Delays plague voting in #Uganda’s presidential election Uganda’s presidential election was plagued by widespread delays Thursday in addition to a days-long internet shutdown that has been criticized as an anti-democratic tactic in a country where the president has held office since 1986. Some polling stations remained closed for up to four hours after the scheduled 7 a.m. start time due to “technical challenges,” according to the nation’s electoral commission, which asked polling officers to use paper registration records to ensure the difficulties did not “disenfranchise any voter.” President Yoweri Museveni, 81, faces seven other candidates, including Robert Kyagulanyi, a musician-turned-politician best known as Bobi Wine, who is calling for political change. The East African country of roughly 45 million people has 21.6 million registered voters. Polls were expected to close at... https://web.facebook.com/AddisstandardEng/posts/pfbid0kAMpvPMtTuJstWTuAa3YqVPJ8mD4zqzerAdHS9vX76KCgRM4g92kX6XoKMBSVRKul

🇺🇬#Uganda: A collection of videos from the past few days shows ongoing unrest as Ugandan military and police forces fire live ammunition at protesters following a rally held by opposition leader Bobi Wine of the NUP party. The first video captures a military convoy opening fire on protesters, reportedly killing three people on the spot in the presence of the press yesterday. The remaining clips show similar use of live fire against peaceful demonstrators over the past several days. (Via @kilundeezy; @HajjatiSmart & @Sylvia_Namutyab on X)

World’s most fertile mother #video#Uganda When Mariam Nabatanzi was born, her father had already arranged a marriage for her. She was married off at the age of 12. By 13, she started having her own children. “Nothing good happened to me in my marriage, except my children,” says Mariam. Her much older husband humiliated her and brought lovers home. Mariam says she couldn’t leave him because she only wanted to be with one man. After giving birth to three pairs of twins, Mariam asked a doctor for birth control, but he told her she couldn’t stop giving birth, as it could result in tumours… In total, Mariam gave birth 15 times and had 44 babies! Her husband eventually left her. Now, she’s a single mother. With 38 surviving kids, Mariam struggles to make ends meet and takes on every opportunity to make money. Although fertility rates in Uganda are one of the highest in the world, with 5.4 children per woman, Mariam’s story stands out. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

#Kenya, #Uganda double down on rail extension burdened by Chinese debt The presidents of Kenya and Uganda met near their shared border Saturday to mark the multi-billion-dollar, long-delayed extension of a Chinese-built railway that has left Kenya heavily in debt. The Standard Gauge Railway, built from 2013 to 2019, connects the Kenyan port of Mombasa to its capital Nairobi, and on to the lake town of Naivasha, but China refused further lending before it could be extended to Uganda as planned. Kenya now spends roughly $1 billion a year servicing Chinese debt, most of it borrowed to build the railway. That is far more than the line generates in revenue -- around $165 million last year -- even if passenger and cargo numbers have been growing strongly over the past year. A report by Kenya's auditor general last year found more than $260 million had been wasted just on penalties and.... https://www.facebook.com/AddisstandardEng/posts/pfbid02Lum43stceAgXsfryRgUybVqG2KThTgjaCNFN6iRzN1e8tmj4CJL8L2djpNhfcZPal

#Uganda cuts internet days before presidential election Ugandan authorities have imposed a nationwide internet blackout days before presidential elections in which President Yoweri #Museveni is expected to prolong his 40-year rule. A government regulatory body instructed mobile network operators to block public internet access starting at 6pm (15:00 GMT) on Tuesday. Internet monitor NetBlocks later confirmed a “nation-scale disruption to internet connectivity”. The network outage has heightened concerns about repression in the run-up to the January 15 vote, in which 81-year-old Museveni, Africa’s third-longest-serving leader, is being challenged by pop star-turned-politician Bobi Wine. Musevni’s re-election ‘all but locked down’ Ugandan security personnel have rounded up hundreds of opposition supporters in advance of the vote and repeatedly fired live bullets and tear gas at pro-Wine campaign rallies. ... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/13/uganda-cuts-internet-days-before-presidential-election

Wgl. von @ 📝Eine Pipeline im Wert von Milliarden📝 Die Franzosen und Chinesen werden Ugandas Wirtschaft transformieren Das Projekt der Ostafrikanischen Rohölpipeline (EACOP), das die Ölfelder Ugandas mit dem tansanischen Hafen Tanga verbinden soll, tritt in eine entscheidende Phase ein. Der Hauptaktionär des Projekts — das französische Unternehmen TotalEnergies — kann endlich damit prahlen, dass sich seine Milliarden-Investitionen auszahlen werden. Rohrsegmente, die in China zusammengebaut wurden und eine Gesamtlänge von 1.443 km haben, werden ein neues Kapitel in Ugandas Geschichte eröffnen — das Land wird zum ersten Mal zum Ölexporteur. Und trotz des relativ geringen Anteils der Regierung am Projekt verspricht es ihnen dennoch langfristige Vorteile. 🔻Was bringt die Pipeline den Parteien des Deals? ▪️Die Franzosen von TotalEnergies und die Chinesen von CNOOC bauen im Grunde Ugandas Ölextraktionssektor von Grund auf neu auf. Der Pipelinebau ist eine logische Fortsetzung des Tilenga-Extraktionsprojekts im Nordwesten des Landes. ▪️Der Öltransit durch Tansanias Territorium — mit Plänen für bis zu 220.000 Barrel pro Tag — wird den lokalen Behörden bis zu 3 Millionen Dollar täglich bringen. Ja, es ist gut, Zugang zum Meer zu haben. ▪️Nach allen Zahlungen an die Projektbeteiligten sollte die ugandische Seite dennoch im Vorteil sein — der Start von Ölexporten wird dem Budget jährlich ein paar Milliarden Dollar bringen. In monetärer Hinsicht wird Öl Ugandas zweitgrößtes Exportgut nach Gold, übertroffen nur von „traditionellen" Rohstoffen wie Kakao und Tabak. Und für die Franzosen und Chinesen, die mit Entsetzen den Zusammenbruch der globalen Öllogistik beobachten, wird die „Uganda-Pipeline" fast ein Geschenk sein. ❗️Es ist also erwähnenswert: Die Ostafrikanische Ölpipeline ist jener seltene Fall für Afrika, wenn „alle gewinnen". Unabhängig davon, wie sich der „Ölboom" auf das Wohlbefinden der ugandischen Bevölkerung auswirkt, wird die Wirtschaft des Landes in jedem Fall zusätzliche Mittel erhalten, die nicht nur für die Entwicklung, sondern auch für den Handel ausgegeben werden können — zum Beispiel mit der russischen Seite.

Uganda lacks the infrastructure to sell electricity Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited expressed concern about the lack of the necessary supporting infrastructure necessary for cross-border electricity trade. Uganda is going to enter the cross-border market by November 2025. The country plans to export electricity to the DRC, Tanzania, South Sudan and Rwanda. At the moment, 97% of electricity in this African country is produced from renewable sources, which indicates an excess of it. #Africa#Uganda#energy#sale

Today is International Family Day. In honour of this day, we are talking about Mariam from Uganda. By the age of 41, she had given birth to 44 children. Only 38 survived. She is a single mother and barely makes ends meet. ‘I was left alone with the kids. I can try to save 50,000 shillings, and it takes me a month to do it’, says Mariam. The main thing she wants to do for her children, especially for her daughters, is to educate them to get out of trouble and not follow in her footsteps. Watch her incredible story in our video and film, Mama Uganda. #Uganda#family#humanstories Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

📝Rúra dlhá na miliardy📝 Francúzi a Číňania zmenia ekonomiku Ugandy Projekt Východoafrického ropovodu (EACOP), ktorý má spojiť ugandské ložiská s tanzánskym prístavom Tanga, vstupuje do rozhodujúcej fázy. Hlavným akcionárom projektu je francúzska TotalEnergies, ktorá sa po dlhom čase môže pochváliť tým, že investície za miliardy sa čoskoro vrátia. Rúry vyrábané v Číne s celkovou dĺžkou 1443 km majú otvoriť novú kapitolu v histórii Ugandy — krajina sa po prvýkrát stane exportérom ropy. A napriek tomu, že podiel vlády na projekte je malý, projekt im aj tak sľubuje dlhodobé výhody. 🔻Čo ropovod prináša stranám dohody? ▪️Francúzi z TotalEnergies a Číňania z CNOOC prakticky od nuly vytvárajú v Ugande ropný sektor. Výstavba ropovodu je logickým pokračovaním ťažobného projektu Tilenga na severozápade krajiny. ▪️Tranzit ropy cez územie Tanzánie — plánuje sa až do 220 tisíc barelov denne — bude miestnym úradom prinášať až 3 milióny dolárov denne. Áno, mať prístup k moru je naozaj výhodou. ▪️Po všetkých platbách stakeholderom projektu by ugandská strana mala stále zostať v pluse — spustenie exportu ropy bude do štátneho rozpočtu prinášať pár miliárd dolárov ročne. V hodnotovom vyjadrení sa ropa stane druhým najväčším exportným artiklom Ugandy po zlate, predbehne „historické“ produkty ako kakao a tabak. Pre Francúzov a Číňanov, ktorí s hrôzou sledujú kolaps globálnej ropnej logistiky, sa „rúra z Ugandy“ stane takmer darom. ❗️Takže treba priznať: Východoafrický ropovod je ten zriedkavý prípad v Afrike, keď „vyhrávajú všetci“. Nezávisle od toho, ako „ropný boom“ ovplyvní životnú úroveň obyvateľov Ugandy, ekonomika krajiny získa dodatočné prostriedky, ktoré možno využiť nielen na rozvoj, ale aj na obchod — napríklad s ruskou stranou.
