When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the culprit,—Life!" Emily Dickson.

The Brighton model should be a case study across the football world, not just in England. High turnover of players and managers, but team plays to largely same philosophy and retains it's distinct identity no matter who is out there. And not just that amazing scouting department, but the wholesome blueprint need curious scrutiny and adoption!

Memorable quotes from the sharp-penned Ugandan journalist, commentator, and photographer Timothy Kalyegira .@TimKalyegira who went missing for four days before he was charged on Monday, June 29:
-"In this day and age, ruling people for 40 years is a mark of shame, not genius."
-Ultimately we all die poor. Nobody takes their six-bedroom house to the grave."
-On Uganda's economy: "Primitive accumulation of primitive wealth, by primitive people, for primitive reasons."
-"The only profitable economic activity left is praising the First Family, praising government projects, praising Big Men, [or] running for MP."
-"The people with money don't have brains and the people with brains don't have money."

Comrades, there is a clear difference between fuel availability and fuel price. Globally, most countries are facing fuel price increases. Many at astronomical rates. However very few like Uganda have continued to maintain stable prices and have enough stock in country with more stock on the way.
At @UNOC_UG we are committed to sharing more details as we monitor the situation.

#GumzoLaADR2026 has been a powerful convergence of minds shaping the future of dispute resolution in Africa.
From mediation and AJS to domestic & international arbitration, the conversations have focused on access to justice, capacity building, innovation, and collaboration.
The message is clear: ADR is not the alternative, it is the future.

Without doubt, ADR goes a long way in facilitating settlement of disputes. But the current trends & debates on ADR in dispute resolution in Uganda has been reduced to "father is better than mother" debate levels. In fact the whole premise falls short of blackmail of lotigants.
