Dan Muliika on Uganda's Political Landscape and the Need for Constitutional Reform
Dan Muliika, the former prime minister of Buganda Kingdom, criticizes the political and constitutional development of Uganda in an interview with The Observer's Baker Batte Lule. Muliika argues that the 1995 Ugandan Constitution is flawed because it was not written in a language understood by the majority and was not representative of the indigenous communities. He suggests that Uganda's regions should convene to draft a new constitution that reflects their aspirations. Muliika also condemns the recent constitutional amendment allowing the president to contest indefinitely, labeling it as a tool for exploitation by the current regime. He calls for a grand national convention to address the country's governance issues and criticizes the current state of the executive, legislature, and judiciary, implying that Uganda is a failed state. Muliika also expresses his dissatisfaction with the handling of land issues, including the Justice Catherine Bamugemeire commission on land.

Why Theresa may be the duchess of doublethink
Theresa May, the UK Prime Minister, is criticized for her use of Orwellian 'doublethink' and newspeak to manipulate public perception, presenting her party as socialist while enacting policies that suggest otherwise. The article draws parallels between May's rhetoric and that of Donald Trump, highlighting a global trend of political leaders attacking the media and employing surveillance measures to control the populace. The UK's Investigatory Powers Act and potential threats to a free press are discussed as examples of this trend. The article also references the public's mistrust in May regarding data security and privacy, and the role of language in politics as a tool for influence and control.

The Haunting Remains of West Africa’s First 5 Star Hotel
The Ducor Palace Hotel in Monrovia, once a symbol of opulence in West Africa, now stands as a dilapidated relic following years of political instability and civil war in Liberia. Opened in 1960, it was a hub for the elite and political leaders until its decline began with the 1989 coup led by Charles Taylor. Despite attempts at renovation, including a failed initiative by Muammar Gadhafi's regime, the hotel remains a shell of its former glory, with its modernist brutalist architecture now housing squatters and serving as a cautionary site for urban explorers.

Why the abridged Supreme Court ruling on election stung like a bee
The Supreme Court's recent ruling on the presidential election petition was notable for its use of plain language, making it accessible to the general public. Chief Justice Martha Koome's delivery was praised for its clarity and impact, using everyday phrases to describe the petitioners' claims. The judgment was seen as a significant step in bridging the gap between legal communication and journalism. Additionally, the article touches on a debate about the hyphenation of the word 'co-operative' and the relaunch of The Weekly Review, a publication known for its incisive political analysis.

Goan citizenship woes, from Karachi to Portugal
Goa's unique citizenship issues have come to the forefront amid the CAA-NRC debate. The state's Christian community has been reassured by the BJP that the CAA will not adversely affect them. Historical migration patterns, particularly to Karachi, have led to ongoing citizenship and visa challenges for Goans. The Enemy Property Act and the manner in which Goa joined the Indian Union in 1961 further complicate matters. Many Goans face difficulties obtaining Indian citizenship or passports due to their or their ancestors' migration history. The issue of statelessness also emerged when Goans were expelled from Uganda and Malawi in the 1970s. Despite efforts, the Indian government has not granted Goa the authority to issue citizenship certificates to those of Goan origin born abroad.

Idi Amin’s presidential lodge on Lututuru hill now stands in ruins
The once presidential lodge built by Idi Amin in 1975 on Lututuru Hill, Uganda, now lies in ruins, with its historical significance and potential as a tourism site at risk due to neglect and overgrowth. The hill, which also served as a British rest camp during World War II, is suggested to have educational value and could generate revenue for Lamwo District if developed. Local officials and residents advocate for government action to renovate the site and improve infrastructure, which could increase local revenue and reduce unemployment.

Will Muhoozi Kainerugaba Become Uganda's Next President?
Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed his son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as the Chief of Defence Forces, sparking speculation about Muhoozi's potential succession to the presidency. The appointment follows a pattern of promoting CDFs to cabinet positions and comes amid accusations of Museveni grooming his son for leadership, a claim both have denied. Muhoozi's political activities and controversial statements, including his support for the ruling National Resistance Movement and comments on regional relations, have raised eyebrows. His recent declaration of presidential ambitions aligns with the historical influence of the military in determining Uganda's head of state since independence.
