It's DAY 300 since PC Charles Bahati from Bushenyi shot dead, Julius Ssekamwa, driver of M/v UAX 480C & 'fled' on a boda boda, from armed patrol policemen. Police 'recovered' only the gun. Let's retweet daily to remind @igp_ug1 & @PoliceUg to produce the suspect. #ArrestPCBahati

iClass: The Nigerian Obsession with the iPhone (Video Essay) 💋 iPhones can tell us ‘everything’ about class in Nigeria. It is has evolved from just a technological object to: 1. A marker of class 2. An object of moral panic tied to female sexuality 3.A visual cue for

The reason Van Jones can get up, use “dead Gaza babies” so crassly, toss in a joke about Diddy mid-sentence, and have an audience erupt in laughter - without hesitation for either context or content - is because of the depth and breadth of dehumanization that’s been permitted

Here are some highlights: We welcomed back Senior Fellows Diana Magdy and Jite Phido, who both led lectures (Jite with AFSEE Research Fellow Annalena Oppel), and Andrea Encalada García, Leah Eryenyu, and Madhuresh Kumar for a Senior Fellows Roundtable.

Fanon argued that colonialism creates a "thing" out of the colonized, leading them to internalize the colonizer's values and even emulate their oppressive behavior. He warned that simply replacing the colonizer with a native elite, while maintaining the same structures of power

This is part of the worrisome analysis of societies; many authors from scarcity societies where economics was an outcome of managing scarcity don’t understand surplus societies and how they managed surplus.

It’s 8 months since @kizzabesigye1 & Haji Obed Lutale were abducted & jailed. KB has 4 applications before court—2 for bail, one filed in April. Judges have refused to hear them. Friday, 20+ lawyers came for a hearing but were turned away. KB & Obed were not brought. Court says

Happier days! It’s 3 months since ⁦@kizzabesigye1⁩ was kidnapped in Nairobi. We missed him at Christmas and brought in the new year without him. He remains in captivity of President ⁦@KagutaMuseveni⁩ and his son, the army chief. We demand his release.

This regime would’ve arrested, detained, tortured or even killed Archbishop Janan Luwum. Stop the hypocrisy! #jananluwumday

February 16th honours a church leader who spoke out against human rights violations and corruption. The silence these days is deafening. #FreeKizzaBesigye

I’m looking for a thinking partner; preferably a master’s in economics with great longitudinal study skills to embark on a writing project. They must have political economy analysis skills already. Please reach out if you’re the person. Ps: It’s paid 🙏🏽

Honestly, it's hard to believe that UGANDA's elite or supposed elite allow their children to go through this cruel, degrading and inhumane treatment after a majority of them experienced the same or worse. And, they are laying upwards of $1,000 for this cruel and inhuman treatment

Kizza Besigye is on hunger strike, detained illegally by a regime that fears his defiance more than it respects the law. This is not just an attack on him—it is an attack on every Ugandan who dares to demand justice. They think they can break his spirit, but they underestimate

If ‘patriotism’ is the answer, why don’t the Permanent Secretary and other top health officials work for free and redirect their hefty salaries to frontline health workers? A PS’s salary could pay 10+ community health workers. Funny how ‘patriotism’ always demands sacrifice from

Speaking with PEPFAR implementers today in Mozambique, Haiti and Uganda: NOTHING has changed, the stop-work order is in full effect; life-saving HIV treatment for 20.6 million is being held hostage by Musk’s jackbooted thugs who have taken over foreign assistance, illegally.
