you know: politicians in trouble needs an 'arm of mass distraction', and in Uganda this is it: in the meanwhile the 'usual suspects' will rob more.
My 2 cent is that no big 'traffic' will end up in tribunals: what I am really scared now are mobs: the idiots have no idea of what this can trigger
(I am in Kampala now, and to be honest a bit scared to take the street tomorrow: a little misunderstanding and you may end up beaten up pretty bad)
Worth mentioning that in Uganda there some brand new built so called "oil roads" (roads here are pretty bad, but these 'oil road' are super highways): so good you so not easily see in rich countries, with people living in huts on the side with no waters (apart from the oil traffic, the other relevant traffic are people walking with 15 liters water jerrycans on the head: the Oil is extracted (sit down before listening) in a national park (!!), and is extracted by French Total, taken to Tanzania for refinery (almost the other side of the country)... ah, and the road (perfect, btw) built by Cina....
and let's not talk about education (public schools are irrelevant and so bad that anybody, even the very poors, invest on private schools education: which, bwt, are at every corner! the majority run by religious groups that, as we all know, have zero interest to promote public schools)
The Uganda'scontext is really absurd for any even superficial eye: there is enough to make anybody scream for the idiocy, so a perfect "let's talk about something else" was more then necessary!
Many of the same people and groups behind anti-LGBT movements and legislation in the US are the same that fund and are associated with the groups in Uganda that are responsible for the law in the OP: https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/03/19/africa-uganda-evangelic...
I always think, in their minds they are outraged about the implication of m->f transgender using the f changing room, but now as a direct consequence of their law they are going to get f->m transgender using the f changing room.
the opposition best candidate "Bobi Wine", a singer, have seen his show cancelled in London and Birmingham in 2014 because of his lyrics expressing opinions against homosexuality.
What high horse? I live in the West, and I subscribe to modern Western values. I don’t think homosexuality should be punished in any way, here where I live. But what makes that belief universal? Pushing it on people with completely different cultural contexts and historical backgrounds is no different from what “enlightened” Europeans did to these same people in the past. It is just hard for us to see that today because it is our current morality. And yes, many people today and throughout history do not share our current moral system, obviously.
It's a polygon for unleashing any and all mafia tactics. The mafia is wealthy and there's enough people who'd even join the ranks with the obvious bad company for some one time payment. The goons are the local trucking plant's unofficial security force. Maybe we can catch them on not paying taxes?
