"When you decide to try love ‘one more time’, go all in and give this new spouse a chance on a clean slate."

#SexTalk: That power to destroy…
“Love is giving someone the power to destroy you and trusting that they won’t.”
Perfect definition. And because you give someone else the power to destroy you, if they do, the next person that dares come up to you to propose a similar love is in for a rough ride.
Many marriages are struggling under the yoke of hurt people who entered new unions without first sorting the ones that destroyed them.
A wife that survives an abusive marriage gets into the next one with full armour on, and nothing can penetrate that shield unless she deals with past pain. A man whose ex-wife cheated on him will approach a new marriage with constant suspicion that will eventually destroy it.

In January 2027, 🇺🇬Uganda’s rights record goes before the #UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review(#UPR) in Geneva.
Our joint report with @APC_News and @wougnet, titled "Human Rights in the Digital Context in Uganda", finds the state has repeatedly fallen short on freedom of expression, access to information, privacy, and data protection.
While #Uganda has made significant strides in e-government services, telemedicine and expanding digital access, the report argues that these advances have not translated into universal, affordable and meaningful connectivity
@observerug’s Frank Kisakye takes stock of the findings in this article: tinyurl.com/4aabksc4

All technical guys have been invited by Parliament to answer these technical questions, instead, they have contradicted themselves, others including Yunus Kakande have made scary revelations—Hajji Kakande specifically said he has no idea who owns the data collected under ITMIS.
Museveni warns MPs against inaccurate reports on digital number plates
The warning, disclosed by the permanent secretary in the Office of the President, Yunus Kakande, follows a State House meeting last Thursday, during which legislators raised concerns about the project’s rising costs, technical capabilities and contractual arrangements with Russian firm Joint Stock Company Global Security (JSCGS).
The meeting came amid revelations that the project’s estimated contract value had increased, raising questions about the additional financial obligations and the system’s ability to deliver its intended security benefits.
Speaking to the media, Kakande said Museveni recognised parliament’s oversight role but cautioned legislators against reaching conclusions without adequately engaging the technical teams implementing the project.
“But the President advised them that if the project is for security, they should not just come up with reports which are not correct,” Kakande said.
“Did they sit with us and we agree and talk and negotiate and agree with them? So there was no such thing as saying that the system is not working. And the MPs also accepted this.”

with the US on the verge of aggressing Iran again, Europe in protests as global fuel prices escalate, I sit down with academic, and analyst, Dr Sam Kazibwe.
What does it mean to view this conflict from an African vantage point – beyond fuel prices?

Article emphasises his right to make his career choice. Discusses blurred state & govt line in our reality. Even mentions he doesn't necessarily become a bad person for this choice.
the part some of you dont like is the reality the article raises about the govt & state he joins.
Goodbye Raymond, but do not gaslight us
Do not gaslight us into believing that your decision to join government is simply a neutral professional move, or that we should celebrate it as an act of national service. Serving the state is not, by itself, honourable. The nature of the state you serve matters.
Those who chose to serve apartheid South Africa could, by strict definition, be called public servants. Officials who used their knowledge, skills and positions to sustain brutal colonial systems in places like Congo could as well be said to be people who were simply doing their jobs. They were collaborators.
They became active participants in systems of oppression. Their education and professional abilities did not make their service neutral. In some cases, those very abilities made the system more effective.

That’s if they work from Monday to Sunday. But considering 5 days a week, there are about 250 working days in a year (minus weekends and holidays). Meaning their vehicles cost close to 450k per day
