After the end of the ‘cold war’ NAM continued to evolve, and now has 120 member states. G77, a 59-year grouping now, coalesced from its inception around promoting joint socio-economic aspirations. G77 has currently has a membership of 134 developing countries.

Fellow Ugandans and, especially, the Bazukulu
Greetings. Again, congratulations to the security forces for the recent capture of Njovu, the suspected leader of the ADF group of 10 that killed the two tourists and their Ugandan driver, killed the children of Lubiriha School, burnt the onions truck and tried, unsuccessfully, to attack the parked trucks in Kasiindi, on the Congo side of the Border.

There is, therefore, no need for our citizens, or indeed our visitors, to get into an un-called for panic mode. People intending to visit, are welcome to Uganda, savor our beautiful flora and fauna, and to partake of the tamed hospitality in the Pearl of Africa. We are, indeed, already receiving large numbers of visitors arriving, to participate in the N yege-Nyegefestival, which runs from 9th to 12th November 2023, in Jinja City, 80Km east of Kampala.
