Uganda has entered a phase of intense debate about its future which is commendable because everyone has a chance to express their opinions provided it is done in a civil manner (threats and calling names are counterproductive) to produce constructive outcomes for every Ugandan. As the debate continues it may be useful to draw lessons from history because what Uganda is going through is not new. Conflicts between governors and the governed over political, economic, social, cultural and spiritual matters have happened before. The French Revolution (1789-99) seems a good place to start. As you read the following paragraphs try to see if there are similarities to what is happening in Uganda.

Ugandans, friends and well wishers should continue to work hard, talk and write until a mutually acceptable and hopefully bloodless solution to Uganda's spreading and deepening challenges is found. That Uganda is headed in the wrong direction is not in doubt. The Declaration signed by General Salim Salleh and posted on New Vision on March 11, 2012 is testimony to that (although it is not clear whom Salleh is representing and how seriously Ugandans should take the Declaration).

He has only been party president for a few days but former UN under Secretary General, Dr Olara Otunnu seems to have hit the ground running. In this report, Moses Kalanzi reports from Kampala how Otunnu plans to bring Gen Museveni down.
 The end of president Museveni's era as custodian of the Ugandan state could be near. This, according to newly elected Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) President, Olara Otunnu, is not far as many Ugandans have been made to think.

 Excitement is high in the country following the return of Dr. Olara Otunnu former UN top diplomat with crowds swelling wherever he visits despite having had a low key reception thanks to the police and a heavy morning downpour. While the regime in Kampala has denied being threatened by his home coming, Dr. Otunnu homecoming is no ordinary holiday and stakes are high on his role in the upcoming 2011 elections in this banana republic.

 From Henry Gombya, Geneva
African-Americans long involved in the struggle for leaders of the western world to recognise the scourge of the slave trade, have said that US President Barack Obama has badly let them down and that he is worse than former President George W Bush.
Speaking at the Durban Review Conference meeting here in Geneva Switzerland to discuss the evil of racism, Jahahara Amen-Ra Alkeburan-Ma'at, an African-American author originally from Missouri said President Obama has 'sold out' people of his colour by not attending the most important conference regarding that wants to deal once and for all with the problem of racism. He said that with Bush they knew where they stood.
