Dear @UEDCLTD if this is how electricity services are provided for local communities then what happens to small business owners who use electricity to sustain their small businesses like saloons, bakers and other little little profits retail shops. Unfortunately these people


Last year, during a campaign design session with friends, we chose a name that carried both urgency and memory: #SilenceTheGuns. We were not interested in the comfortable version of peace often presented by states the quiet that comes from control, fear, or managed stability.

“Men like you don’t stop until the grave has you” Robin-hood The corrupt, greedy brutes are never truly remorseful lest it’s bailing their lives & privileges in proximity. When met with empathy, they miss not a strike and stab those who extend Grace. Violence is a blueprint!


Authoritarian power humiliates women to discipline men. The attack on the NUP President’s wife while her husband remains in hiding shows how women are turned into symbols, shields, and warnings. This is gendered repression. This is the state unclothed not chess! #women

You don’t defend democracy by silencing citizens. You defend it by protecting access to information.Internet shutdowns belong in authoritarian playbooks not democratic states. They silence voters, crash economies, and weaken accountability!

Many countries. One shared space. The Africa Siblings Boot Camp brought youth leaders from across Africa to Uganda to learn, reflect, and build real connections rooted in lived experience. This was about frontline voices, honest conversations, and practical skills for change.

Until we can fully stand on business and not get into agreements as victims, Africa remains like a pawn who settles for anything to protect foreign interests. Our leaders lack guts and audacity to stand for something 🙌☹️

the joke of "African solutions to African problems" – is watching two African presidents signing off the continent's wealth in the name of peace. Is this how the world works or something is really off with the new breed of African leaders?
