So it isn't simply “Ugandans don't listen to Ugandan music”; the reality is much messier. - Guys… do Ugandans ACTUALLY like Ugandan music as much as we claim we do? - Does the crowd force DJs to play Nigerian/Amapiano music, or have DJs trained the crowd to expect it? - Are Ugandan artists making enough music specifically for nightlife? Or are we unfairly asking DJs to force songs into clubs that weren't made for that environment? - Why does OLD Ugandan music sometimes work better in clubs than NEW Ugandan music? - “If Ugandan DJs decided that from tomorrow 60% of every club set MUST be Ugandan music… would Kampala nightlife become BETTER or WORSE?”

The decision sparked public outrage and legal action, with a Kenyan court ordering a halt to the project and demanding details of the agreement between Nairobi and Washington. Critics argue that Kenya is being used to handle a problem the U.S. does not want on its own soil, while President William Ruto insists the arrangement is part of an international public health partnership.

Towering over Kampala’s skyline, the massive structure flies a giant Ugandan flag that can be seen from several parts of the city and has quickly become a talking point online. Supporters see it as a symbol of national pride, confidence, and a country that is investing in iconic landmarks, while critics are already asking the familiar question: “How much did it cost, and could that money have been spent elsewhere?” Will this make Ugandans more patriotic?Medical interns fees scrapped: Minister Dr. Chris Baryomunsi says the government's decision to scrap allowances for medical interns is due to the sharp increase in the number of graduates, making the arrangement financially unsustainable.

A major boardroom battle is unfolding after outgoing Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) CEO Ibrahim Lubega Kaddunabbi petitioned court over the decision not to renew his contract after 16 years at the helm of Uganda’s insurance regulator. Kaddunabbi argues that he was denied a fair process despite what he describes as a strong performance record that saw insurance premiums grow, industry reforms introduced, and the iconic Insurance Tower constructed.

Madagascar on Tuesday declared a state of emergency to reduce fuel consumption, while South Africa cut the fuel levy, and Ethiopia introduced rationing.

Scientists say the division, first observed in 2015, has escalated into a violent and largely one-sided conflict that some are comparing to a human civil war. Two Arizona-based researchers who have studied the chimpanzees firsthand say the cause of the split remains unclear. The chimpanzees, part of the Ngogo community, have since divided into western and central groups. Negrey, who has been involved with the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project for 13 years, said the violence has been driven almost entirely by one side. “In fact, all of the killing has been by the Western Ngogo chimpanzees. The Central Ngogo chimpanzees have been slowly pushed further and further east in the territory. They’re basically being pushed out of any safe place at all,” he said. Researchers say the conflict is not driven by a lack of food. The park contains abundant fruiting trees and resources. Instead, they believe space and group size may be contributing factors. “Over time, I think probably something to do with the community grew so large that they weren’t able to hold it together anymore as one cohesive chimpanzee community,” said Kevin Langergraber, a professor at Arizona State University who has studied the group for more than 20 years.
