Ayikobua says that the decision to send the students home is to prevent further clashes and destruction of property as they investigate the matter. He added that the students became rowdy after they attempted to conduct a roll call of those who remained at the compound during the time of the attack.

William Andeoye, the LC III chairperson of Nyadri sub-county where the school is located has described the incident as unfortunate and blamed it on poor parenting. According to the police, two students of Maracha SS have been arrested to help in investigations following the incident.

The latest incident comes just a few days after four students of Okufura secondary school and Nile High Odia secondary school in the Arua district were arrested over malicious damage of property following an inter-school fight, in which school properties were vandalized and over six students injured.

This is not the first time students of the two schools attacked each other. In 2013, students of Maracha SS and Otravu SS clashed during the district post-primary football and netball championships hosted at Nyoro primary school. As a result, both schools were suspended from participating in the tournament for two years.

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.

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
