Central Bank Governor Michael Atingi-Ego has told Members of Parliament that declining tourist arrivals, coupled with falling global prices of coffee and cocoa, are among the factors contributing to the depreciation of the Ugandan shilling against the US dollar. #NTVNews links.ntv.co.ug/cHdlMB

The UAE has lifted its suspension on issuing new visas to Ugandan nationals, allowing entry provided travellers have spent at least 21 days outside Uganda since their departure. The updated rules also cover eligible students, diplomats and their families, subject to approved health procedures. However, precautionary entry restrictions for nationals of the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan remain in place due to ongoing Ebola-related health concerns. Authorities say they will continue monitoring the situation and adjust measures based on health risk assessments.

Iran has opened its first all-women military training camp amid fears of renewed US attacks. Dozens of female ‘Janfadayan’, volunteers willing to sacrifice their lives for Iran, took part in military exercises at Tehran’s Azadi Square.

Otunnu Speaks Separate from my decades of leadership at the UN, I have extensive experience of working outside the UN. I have been a practicing lawyer in New York City, a university professor in the US and France, the head of a think tank (IPI), the leader of a community-based movement for rebuilding a war-broken society, and have served on the boards of major institutions and been a member of key international commissions. I would therefore bring to UN leadership, the combination of deep inside knowledge and extensive outside perspective of the UN.

At least 12 people have been killed and dozens injured in multiple crashes involving around 50 vehicles on a motorway in south-eastern Bulgaria. The crashes occurred amid dense fog and poor visibility, which are believed to have contributed to the pile-ups.

“MUSINGUZI MUST GO" “Commotion at URA Tower last night as traders and clearing agents protested against the hard conditions put in place by the @URAuganda top management. Clients were not allowed to enter with phones”. Today in a meeting with my Finance committee, we resolved that we either close business or painfully adjust the prices a little higher (of course the latter with time leads to the former). Reason!? Taxes are biting and the cost of production has lately skyrocketed due to the known economic situation. But which country milks her citizens out of business!!? I support the demonstration ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
