Looks like something very significant is about to happen. 👀
BREAKING: Iran has reportedly issued “Code 100,” its highest alert level, across the IRGC, Army and security forces in the past hour. The alert is reportedly used when Iranian authorities believe an attack may be imminent. Trump abruptly cut short his Camp David weekend and returned to the White House Saturday night without an explanation. Netanyahu has also shortened his U.S. trip, canceling a planned meeting with Elon Musk in Texas. No meeting with Trump is currently scheduled. Meanwhile, U.S. embassies across the Middle East — including Iraq, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait and Jordan — have issued security alerts warning of “unforeseen escalation,” possible flight cancellations and airspace closures. The State Department warned that the conflict “has the potential to escalate rapidly.” Iran on its highest reported alert. Trump back in Washington. Netanyahu returning to Israel. U.S. embassies across the region warning of escalation.

When corruption compromises the mind, even knowledge of the law can be twisted into utter nonsense. How else can one explain a judge declaring that beneficiaries have no locus standi in a case that was straightforwardly ruled in favour of beneficieors by the same high court

The Estate of the Late IGP Oryema,the land is titled,witha beneficiary’s caveat on the original title. A fraudulent special certificate was obtained by Owiny Dollo,another caveat was also lodged on tht fake title too,Justice Keitirima cancelled it, reinstated the original title

“If the land question in Acholi is not addressed, no serious formal investment will take place here. Customary land ownership without proper documentation will only make matters worse. We must encourage and support our people to secure titles for their land, or at the very least, have it surveyed and properly documented.” Hon. Justice Phillip Odoki - Gulu Resident Judge

The war story continues But what has hurt me the most, up to now, is losing my English teacher, who was also my relative He was arrested at night from his home together with six of his young cousins They moved with them until they reached somewhere, where the rebels ordered the boys to kill him. The boys refused Because they refused, they forced him to carry a hot charcoal stove with fire on his head while beans is cooking, as they walk They walk for hours until he reach a point where he could no longer continue. He threw down the charcoal stove stop and started running They chased him and eventually caught him around 1pm They brought him back to where the bosses and the young boys were waiting and again order the boys to finish him The boys still refused. The they kill him in front of them, and his body was left there We didn't even know what had happened to him until about five months later, when some of the boys escaped and came back home then told us This is one part of the war I can never forget💔

During the war, all the grass was burned. People in our village sleep in a simsim garden which had some grasses That night, someone from another village directed the rebels to where we were sleeping. They came with torches and lay down quietly near us, planning to attack By God’s grace, I move with our dog. It sense them and started barking. The rebels whistled, jumped up, and started running towards us My sister couldn’t run coz her leg was swollen, and our neighbour had a terrible toothache. We had to leave them behind. They were badly beaten We ran and ran. Every sound we heard, we thought it was their whistle. Even the moonlight looked like their torches. We just kept running We ran until morning. That’s when I realised my rubber skirt had fallen off while running. I run the whole night… naked😭 I will never forget what shit we went through

I have a feeling this Kony and friend suits belong to my dad😂 My dad was a teacher with many short sleeve suits. When the war intensify, everyone went to the camp, but he & four others stay behind One morning, while he was in the compound wearing one of his navy suit, the rebels appear... the boss like the suit and order him to bring all the suits from where is hiding or they will kill him. He bought them and they took everything, even his Imperial Leather soap and blue umoja slipper 😂😭 They ask about his children. He told them another group of rebel took all of them. They felt pity for him and ask him to escort them Along the way, they abducted two people. They killed one and ask my dad to cry on behalf of the family and one was ask to dig a grave and bury him while they watch them At 6pm, he arrive to the camp barefoot, shirtless and in short pants, with tears all over his face If we had still been in the village, we could all have been gone. Thankfully, we were already in the camp🥲

My teacher is Dr King. Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Malcom X. Assata Shakur. Dr Amos Wilson. Steve Biko. These are the people who lived and died for the African struggle for liberation.

Africans didn't create the hate, it was imported by the slave and colonial masters, controlled the media and watch them kill each other. That's the playbook.

Like Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, we do not have presidents, we have plantation supervisors—those who rule us on behalf of their masters in Europe and America. Colonialism never ended
