(Mwenda) Musevini, who faces opposition in the next election from northern Ugandan resident Norbert Mao, has had to deal with accusations from Mao that Musevini deliberately ignored the problems in northern Uganda as part of deliberate plan. (DP Uganda).
Interestingly, as the national election nears Musevini has suddenly begun to actively campaign for votes in northern Uganda. He is promising to bring the same social and economic reforms that he introduced to the rest of Uganda to northern Uganda after virtually ignoring the region for twenty-four years. (Acemah) Additionally, he is trying to assure the northern Ugandans that the LRA is no longer a power in the region and that if re-elected he will make sure that the LRA has no capacity to come back to disturb the peace. Residents of the area, however, have every reason to suspect that Musevini's claims are without merit. As noted in a book describing the situation in northern Uganda states: "As long as rebel leader Joseph Kony is somewhere with his fighters, so experience...
The only thing one can know for sure is that the war is not over." (Finnstrom)
The reality is that the ingrained bias against Musevini and his perceived lack of concern over problems in northern Uganda may be a hurdle that is impossible for Musevini to overcome. Many of his critics see him as a pawn of the west and in order to encourage Ugandan solidarity Musevini's time as Uganda's president might need to be come to an end.

Theories The Uganda bananas case is about the regulatory and political issues surrounding genetically-modified crops. The case is written from the perspective of a scientist who has developed a banana that is resistant to a particular Black Sigatoka, an airborne fungus. This fungus can kill banana plants, which makes it a threat where bananas are a staple crop and where there are few remedies once the fungus sets in. The
Pneumonia, as Calkins and Palamountain (2017) point out in their article, Fighting Childhood Pneumonia in Uganda, remains one of the leading causes of death for children under the age of five across the world. As a matter of fact, more children have died from pneumonia related complications in recent times than from measles, malaria and HIV combined. This, in essence, is an indication to the seriousness of the issue –
Introduction It is in emerging nations where the female population encounter countless restrictions on a daily basis. It is a well-known fact that even in the education sector, the rate of girls pursuing their learning is massively lower than their male counterparts. Few females join learning centers.
