The CEO of Afrika Mashriki, Dr. Tendo Kisembo, has appealed to the residents of Adjumani District to continue supporting the education of their children and to encourage them to take Kiswahili seriously, noting that it is “a pillar of every success in the country and Africa at large.”

Dr. Kisembo made the remarks on 29^th November 2025, during the 14^th end of year party at Mother Thereza Nursery and Primary School, an event that also saw the graduating of 53 nursery pupils to Primary One, alongside the launch of a new storage house construction project.

The school proprietor, Asiku Justine, extended appreciation to all the invited guests for gracing the occasion.

“Let me extend our heartfelt gratitude to you all the invited guests, especially the guests of honour for sparing your precious time to be with us in this occasion. Today We are commissioning 53 pupils to P1. And the guest of honour is also going to commission the construction of our storage house,” Asiku Justine.

Speaking during the celebrations, Edwin Nyachwara, UBC TV Head of Kiswahili Desk and Principal of UMCAT School of Journalism, praised the school’s progress and encouraged the community to keep supporting it.

“Today is not my day. Today, I’m just greeting you and thank you all for the efforts that you are putting to make sure that Mother Teresa moves forward every day. I want to tell the people of this community; this school is for high heights and very soon Mother Tereza will be something to look around in the whole country and in Africa,” Edwin said.

The Resident District Commissioner of Adjumani, Toko Swaib, highlighted the central role of education in the country’s development agenda.

“Education is one of our principal pillars as government for development. When we are talking about vision 2040, when we are talking about sustainable development goals, when we are talking about all other government programs where we have set a target, we are relying on you, teachers, the educationists. So, I want to thank all the parents for supporting their children to come to this school,” Toko Said.

The headteacher of the nursery section, Kide Joyce, celebrated the milestone achieved by the learners and reflected on the journey of the school since its founding.

“The school is celebrating its 14th end of year party since it is started in 2011. The children that we have passed today have acquired the five learning areas. My kids, my queens of these schools. So, it is time. Today we are ending the year. Next year we are beginning. Let’s work hard.”

In his keynote message, Dr. Kisembo emphasized the need for parents to guide their children with commitment and open-mindedness, especially in adopting Kiswahili now a unifying regional language. He stated that empowering children through both quality education and language skills would position Adjumani and Uganda for greater opportunities in the East African Community and across the continent.

The colorful celebration left parents, learners, and invited guests hopeful for the school’s continued growth. Mother Thereza Nursery and Primary School, now marking 14 years of nurturing young learners, was praised as a rising institution set for regional, National and International recognition.

The two-horse Local Council Five (LCV) race in Adjumani has been infiltrated by violent gangs purported to be on each side.

This is however now taking a nasty turn of events during the ongoing campaigns for the 2026 elections.

On 23^rd November 2025, Nyanda Ivan, a political assistant to Hon. Anyama Ben, who is the incumbent, was attacked by supporters who are said to be belonging to his opponent Hon. Anyanzo John, the current District Local Councilor representing Ciforo Sub County.

Nyanda is said to have been injured on the head with what is feared to have been a sharp object.

According to the Dr. Ambaku Michael, the Medical Superintendent at Adjumani Hospital where Nyanda is currently admitted, the cut wound was deep enough to expose the skull bone, although the CT scan report from Gulu Regional Referral Hospital confirmed that there was no internal brain damage.

“It was a deep cut wound that led to exposure of the skull bone. The skull bone was open. However, the investigation of CT scan, shows that there was no internal damage in the brain,” Dr. Ambaku confirmed.

While accounting the events of that fateful day, Nyanda said that while driving home, he noticed a vehicle was following him and later identified several occupants believed to be supporters of Hon. Anyanzo.

“I want to categorically deny the clip that Anyanzo John Ambayo made concerning the incident that happened on me on Sunday. I was driving home to go and bathe. I saw a Probox following me. When I gave way for them to pass, the driver decided to stop adjacent to me, I identified the driver was Tabi. At the co-driver seat, there was a lady and then the LC I chairperson of Pakondo village who is called Obumai. And then at the back seat. The person I identified very well was the Taban,” he explained.

He added that upon stepping out of his vehicle, he was confronted and attacked.

“As I was disembarking from the vehicle, one of them called Chiriga putting on a yellow T-shirt with a yellow cap held in my hand my left hand. Then we started now struggling with him. As we kept on struggling with him, the rest of the people were beating me with a stick. Then one called Siraji came on my left side. Where he said, ‘This one must be killed.’ Then I felt something hit my head. Then I felt something flowing very hot. So, I knew that was blood,” Nyanda recounted.

Similarly, Hon. Anyama says that his political assistant, was attacked while going home.

“They followed him. After the guy realizing people are following him with a vehicle number UBF 956S. Then he turned came back to town. The process they followed and blocked him with their vehicle attacked him later on cut his head with a panga. After cutting him, he cried for help and was taken to hospital and later in the morning was referred to Gulu referral for CT scan,” he narrated.

On the same day, it is also alleged that supporters of Hon. Anyanzo attacked the premises of Aulogo FM in an attempt to injure Hon. Anyama who was conducting a radio talk show.

However, on his part, during a press briefing on 24th November 2025, Hon. Anyanzo, who is also the LCV NRM flag bearer for Adjumani, strongly denied allegations that the victim had been cut with a panga.

“Yesterday’s incident, we have got it here. This person has not been cut. This person was taking off he was running and he fell and it was on this other road that was made by Rock Trust. Not really, I don’t want to call it tarmac. He fell and knocked his head. This is a report from the police. So, the allegations that this person has been cut with a panga is just a lie and a malicious allegation. Just to incite violence. This person has not been cut,” he said.

Meanwhile, the incident has intensified political tensions in Adjumani as the two rival camps continue to dispute the events of that night. Authorities are yet to issue a final investigation report.

Vendors in Yumbe Town Council, Yumbe District, have raised alarm over the deteriorating health and sanitation conditions around the town market, blaming the situation on persistent poor garbage management by the responsible authorities.

Oleru Nusura, one of the market vendors said that, for months now, heaps of uncollected waste have continued to pile up around the market stalls, producing a foul smell and attracting flies and rodents. Traders say the situation has not only scared away customers but also put their health and that of the entire community at serious risk.

“We are suffering. The garbage stays here for days without being collected,” said Oleru Nusura, a vegetable vendor. “The smell is terrible, and most customers fear to buy food from a place that looks this dirty. We fear diseases may break out anytime,” Nusura said.

Other vendors expressed similar concerns, noting that the blocked drainage channels around the market have worsened the situation, especially after rains. Pools of stagnant water have become breeding grounds for mosquitoes, raising fears of malaria and other hygiene-related illnesses.

Amba Swali Annet, a concerned citizen living near the market said that value for money is not seen yet the vendors are paying market dues daily.

“There’s no value for money yet these vendors are paying market dues every but the town council authorities are sleeping on top of the money,” said Amba Swali.

Residents also accuse the town council of failing to enforce proper waste disposal practices among businesses and households surrounding the market.

In response, the LC III of Yumbe Town Council, Odonga Ratib Sahaban, acknowledged the sanitation challenges and attributed the delays in garbage collection to limited operational trucks and budget constraints.

He, however, assured the public that the council is working on a plan to improve waste management and restore cleanliness in the affected areas.

“We are having plans to collect the garbage but what’s delaying us is the Town don’t have its own garbage Truck I want to urge the community to be calm, we are coming to collect the rubbish,” said the LC III Chairman.

The vendors are now urging the authorities to act urgently before the situation escalates into a public health crisis. They say restoring cleanliness in the market will not only protect lives but also boost business activity and restore the town’s image.

As the rainy season continues, the community remains hopeful that swift action will be taken to address the mounting crisis and ensure a safer, cleaner marketplace for all.

Olia Presidential Industrial Hub has held its first ever Cultural Gala to showcase Ma’di rich culture identity and different vocational skills learned.

During the Cultural Gala that took place on 14^th November 2025, students were strongly encouraged to transition into job creators after completing their six-month skills training course.

According to the Hub Manager, Christopher Ijjo, said that while the day was organized to showcase culture, students are also given an opportunity to show off their different skills and interact with different stakeholders on job creation.

Ijjo also added that the day also aims at demonstrating that the Presidential Skilling Program is yielding real results.

“We want to show to the people that also our children have attended something which they can show the world. I also want to show to the people that the President did not bring a ghost project. The project the President brought is real, it is working, and it is making change,” Ijjo said.

On his part, the LC3 Chairperson of Pakele Sub County, Hon. Kenny Wellborn, applauded the discipline and parade skills of the trainees.

“I’m impressed with the skills you are getting particularly the parade… the parade your practice is not very far from the UPDF and the prison orders who have stayed over 10 years in the system,” Hon. Kenyi said.

He added that if national service is approved, many young Ugandans would easily fit into military roles.

“When you are for the parade somebody recommended you are now left with only the gun to make you a soldier. In developed countries everybody is a soldier.” Hon. Kenyi said.

Representing the Uganda Prisons Service, ASP Paul Angois, the Deputy Officer in Charge at Olia Prison Farm, commended the diversity and unity reflected in the event.

“This is a cultural gala and it shows that the Madi sub region Presidential Hub at least embraces cultural diversity. We are a multicultural environment but having people from different parts of life,” ASP Angois said.

ASP Angois also noted that the hub’s work is transformative and will have a positive impact in the community.

“I’ve seen there is really something that can transform our community into something that is really impressive ahead. There is a lot of development which is going to happen,” ASP Angois said.

On his part, Adjumani Resident District Commissioner, Toko Swaib, also urged the trainees to embrace entrepreneurship as they exit the hub.

“Once you have finished your course here, you are expected to borrow Hub’s SACCO to buy raw materials to start your own workshop. I don’t want you to leave this hub once again as job seekers, you must now leave this hub as job creators,” Toko urged.

He also emphasized financial discipline and responsible behavior.

“Borrow that money, have financial discipline, plan it very well. I don’t expect you to go out there and begin to behave recklessly. You drink yourself off. You get involved in the drug abuse; you are chewing Mairungi. That one should not be there with you,” Toko said.

The Cultural Gala showcased traditional dances, skilling products, and the unity of various tribes within the Madi Sub Region, reinforcing the hub’s dual role in preserving culture and building a productive, employable youth generation.

Ciforo Police Post has launched a new community outreach initiative aimed at strengthening the relationship between the police and residents through community policing at the parish level.

In a move described as the first of its kind in the area, the community members will be educated on their roles and responsibilities as well as those of the police.

According to the Officer in Charge (OC) of Ciforo Police Post, Inspector Barigo Charles, the idea of moving parish by parish is intended to strengthen coordination and communication between community leaders and the police.

“We want to bring the community closer to us. The Community can help us to identify offenses within communities before they escalate into serious crimes. Many issues arise simply because of ignorance among community members,” Barigo said.

Residents of Okangali Parish where the launch took place on 12^th November 2025 expressed gratitude towards the approach, saying it was the first time a police officer in the sub county had taken the initiative to personally reach out and educate them on matters of law and order. During the dialogue organized by the police, the residents widely hailed the move as a positive and much-needed step towards improving community safety and cooperation.

Abio Jane, a resident of Forukwe Village, appreciated the OC and noted that most times women experience suffering because they are ignorant about the law and their rights.

Community leaders noted that the awareness sessions have helped them better understand how to report cases, cooperate with the police, and prevent minor disputes from turning into major conflicts.

Meanwhile, the LC II of Okangali parish, Irama Luke, applauded the OC and appealed for more engagement with police and other stakeholders.

The OC reaffirmed his commitment to continue the outreach program across all parishes in Ciforo Sub County, stressing that proactive engagement between the police and the public is key to maintaining peace and security in the area.

Residents of Forukwa Village in Okangali Parish, Ciforo Sub County have raised serious concerns over the continuous and unexplained deaths occurring along the River Nile banks at Esia Stream. These observe that several people have drowned under unclear circumstances over the past four years.

According Eberu Francis, these incidents described as the ‘unnecessary disappearance of innocent souls in the name of death’ have caused intense fear and panic among families. Many of the drowning victims reportedly died while bathing at the river, a situation that locals say has become too frequent to be considered normal.

“We have issues of witch craft in our village here and the current one they are using is different from the previous one. Our sons are drowning in the river and event some times you hit yourself on a stone like this, reaching in the evening you are gone which is really a bad situation for us parents”, Eberu stated.

Some residents also expressed suspicion towards one of the village youths whom they believe may be connected to the repeated occurrences. They claim the pattern of the deaths raises questions that need urgent intervention from authorities.

Komaa Susan, whose daughter was touched by one the boys who calmed that he has touched her with a love portion expressed frustration over the future of her daughter.

“It’s really very bad for us mothers because even right now my daughter is a victim of this and I don’t know what there is for her”, Komaa said.

Echoing similar concern, the LC1 Chairman, Drani Bosco noted, for past four years the occurrence of mysterious deaths of there was too much. He further stressed that last week one of the youth travelled to Dufile Sub County and came back with another mysterious behaviour which they suspecting him to have come back poison.

“It has now taken four years, we are losing youths, elderly people strangely some times they will enter the river themselves and the next hour you see their dead body that’s the reason why we called this village meeting today so that we can vote out those people but accidentally the suspects are still at church for some counselling”, said the LC1 chairman.

The community has now appealed to the Sub County stakeholders to intervene and investigate the matter thoroughly before more lives are lost.

Responding to the residents’ concerns, the OC Ciforo Police Post, Barigo Charles, urged the community to remain calm and follow the right procedures in handling the matter.

“For us as police, we rely on evidence. So, if such an allegation is there, I am appealing to the community to come and report to police so that we bring this person in and investigate,” he stated.

He added that rushing to conclusions without facts can cause harm and may lead to wrongful accusations:

“Sometimes people talk based on rumours, and even issues like poison or witchcraft may not be factual. At times people allege such things because of personal misunderstandings. So, I appeal to the community not to take the law into their own hands,” he added.

The OC encouraged residents to share any credible information with the police to support proper investigations, emphasizing that only through lawful channels can the truth be established and lasting safety restored in Forukwe Village.

Adjumani District Local Government has allocated a budget worth Ugx 46,786,015,144/= for the Financial Year 2026/2027.

This reflects a 35.59% significant reduction compared to the Ugx 72,644,601,862/= approved in the running financial year.

During the budget conference that took place at the district council hall on 10^th November 2025, district leaders attributed the decline to several factors, including the completion of major donor-funded projects such as USMID-AF, DRDIP, PRELNOR, and NUSAF, whose conclusion has left noticeable funding gaps.

The Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Leku Samuel, acknowledged that the budget trend has shifted over time.

“Where are we heading? This is the first five years before history. As you can see here, the trend is coming down. For the last five years, we were doing well. It started from 25 billion to 72 billion during COVID time. Then you can see the trend has been the positive one. Now we have moved to 46 billion. Today we are gathered here for 46 billion,” he said.

Other leaders also warned that this reduction may affect service delivery, especially amid the rising population of both nationals and refugees in the district. Currently, Adjumani hosts 528,885 people, including 300,590 nationals and 228,295 refugees.

Speaking on the issue of the budget reduction, District Vice Chairperson, Hon. Kaijuka Richard Arthur, noted that the decline is not unique to Adjumani.

“I think everyone is aware that it’s not only in Adjumani but the whole nation is affected. But specifically, for Adjumani, most of the government projects have ended. I want to request our partners that though most donors have withdrawn, let’s continue supporting with the little we are having because the population of refugees in Adjumani is almost the same with the host community,” Kaijuka appealed.

Meanwhile, the effect of the reduction is already being felt. According to the Senior Finance Officer, Mr. Samson Yuma, the district’s annual budget performance for FY 2025/2026 showed mixed results.

“We have so far realized Ugx 21.6 billion out of the current budget of 49.7 billion representing 43.53%. While local revenue performance stands at Ugx 219.77 million out of the Ugx 2.6 billion budgeted, representing 8.3%,” Yuma said.

“Central government transfers were Ugx 20.4 billion out of the total budget of Ugx 42.8 billion, which is 47.7%. Donors’ funds or donors’ support, we have so far received UGX 1.008 billion out of the total of 4.3 billion representing 23.6%. That is the current financial year performance up to 31st October 2025,” he explained.

To improve revenue performance, Yuma highlighted several strategies drawn from the District Development Plan (DDP4), including: Electronic evaluation, assessment, and collection through the Revenue and Social System; enforcement of local revenue mobilization and collection by both political and technical teams; strengthening internal control systems using electronic receipting; regular tax coding, consultations, and reviews; reviewing reserve prices for all revenue sources and enhancing supervision and enforcement at all local government levels.

Hon. Kaijuka Richard Arthur, also highlighted the importance of transitioning from subsistence to commercial agriculture to stimulate income growth.

“Uganda’s economy and most of our people are employed in agriculture. But we must move away from subsistence farming to commercial so that money comes in our pocket,” he said.

Despite the funding cuts and donor withdrawal, district leaders expressed commitment to strengthening local revenue mobilization, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring that the limited resources are optimally utilized to meet the growing demands of both the host and refugee communities.

The annual budget preparation process was conducted in accordance with the Public Finance and Management Regulations (2026). The budget conferences at all levels are convened in accordance with section 7 subsection 1 and 2 (b) of the Public Finance and Management Regulations 2026. The District priorities are done based on submissions from the lower local governments.

25% of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students in West Nile have experienced sexual violence according to a 2025 baseline survey report for the safety and protection of children.

The perpetrators are said to be fellow students, teachers and community members while the main places where violence occurs were cited as: classrooms, school compounds, dormitories/hostels, bushy areas near schools and on outings/tours.

The main drivers of violence against children in schools identified are: economic hardships, parenting gaps, peer pressure, harmful cultural practices as well as drug and alcohol abuse.

The findings also show that: 24.5% and 25.5% of secondary school students had experienced physical and economic violence respectively; only 74.5% schools included child protection in their school development plans; and 25.5% teachers lacked skills on child protection.

While presenting the survey’s findings to key stakeholders from Ma’di Sub Region at the Adjumani District Council Hall on 6^th November 2025, Obong Peter (PhD), the lead researcher said that the aim of the survey was to generate evidence to strengthen child protection in secondary schools and institutions of learning in line with the National Strategic Plan (NSP VACiS 2015–2020).

The survey covered 51 schools, and 1,003 (505 male, 498 female) students across nine West Nile districts of Adjumani, Moyo, Terego, Yumbe, Koboko, Maracha, Madi-Okollo, Obongi, and Arua. Other key informants were Police Officers, District Education Office staff, Teenage mothers, Community Development Officers, and NGOs.

The survey was conducted by the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) and Windle International under the Uganda Secondary Education Expansion Project (USEEP).  

On his part, Dima Robert, the Adjumani District Education Officer, confirmed poor parenting as contributor of violence against school going children urging stakeholders to scale up sensitization and awareness creation.

“Poor parenting is one of the causes of violence among students. Some community activities expose learners to bad peer groups. We need regular parents’ meetings to create awareness on better parenting methods,” Dima stated.

Similarly, Jomaring Japheth Joel, the Head Teacher Idiwa Secondary School in Palorinya Refugee Settlement Obongi district, observed a knowledge gap within both students, and their parents.

 “Financial challenges, early and forced marriages, and girls’ lack of sexual and reproductive health information are contributing factors,” Jomaring said.

Samuel Mpibaza Hashaka, the Resident District Commissioner Obongi is now calling for a joint and concerted effort by all duty bearers and key stakeholders to join the fight against violence that targets school going children.

“We are doing worse than Karamoja and as far as children are concerned, especially those at school and those who are supposed to be at school. And I want to say we are at crisis level early marriages, teenage pregnancies, defilement are the order of the day. So, we have to put our efforts together to make sure we stop this violation of the children’s rights because we, the stakeholders, and the parents are not doing enough,” said Hashaka.

Fortunately, Obong in his report also stressed that protection measures have been put in place to prevent the vice in schools.

“74.5% of schools have integrated child protection in their School Development Plans, Guidance & Counselling stands at (21.7%), VAC sensitization (17.8%) Menstrual Hygiene Management (17.1%), 80% of teachers accessed training in 2024,” Obong stated.

Ocen Julius, the Program Manager, Windle International, also recommended that more capacity building trainings need to be conducted.

  “We need to strengthen capacity building, increase resource allocation to boost funding to support child protection activities and infrastructure, improve reporting and referral systems, support vulnerable learners to introduce counselling, ensure childcare support for teenage mothers, and enhance community and parental engagement to reduce stigma,” Ocen recommended.

Meanwhile, district leaders in the Madi Sub-region praised the Ministry for spearheading the assessment and committed to using the findings to improve the safety and wellbeing of learners. They also pledged to collaborate with MoES, NGOs, and school administrations to close the identified gaps and ensure safe, inclusive, and protective learning environments in all schools.

The dissemination meeting brought together district leaders from Adjumani, Obongi, and Moyo, head teachers, District Education Officers (DEOs), Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs), and education stakeholders. `

Forum For Democratic Change (FDC)‘s Presidential flag bearer for the 2026 general elections, Hon. Nandala Mafabi, has vowed to prioritize economic empowerment by giving 100 million shillings to each village once elected into office.

Mafabi described this initiative as a direct way of putting money into the people’s pockets and improving the living standards of ordinary Ugandans.

While addressing supporters in Adjumani Town on 7^th November 2025, Nandala Mafabi, criticized existing government programs such as the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga, UWEP, and Grow, saying they have only worked to keep Ugandans in poverty.

“My brothers and sisters we have a manifesto, of how to fight these people who are making us poorer so that we have money in our pocket and to improve our education system so that we have educated citizens,” Mafabi said.

Mafabi also noted that many beneficiaries for similar projects like the Parish development Model (PDM) only receive a percentage of the promised shs 1 million because of corruption and bribery.

“I heard some of you got 600,000/= out of the 1 million because of corruption. Programs like Emyooga, PDM, UWEP, GROW make you remain poor because you are suppose to pay back this money as loan. But in my regime, you will not pay back the money,” Mafabi said.

Mafabi’s remarks drew loud applause from residents who said the current government programs have not significantly improved their welfare.

He emphasized that his leadership would prioritize fair distribution of national resources and ensure that citizens directly benefit from the taxes they contribute.

Mafabi also added that “Our mothers and fathers are doing small businesses but they can’t save because they are supposed to pay loans which they have borrowed from groups, even to the money lenders they have sent here intentional, the ones taking your ID as collateral security”.

Human Rights our Concerns, through the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Human Rights program, has held a one-day engagement with leaders of Adjumani District focusing on the perspective of human rights as a development concern.

Okurut Emmanuel Samson, the Program Manager for Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Human Right our Concerns, said the engagement brought together a cross section of leaders and ordinary community members to share conversations surrounding human rights and service delivery.

“So today we have held a one-day engagement with a cross section of leaders in Adjumani District on the perspective of human rights as a development concern. The purpose of the meeting was to bring leaders together to meet with ordinary people and then they share conversation surrounding areas of human rights and service delivery,” Samson said.

He added that the meeting was to foster a renewed action using their different spaces in advancing and promoting human rights at the community level.

Speaking on the national situation, Samson noted that the state of human rights in the country is “sweet sour.”

He added that the meeting was to foster a renewed action using their different spaces in advancing and promoting human rights at the community level.

Samson highlighted challenges such as poor prison conditions, detention facilities being in a sovereign state, and members of the opposition being curtailed from participating in politics, leadership, and decision making.

He then rallied the key stakeholders present to address some of those barriers and take real action to advance and promote Human Rights.

During the engagement, Ecima Paskal, the District Committee member of Human Rights, also raised key concerns about widespread gaps in awareness of human rights among community members.

“There are a lot of challenges we are facing. You know this issue of human rights just come up. Majority of people are not aware of their rights. Under human rights there is a right to own property,” he said.

Paskal added that wrongful detention remains a concern, especially when injured persons are taken to police instead of receiving immediate medical care.

“There are also these issues where people are detained in the police. In that people are incarcerated. Ideally, under human right, if you are injured, you are not supposed to be taken to police. The first thing you must be taken to the health centre or hospital for treatment,” he noted.

He expressed satisfaction that police were represented in the meeting, saying, “Today, I’m very happy because the police have been represented.”

The engagement ended with a collective commitment from leaders and stakeholders to strengthen awareness, address barriers, and enhance the promotion of human rights across Adjumani District.
