Interesting take from the Former president of the Republic of Congo His Ex. Joseph Kabila now leader of FRN (Front for Re-foundation of the Nation). In this long video, he discusses and raises accusations on the systematic governance failures in the current Kinshasa led government to address national unity through dialogue. He specifically raises the following accusations; • The collapse of constitutionalism by the Kinshasa led government. • A rising dictatorial type of governance by the current president. • Discusses the issue of “Rwanda” and other players in the current conflicts facing the DRC. • A lack of political will by the Kinshasa led government to honour the different peace agreements. • The issue of relying on foreign mercenaries by the Kinshasa led government to fight on behalf of the government. • Weakening government institutions like the army through heavy reliance on use of foreign forces. • Divisions within Congo and her state institutions through tribalism and sectarianism. • The possibility of the current conflicts in the DRC becoming a regional war. • Lack of an independent national dialogue that convenes all or at least the major stakeholders to discuss about Peace and the issues affecting the DRC. • The effects of hate speech and the role it plays in the governance and the current conflicts in Congo. • The issue of federalism Vs a decentralised type of Government in the DRC. • Lastly, he discusses about the notion of “fighting to the last man” by the Kinshasa led government to solve resistance and opposition. He raises an important aspect worthy our scrutiny where he notes that when a leader engages in structural and systematic weakening of governance systems and institutions in the country, he creates grounds for turmoil. He further notes Congo’s resistance whenever constitutional order was downplayed. His interview offers great insights into the contemporary conflicts faced by the DRC to all peace lovers and individuals interested in the geo-politics of the Great-lakes region of Africa. With the formation of FRN in October 2026 under the political leadership of Former President, His Ex. Joseph Kabila, is the DRC headed for serious conflicts in the near future? The intersect of congo’s internal conflicts and the conflicts within countries around the Great lakes region, are we yet to see a regional war? With the participation of a former president and now joining forces with rebel leaders including the M23, are peace processes in the DRC going to be complicated? With Kabila’s participation, will the FRN benefit broad national legitimacy?

Until after 04 months! 02 months now and we are still counting…

You see that Declan Rice type of running that resulted into Arsenal equalizing against Bayern Munich? It’s what Michael Carrick meant about the entire Manchester United first XI.

Kasese Zaabu! Ending the week @SkyzLoungeKse

The raised CBR and CRR immediate effects! Whereas the two fiscal tools shall stabilise our currency by reducing money in circulation, they shall slow progress of the economy. This means fewer jobs in the economy for capital for biz startups shall be accessed at a higher rate.

Seasonal Businesses that employ a section of Ugandans are to be affected by the new BOU CBR of 12%. For us in the creative sector this means that relying on loans to finance events in the busy season has become expensive. With the 13.5% CRR comes tough loan T’s & C’s by banks.

Interesting development! If the Auditor is underperforming, recently we heard UNBS is not capacitated enough to operate at the required level, then tell me how an innocent Ugandan is not paying the cost of this bastardisation of government institutions with her money and health?

Mind you, this is the last-mile form of transport in Uganda employing a big percentage of our Youths. Without thinking of how to make their job safer, the government is thinking of taxing them. We need to raise serious policy makers in Uganda!
