There are certain habits that seem to follow us as Africans, no matter where we are: a persistent state of disorganization. Take, for instance, the scene along Lumumba Avenue in Kampala. Vehicles belonging to visitors of the Sudanese Embassy are often parked carelessly, even on pedestrian walkways. This forces pedestrians onto the main road, exposing them to the risk of accidents. Disappointingly, no one seems to care not even the embassy staff. In contrast, if you visit the U.S. Embassy along Ggaba Road, everything appears orderly, with visible security and proper systems in place. This contrast highlights one reason why poorer nations struggle to develop: lack of organization. In that single picture, you see why wealthy nations continue to advance. Organized parking, for example, can even generate revenue through parking fees. Disorganization breeds chaos, and very little can be accomplished in a state of chaos. 📸 Daudi Walugembe
