Home Through Other People’s Eyes
The best part of this blogging challenge, for me, is the reading. Every single day I make sure I write first and read after, because I have learned that if you read fifteen or more entries before you sit down to write your own, something from someone else’s voice finds its way into your sentences without you even noticing. It is not plagiarism. It is influence, and influence is how writing works.…
Africa’s Hidden Front, The Heroes History Left Out of the Second World War
For a moment, imagine that Nazi Germany had won the Second World War. Philip K. Dick’s novel The Man in the High Castle attempted to paint that picture, but it never fully did so from an African perspective. Perhaps that is because Africa is often treated as a footnote in global history, even when it was at the center of some of humanity’s most defining moments. For starters, the Germans had…
Nostalgic Africa, The Childhood That Made Us
I have been thinking about today’s prompt since morning. It followed me through my whole day, the way a good song does, surfacing between tasks, between conversations, between the ordinary minutes of adult life that somehow feel both fuller and emptier than they used to. Nostalgic Africa. Childhood, playhood, womanhood, manhood, and the cultures that shaped us. By the time evening came I had not…
The Map Lied, Africa's Misrepresented Size and What That Says About How the World Sees Us
WinterABC 2026 · Week 1 · Africa and Identity Its June, I get to write on this blog more, since of late writing is more than a hobby, but again it all started from here, this Blogging Challenge gave me the ability to write consistently under certain conditions. So I am a geography person, jave been since school, and that love never left with the final exams. Long after school was done I kept…
WHAT THE NUMBERS FORGOT TO SAY
The Statistical Grey Areas That Sports Data Leaves BehindYesterday, Uganda’s Lady Cranes lost 47–20 to South Africa in the Rugby Africa Women’s Cup. At half time the score was 19–17. South Africa led by two points. Two points. The kind of margin that in any honest reading of a contest means the game is open, the result is undecided, and either team can win. By full time it was 47–20. That…
Fix the League And Build the Game of Rugby
Six-club Premier, six-club Championship, regional base. Ten-week top-flight season, home and away within the six, top of table wins the title with no playoff. Two relegated from the Premier, two promoted from Championship. Two relegated from Championship, two promoted from regions. Uganda Rugby does not have a performance problem. It has a structure problem, a commercial problem, and a courage…
Unite or Burn, Africa's Last Warning to Itself
The continent that has everything is running out of time to use itOne time Professor Jeffrey Sachs made an observation so obvious, it was embarrassing that it needs saying out loud, “Africa, China, and India each have approximately 1.4 billion people. China is one country. India is one country. Africa is 55. That single fact explains more about why those other two civilisations have risen while…
The Parenting Test Millennials Are Going to Fail
We know the millennial script by now. The trained sequence is clear and it is always try something, find it unfulfilling, then get out. Our generation has access to education at a scale never seen before and this is how we are taking this on, one day we are into medicine the next education then journalism to law to business. It’s the same way we relate to people around us with the drama of…
When Sovereignty Turns Inward, Uganda’s Dangerous Break from Multilateral Reality
The Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 presents what is arguably the most damaging self contradiction in Uganda’s recent policy history, yes a country we have a policy culture, and yes we are that sophisticated like all African, meanwhile a law framed in the language of the new multipolar world order that functionally undermines Uganda’s ability to participate in it. To understand why, you have…
When the World Stops Integrating, Africa Cannot Afford to Stop Building (Part 2)
How Geopolitics Overrunning Globalization Redefines Africa’s Geoeconomic Future is something that I have been talking about in the last 24 hours after a collogue shared with an article from the Foreign Affairs. Part Two The first is logistics sovereignty. The Northern and Central Corridors are not merely trade routes. They are the arteries of East Africa’s economic integration. Investment in…
When the World Stops Integrating, Africa Cannot Afford to Stop Building (Part one)
How Geopolitics Overrunning Globalization Redefines Africa’s Geoeconomic Future is something that I have been talking about in the last 24 hours after a collogue shared with an article from the Foreign Affairs. Part One The Foreign Affairs essay by Eswar Prasad makes a compelling case that globalization, once imagined as the great pacifier of interstate rivalry or Great power contestation of…
Cold, Local and Perfectly Ugandan Beers.
A visitor’s and beginners guide to the beers from the Pearl of Africa, what to order, what to know, and why the first sip matters. Not going to do a book about our beers yet, I have not drunk enough, and I am not going to white for a European either to briefly profile them to the world. Uganda does not have a craft beer scene in the colonial settlers’ sense like most African countries. What we…
The Strait You Never Heard Of Is Already in Your Pocket
How a 34-kilometre waterway in the Persian Gulf is deciding what you pay for fuel, medicine, and food. Somewhere between Iran and Oman, there is a strip of water 34 kilometres wide at its narrowest point. You have probably never seen it. You may never have heard its name. But if you filled a fuel tank in Kampala this month, bought medicine at a pharmacy in Nairobi, or paid for tomatoes in a…
When Tehran Burns, What Does Kampala Learn?
Iran’s Endurance, Africa’s Rare Earth Moment, and the Long Game of SovereigntyIt was always a matter of when, not if. For years, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke openly of seven wars necessary to reshape the Middle East into an architecture more favourable to Israeli dominance and American hegemony. Afghanistan came first, then Iraq, then the Arab Spring that hollowed out Libya and handed it two…
How to Love People Who Have Learned to Survive Themselves
Modern life generates the full spectrum of causes that shape mental illness, genetic vulnerability folded into childhood adversity that have affected almost everyone especially millennials, the slow corrosion of chronic stress at work, school and homes, neurochemical shifts after loss and sickness, the isolating architectures of urban living and the age of social media, and the moral injuries…
Burning the House to Chase Rats: Sanctions, Regime Change, and the Myth of Moral Intervention
Even when framed as moral or humanitarian tools, sanctions function in ways that mirror imperial and colonial power relations.Sanctions are imperial because they are imposed unilaterally or by powerful blocs that dominate global financial systems, trade routes, and institutions. Former colonial powers and their allies decide which states are “acceptable,” set the rules, act as judge and enforcer,…
We Love Smart People. We Hate Thinking.
Today it’s cool to refer to yourself as a sapiosexual. Sapiosexuality is the attraction to intelligence. Many today CLAIM to find deep thought more alluring than physical traits. That movement values the mind. This specific attraction is very common in modern dating. People list their favorite books on dating profiles, which signals a desire for substance. Everyone wants a partner who thinks, as…
