While doing a bit of research for the post above, I delved into the news pages of the Ugandan Observer. I came away with an undying respect for whoever writes the paper’s headlines, including classics such as these:
- Africa Leaders Renew Promises to Mothers (not, as I assumed, their own mothers)
- Women Tell Africa Leaders: More Action Less Talk (thank you Elvis!)
- Govt Latrines Cave In, 1,000 Users Stuck (thankfully not literally)
Still, the paper has some pretty chilling material too, like Exiled Rwanda Colonel Calls for War on Kagame…
