Ugandan president appoints son as army chief

Ugandan president appoints son as army chief Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta gave Museveni his only son as a general and appointed him chief of staff of the army's general staff. Muhuzi Kainrugaba was promoted from the rank of brigadier to brigadier general, second highest in the Ugandan army. Mohozi, 44, has held a three-year brigadier general, where he served as adviser to the chief of operations. Muhousi's promotion came as part of a general promotion campaign involving 2,000 army officers. It is reported that Mohawzi's promotion is a preparation for him to succeed the 33-year-old mother. If he heads Uganda after his father, he will not be the first in the African continent to succeed Joseph Kabila and his father, Laurent Kabila, in the former Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and successor to Bongo and his father, Omar Bongo, as Gabon's president. Equatorial Guinea's President Teodoro Obiang appointed his son as his deputy and Eritrean President Isaia...

Vietnam greets Trump and Kim Jong Un with flowers, giant portraits and press at arm’s length President Trump and Kim Jong Un arrived in Vietnam’s capital on Tuesday for a second summit that could determine whether the high-profile diplomatic outreach will do anything to roll back North Korea’s nuclear program. Trump landed at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport around 9 p.m. and was scheduled to meet with Vietnamese officials Wednesday before having dinner with Kim and a few close aides.

The reclusive North Korean leader – who borrowed a Chinese jet to travel to last year’s summit with Trump in Singapore but g...

Kenyan luck with Somalia !--- Khaled Hassan Yousef

!Kenyan luck with Somalia Khaled Hassan Yousef Some may think Kenya's fabrication with Somalia is a diplomatic crisis this month in February 2019. It was triggered by a political flop by Nairobi that expelled its Somali ambassador and recalled its ambassador to Mogadishu. The crux of the issue is that Kenya wanted to do so, inter alia, its desire to blackmail Somalia, its pulse for the reaction of the Somali government, to obtain the sympathy and support of Somalis associated with it to play a role in supporting its decision towards Somalia. Somalis have a historical problem with Kenya over geopolitics, which has made some African tribes, of which there was historically no historical link as a country called Kenya and the gathering of these tribes. Somalis generally view them as a nation with many constituents and an objective desire to achieve their political unity, especially since the Somalis who were merged with the nascent Kenya in 1963 stressed their unwillingness to ...

Somali culture is an identity. *-- Khaled Hassan Yousef

* Somali culture is an identity. Khaled Hassan Yousef The Somali identity is discussed by the people of this nation, especially the writers, or by others, who are often accompanied by a lack of understanding of what identity is. Consequently, these writings are not attractive or influential in forming a cognitive awareness related to the issue of identity. When writing about it as a boring material and not solid and non-cognitive, because they do not feel what identity and factors that form an identity, but almost revolve about the writings of those who have no knowledge of the sense of identity, and many of these writings emanating from the dimensions of political or racist . They regularly focus on several factors, for example: The common origin and existence of a common ethnic root belongs to the Somalis. History and reality confirm that the Somalis, like all other social components, do not come from a common origin, but rather include a human integration on the geography of ...

Nervous White House aides fear Trump will give Kim major - Brendan Skwire BRENDAN SKWIRE

Nervous White House aides fear Trump will give Kim major  Brendan Skwire BRENDAN SKWIRE concessions — then try to spin it as a symbolic victory: CNN contributor New York City Council’s first female and first openly gay speaker, and CNN political contributor, Christine Quinn said on Tuesday that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was clearly in control of this week’s summit with the United States — and White House aides are worried that President Donald Trump will once again trade concessions for nothing. Host Stephanie Ruhle described the first summit as a “grin and grip” that resulted in empty promises from the North Korean leader, and asked Quinn what there was left to talk about. “That reality that nothing really has happened, really goes to what you were saying. It puts Kim Jong-un in the driver’s seat here,” she said. “The president’s aides are very nervous that the president will a...
