In the past three months, spanning between January and March this year, Nurse Florence Atim, the area HIV Focal Person, disclosed that 480 new cases were registered. This has prompted a call for scaled-up HIV prevention measures, including the use of oral PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), condoms and newly introduced injectable PrEP, which is safe and effective in preventing HIV among negative individuals.Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba says he's now been authorised by his father, President Yoweri Museveni, to shut down @DailyMonitor and @ntvuganda over claims that they have over time mocked the family's 40-year. He's also threatened to have his political outfit,  Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), forcefully take over as Leader of Opposition in Parliament (LoP), where his father's political party, National Resistance Movement (NRM), commands the majority. He has further threatened to arrest current  LoP Joel Ssenyonyi and former MP Ssemujju Nganda for criticising his modus operandi when he boasted over the kidnap and torture of former Kampala mayor Erias Lukwago. Two journalists brutalised, arrested by police while investigating neglect of duty in Mitooma.

However, their investigation was violently interrupted. "We were forced to eat mandazi (fried bread) while they blocked our noses," Twinamatsiko added. The journalists were subsequently transferred to the Mitooma Central Police Station and hauled before the District Police Commander. In a bizarre legal twist, they were charged under the Computer Misuse Act—a law that was declared null and void by the Constitutional Court in March 2026.THE WORLD’S LONELINESS ECONOMY IS BOOMING: China’s “companionship economy” is now worth billions.

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. After the strikes, USA now issued a travel advisory to Americans flying to kenya. Is this all FAIR? Uganda has unveiled one of the tallest flagpoles in Africa at the new Ministry of Defence and UPDF headquarters on Mbuya Hill. 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. All this while Speaker’s budget rose 7 times (4.4b to 28.5b), UGX 55 billion is allocated to Parliament for newspaper subscriptions, number of RDCs, MPs and ministers is increased.

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. However, the IRA board insists that a contract renewal is not automatic and says it lawfully decided against recommending him for another term. Does he have a right?Ugandan police raided an alleged sex trafficking and adult webcam ring in Kyaliwajjala, rescuing 27 young women who were reportedly recruited into an online escort and live-streaming operation. Following the crackdown, authorities launched a manhunt for Ronnie Mulindwa, the prominent former manager of the musical group Obsessions, who is accused of masterminding the illicit sex-for-hire network and went into hiding immediately after the raid.

Several African governments have announced steps to cope with fuel shortages and rising prices. Madagascar on Tuesday declared a state of emergency to reduce fuel consumption, while South Africa cut the fuel levy, and Ethiopia introduced rationing. Senegal banned all but essential foreign trips for government ministers. From today, whenever I travel, the officers accompanying me will use consolidated transport in small buses to reduce fuel consumption and operational costs during this period,” Hassan said Wednesday.Massive chimpanzee group in Uganda has reportedly split into rival factions & descended into a deadly “civil war”. 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.
