Should Uganda Abandon Kampala? The Capital Relocation Debate That’s Dividing the Country

A government minister told Parliament that President Museveni backs moving Uganda’s capital to Nakasongola by 2040, citing $1.6 billion in annual traffic losses. Kampala’s mayor isn’t buying it. The debate over one of Africa’s most audacious urban planning proposals just got very public.

Winnie Byanyima Steps Out of the Diplomatic Shadows to Fight for Her Husband’s Life

The head of one of the world’s most powerful health organisations stood outside her Kasangati home and issued a demand, not a plea, for the release of her ailing husband. Winnie Byanyima says Kizza Besigye cannot walk, cannot speak, and is slowly fading inside a hospital room ringed by prison warders. She wants him home, in Geneva, and she is not asking nicely.

Uganda’s Gaza Gamble: A Decorated General Says the Country Could Be Walking Into a Trap

Uganda’s Parliament has authorised troops for Gaza, but a former intelligence chief is asking the question nobody in government seems eager to answer: what peace, exactly, are they keeping? Gen.

Uganda’s Buildings Are Being Put to the Test, and the Earthquake Clock Is Already Ticking

For a country sitting on one of the world’s most seismically restless geological features, Uganda has been building fast and auditing slowly. That changes now.

50 Cyclists, 5 Countries, 6,500 Kilometres: The Ride That Could Reshape East Africa

Fifty cyclists clipped into their pedals in Kampala and pointed their wheels toward the horizon, carrying with them a message that no summit or signed treaty could quite deliver the same way. Across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi, they will cover 6,500 kilometres of tarmac, dust, and elevation.

Uganda’s Public Servants Are About to Start Paying Into Their Own Pensions, Here’s What That Means

For decades, Uganda’s government has been footing the entire retirement bill for its public servants.
