George Desmond Kamurasi, who is captain of SE Dons in the ninth tier of English football, has been selected by a committee to be the ruler of the Tooro people, according to reports in Uganda. It comes after his cousin, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, 34, died.

Our colleague @SpireJim is an idea, not just a moment. So those trying to silence him, like @kiuvarsity, are mistaken if they think they can do so through the hugely discredited @JudiciaryUG. My former workplace, @chapterfourug, was the first to recognize his trailblazing work, and others followed therefrom. I am sure @kiuvarsity is spitting against the wind in trying to silence him through an unlawful judicial process. Firstly, let's rally around him to push back against the @JudiciaryUG’s attempt to silence him. Join & @AgoraCFR and @AAgather’s push to contribute towards the court fine, as a mechanism for insurance. But more importantly, push back against the illegal and illegitimate orders against him. The court order is manifestly an overreach of judicial powers by a registrar of the court not clothed with such legal powers. We should push back aggressively and firmly.

When we hear about ‘the basement’, many wonder where that (in)famous address is located. Well, we have an idea. We have been reporting on this issue for a long time. See the screenshot below.

RESIST! #ogoncartoons

Political neutrality! Choosing peace! Safe corridor merchants! It's all part of a strategy to pass off vulgar ideas for wisdom and lower the public understanding to an imbecile level. The author cites the law because law is used to turn civil society into a mindless bureaucracy.

Gains 🥰

Court shockingly rules that persons abducted by armed men in broad daylight may have ‘voluntarily disappeared’! Outrageous! In 1974, President Amin appointed a Commission of Inquiry into such disappearances. Is this where we have reached 🇺🇬?

Even in the Amin days, it was often claimed that disappeared citizens had been spotted in foreign capitals talking to rebels. @R_Nabbanja where is #JohnBoscoKibalama?

WATCH: Edward Ssebuufu, aka Eddie Mutwe and Achileo Kivumbi have been brought into the courtroom at the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Kawempe. An emotional moment unfolded when Eddie Mutwe’s daughter approached to greet her father, but was quickly carried away by prison security. Both Mutwe and Kivumbi appeared visibly emotional during the moment. #MonitorUpdates 📹: @abubakerlubowa

While we say farewell to our dear sister Marinos today, we reflect on the life of comrade Luzige Masuudi who underwent many sufferings with her. After being shot by the military on 18th November, 2020 in Nakifuma, the regime tried to silence Masuudi and ordered him not to speak out or face severe consensus. But Masuudi spoke out. He addressed the nation and spoke about how regime operatives were trying to buy his silence after shooting him through the chest and mouth. Then, they started trailing him. He started receiving anonymous messages and calls threatening him. He decided to run to safety and seek refuge out of the country. Fate brought him together with Marinos and they persevered together through all challenges. Sadly, Marinos waited for justice till the very end. But Masuudi is still crying out for justice! I remain ever optimistic that justice will be served some day. #FreeUganda

BREAKING: Ugandan national @MKatungi, a close associate of CDF @mkainerugaba, stands accused of conspiring to illegally supply military-grade weaponry — including rocket launchers, anti-aircraft systems, and anti-personnel mines — to Mexico’s deadly drug cartel CJNG, a Foreign Terrorist Organization and one of the world’s most violent cartels. Katungi and co-conspirators allegedly facilitated arms deals worth $58M to support large-scale cocaine trafficking into the U.S. They sought to supply surface-to-air missiles, drones, and ZU-23 systems — weapons capable of downing aircraft. Despite international prohibitions, the conspirators allegedly forged arms control documents to cover their tracks. Katungi remains at large. If convicted, each faces a minimum of 10 years to life in prison. Katungi remains defiant and still active online. Muhoozi and his network are not just a threat to government critics in Uganda — they pose an existential threat to the American homeland. @MODVA_UPDF @usmissionuganda @AsstSecStateAF @StateDRL @realDonaldTrump @DailyMonitor @BBC @guardian @TheJusticeDept justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/b…

High Court Judge Emmanuel Baguma had DISMISSED the bail application filed by @kizzabesigye1 and Obeid Lutale. That means they WILL NOT be released on bail, sadly.

Stand for justice.

For those asking, here is the charge sheet, yes, @KagutaMuseveni and @AnitahAmong are the "victims"...

Turns Elson Tumwine, the @Makerere student who was abducted from Hoima - where he had gone to do internship - was secretly taken to Entebbe Police post, and in the absence of his lawyers and family, charged and remanded. Predictably, he is charged with HATE SPEECH, and MALICIOUS
