Thank you, H.E. @adoniaayebare, for representing Uganda at #COP31 and advancing negotiations on mitigation, adaptation, climate finance, technology, just transition, and the second global stocktake. For the young people we work with, especially students, moments like this matter. They show how informed, articulate voices shape critical global discussions that affect the future. Climate issues demand exactly the critical thinking, research, and constructive engagement that our debate and speech platforms help build. We stand ready to keep equipping young Ugandans to contribute meaningfully to conversations on responsible citizenship, accountability, and sustainable development. The Future has a Voice! @Parliament_Ug @Educ_SportsUg @GastaKakaire
At the opening of COP31, where we adopted agenda and look forward to leading negotiations across range of area , mitigation, adaptation, Climate finance, technology, research and scientific observations, response measures, just transition and setting a stage for the second global stocktake.

Museveni would have saved country so much drama had he appointed son, Gen. MK, vice president. It is their best, and remaining exit window. No wonder, man is now attacking the wrong people. I sat down with @Joshua_lawel five months ago. I agree, sobriety was the wrong word. youtube.com/watch?v=FluKNLrP…

Rationality is one of the individual’s most important intellectual qualities. Grounded in critical thinking, it is expressed in the ability to understand reality, align one’s convictions with it, and make well-grounded decisions. Here, reality means everything that exists independently of our desires and convictions, including the objective world, the human being, and society. Rationality helps form a holistic and productive worldview, build one’s life in accordance with reality, and attain a complete and flourishing life.

I have friends from elsewhere who laugh and say, you will never drive through a Ugandan village and not see someone holding that long stick broom sweeping the dust in the dust of the compound. Well, @wssekiranda and I drove through @BamutakuddeV and saw those long sweeping lines. The village is clean. thehopeparade.org/post/the-c…
