Women's Day!

A general will baby sit your world. You will keep a nation busy and focused. That picture will say it better! All eyes on you

This picture from the New Vision could go along way into becoming the picture of the year in Uganda - thanks to Women's Day when I could not post a thing, another fellow saw it through the lens of his camera!

A General, a president, the commander in chief of the Uganda People's Defence Force, H. E Yoweri Museveni baby sitting. A hand shake with a prime minister. A large audience watching! A young mother smiling. Women's Day!

President Yoweri Museveni found himself doing some babysitting as Golden Girl Dorcus Inzikuru greeted Prime Minister Apollo Nsibambi at the Women’s Day celebrations at Kololo on Saturday. The former world champion and reigning Commonwealth Games 3000m steeplechase queen gave birth to Emmanuella Munguci on December 27 and hopes to be back in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics

Southern Sudan SPLM Convention and the marginalised of the marginalised

Let the mayflies roam. Let the mayflies dance! Let it be known. SPLM show your shades! What itches you? Why should they admire you? Why should they adore you? What was the battle about? What do the two strips in you flag remind you of? What about the red? Do you need some more stripes? How clean is your house? Is it clean? What do you want come 2011 when the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) expires? Reform and create the New Sudan or split as you have never been accorded citizenry by the colonial Anglo - Egyptian condominium that ruled what became the Khartoum establishment and thought the southern was part and parcel of the snobbery.

The Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) convention will take place in May 2008! Venue? Planet Southern Sudan. Period. Whereas the autonomous Southern Sudan government will hold its breath while the convention takes place, in Darfur, the genocide will be a side dish, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) might be clashing with Gen. Bashir's Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in oil rich Abeyi region, the southern roads will still be pathetic, the Toposa tribal chiefs will threaten to scatter their gold if for a noble cause but save a referral hospital that has healed thousands. Is SPLM separatist or for unity of the Sudanese people? What is New Sudan? Was she an hallucination?

SPLM, where is Darfur in the New Sudan Vision that captivated many? Do you still have the marginalised of the marginalised in your midst! Western Equatorial State (WES) the land of plent and beauty, a marginalised Ministry of Telecommunications and Postal Services; the marginalised of the marginalised - the directorate of telecommunications and ICT which marginalised we know are worth millions of dollars. Where was the love! What was the cause? What is in the menu for the convention? What for those in the diaspora? Where is your website? What for the jobless youth who might be retired earliest? What about the demobilised combatants who were in Congo in 1954 under that big tree and eaters of game, those of the gallant sons, daughters and mothers who now grace the beggars lists? Ah! I forgot! And those who walked bare feet till Ethiopia to launch the cause?

I love your SUVs the Land Cruiser VX, the GX, the Humvee oh yes the life style, the green buck and the pounds. True the CPA put an end to the war, but hasn't the revolution miscarriaged?
Come May 2008! Where are the Sudanese bloggers? Let the mayflies free. Let it be known that there is a motto thus: Unity, Equality and Progress

And yet I must love you.

A vote to information literacy: Yes to Obama. Yes We Can - WILL.I.AM

The Barack Obama speech inspired lyrics thus:

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountain-top and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality. (yes we can) Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. Si Se Puede.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We want change!
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
We want change! I want Change.
The hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America's story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea - Yes. We. Can.

Ful masyiri cracks the African sky

The Egyptians feed Kushites on ful masyiri! Egyptian Beans so they call it here. The Egyptians cooked it, served it and they ate it. Ful masyiri. Egyptian beans. So long to crack but once served luke warm, it is better than beef in Juba! Only a Ugandan chick is better! The Egyptian drained all the energy from an athlete and won the day. But the top scorer is well known. All pun intact.

Returned to base secure later that the evening and the liver was kind to the facts the vile Reds were comprehensively beaten and that the losers held the Russo empire.
City 2:0 United. Liverpool 0:0 Chelsea. A Gunner rejoices! Now lets stray to Blackburn.

Hit the pillow preferedly served under the gaze of venus whenever Juba heats up. Technology has not effectly replaced the beauty of a clear African night sky! For the breeze ... the bewildering thoughts under the wild sky as you attempt to count the skies ... marvel at the galaxy ... the milky joy ... hate the air copnditioned room. Beautiful is the summation of parts working together marvellously such that nothing should be added nor removed from ...

I am delighted.

Kenyan darkness and Uganda, Congo, Somalia, Southern Sudan, ...

The chaos in Kenya spells everything that Easte Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi) and neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, Southern Sudan, Somalia all but to name afew are being engulfed in a maze of uncertainities come the historic year 2011!

It is 2008. Happy New Year. It is a new year to some and merely different way of calendaring to some of us. In four years, lets compute: Year 2008+4years=Year2011. Yes the bench mark is four years. 2011. In the four years to come, alot of uncertainities could be experienced in the mentioned region. The four years will witness the political heating up of atmospheres in the region. Whereas the Southern Sudan is drawing near the d - day of the conclusion of the historic 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in Naivasha Kenya, Ugandan will be readying to vote come the year 2011. Change or No Change, the Kenyans are already doing mischief which could be a bad influence on the politics in the region. We have heard the piss from a volcano which is about to erupt ...

Kenya was instrumental in the signing of the Sudanese CPA, the same Kenya is central to business transcations in the same region and all countries mention before, poor Kenya is a boarder to hectic Somalia. Let us not forget what happened to Rwanda in 1994 and what is befalling the Central African Republic and the DRC at this moment! The LRA are also around the corner - in Southern Sudan and in the DRC and will they love the peace?
The next four year are critical to the political stablility in the regions. So help us God ... the Kenyans are setting bad preincidents
