Tragedy for global cultural heritage - and Uganda’s peace?

This UNESCO-protected site is of tremendous historical importance for the Baganda, and nobody is going to believe it was an accident. Will Kampala burn again? Another Ugandan kingdom has a very different day - its teenage king makes it on CNN! King Oyo admits to wanting to be like any other teenager at times. Ruling over two million subjects, attending class and still having time to do your homework must be pretty exhausting! Media does good! Seriously… The Daily News is leading the charge on reporting on cases of albino killings and raising awareness of albinism. But not for everyone, apparently, as other Tanzanians believe burning the newspapers is the best thing for them. Corruption doesn’t always mean bribing people in high up places. Through poor public service delivery and smaller scale corruption, the development of Tanzania (and other East African countries) is suffering. A story with cuteness overload! Two orphaned mountain gorilla babies are bringing Rwanda and the DRC closer together as they join forces to raise the babies. What good parents! Cissy Mangeni, Laurie May, Miha Logar
