Boy leaves school over cannibalism

It does not matter if cannibalism exists or not. For as long as its allegations lead to mob justice, evictions, death and destruction of property belonging to people who are not given a chance to prove their innocence, it is a big problem.

Police to probe mass graves in Bundibugyo

A team of security experts is travelling to Kirumya sub-country in Bundibgyo to probe mass graves, says the regional police commander, Thomas Kasimo.

According to him, the regional Police office had submitted a budget for exhuming whatever bodies there may be, to the office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), because the cost was beyond their budget. He said it was necessary to exhume the bodies to ascertain their number because they were not buried by the Police or the army.

Saving the malnourished through drama

“I used to despise local food such as green vegetables, eggplants, silver fish (mukene) and others because of the common belief that they are inferior. In fact, whenever my husband returned home from work without chicken, meat, chips and sausages, I would throw a tantrum.” This was the testimony of Jessica Kabahweza, a resident of Funti-Butagwa in Fort Portal Municipality, Kabarole district. However, all this changed after Kabahweza watched a series of nutrition dramas staged by Akasindikaine Drama Actors.
