I am the proud client. Really amazing work!

There is a lesson to be learned here.

These Western professors of neoclassical "economics" who boast of having never read Adam Smith or Marx are illustrating exactly what is wrong with their field. They are proud of their ignorance. Their claim to not be "ideological" is in fact the perfect demonstration of their

Ssegirinya was a rare breed of politician. He used wit, humor and charm to send perfectly strong political messages. He was unrelentingly joyful - even in his dying days. He was a true community leader and champion who relied on local solutions to local problems

BS! A seemingly normal arrest of any protestor is rarely such. This is my back and waist after a female Uganda Police Force officer- whose identity we’re still trying to establish- deliberately punched, pinched and scratched me during a peaceful march yesterday. #MarchAgainstImpunity

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Speaking with PEPFAR implementers today in Mozambique, Haiti and Uganda: NOTHING has changed, the stop-work order is in full effect; life-saving HIV treatment for 20.6 million is being held hostage by Musk’s jackbooted thugs who have taken over foreign assistance, illegally.

I’m looking for a thinking partner; preferably a master’s in economics with great longitudinal study skills to embark on a writing project. They must have political economy analysis skills already. Please reach out if you’re the person. Ps: It’s paid 🙏🏽

Honestly, it's hard to believe that UGANDA's elite or supposed elite allow their children to go through this cruel, degrading and inhumane treatment after a majority of them experienced the same or worse. And, they are laying upwards of $1,000 for this cruel and inhuman treatment

February 16th honours a church leader who spoke out against human rights violations and corruption. The silence these days is deafening. #FreeKizzaBesigye

This regime would’ve arrested, detained, tortured or even killed Archbishop Janan Luwum. Stop the hypocrisy! #jananluwumday

Happier days! It’s 3 months since ⁦Kifefe Kizza-Besigye⁩ was kidnapped in Nairobi. We missed him at Christmas and brought in the new year without him. He remains in captivity of President ⁦Yoweri K Museveni⁩ and his son, the army chief. We demand his release.

The Democratic Party needs a major transformation. It can no longer be a top-down, billionaire-funded, consultant-driven party. It must be a multi-generational, multi-racial working class party. In a time of growing oligarchy & authoritarianism, that’s the only path to victory.

Across Africa, people are pushed into precarious, exported, devalued labour and sold the dream of economic mobility. But who really benefits? And at whose expense? Leah Eryenyu’s paper in Feminist Africa asks the hard questions. 📘 Read: bit.ly/3Tu4S1r #LabourJustice
