It is 6 pm and I am sailing on the mighty Lake Victoria, the largest freshwater lake in the world.

The huge waves keep flapping against the local man-made boat, I arrive ashore on Myende Island at 8 pm. I brave the last-minute moments of being carried off the boat. Uganda’s water industry is a developing one, the piers here are not yet developed so you can only swim or be carried by some energetic people to the shore.

Dawn broke and, and I couldn’t wait to get off the floor where I slept. I am now relaxed after my 4-kilometre jog. Ahead are some makeshift houses. Strolling through the few makeshift wooden houses that seem like the island trading centre, I see a group of women seated having a meal. The air here is different, filled with cigarette fumes mixed with marijuana fumes. Most of the youth I see seem to be intoxicated.

It is midday now and I enter a makeshift restaurant. On sitting I pick a conversation with one Nakachwa who then tells me that most women in the Myende-Ngaga fishing village struggle and face sexual exploitation as the lake gets depleted of fish due to improper disposal of waste particularly plastic.

Islands in Uganda are silently facing similar environmental degradation.

Myende is an island in Koome, this is a group of Islands in Uganda surrounded by Lake Victoria. It is located off the coast of Entebbe City.

The Island with its beautiful rocky scenery is just a few minutes away from Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary. It is home to quite a several species of birds.

Sexual exploitation

“We are facing sexual exploitation as we do not know our rights. We have not undergone any formal education and neither can we speak out for ourselves or speak back to these men to fight sexual exploitation, a man will abuse you in whichever way he wants without any support until you manage to escape,” says Nakachwa

This includes rape, early marriage, forceful childbearing after child marriage and prostitution.

“Because we have to fend for ourselves and the children as the men are involved in alcoholism and drugs, we don’t deny that we are greatly contributing to the endangering of the freshwater lake. The dumping of plastic bottles in which the alcohol, energy-giving beverages and sodas are packed is such a challenge. These are dropped by everyone. Women enjoy alcohol too. It kills our stress and for now, it is the only solution we have. The other alternative is to escape and go to Kimi or Ngamba island,” says Nakachwa.

The plastic bottles then end up in Lake Victoria and interfere with fish reproduction cycle of fish as fish like tilapia lay their eggs close to the shores.

Tilapia which is a common delicacy on the island is getting rare. This has contributed greatly to the lack of employment of both men and women as fishing is the main source of income on the island.

This has therefore resulted in unwanted pregnancies and thus making Myende Island inhabitable. They then move from island to island and the circle continues. But clearly, it is not a safe haven for women as their peace and security are compromised.

As I look across the island it is so clear, the indigenous tree species on the island are disappearing, this is due to illegal logging for charcoal burning and firewood . She goes on further to explain to me that this is contributing to the general erosion of the island and the soil is getting infertile.

Sustainable Solutions

Different projects are coming up to improve habitat conditions and enhance its population using the establishment of community tree nursery beds, training and deployment of tree conservation volunteers.

Conservation education and the establishment of village environment conservation committees enforced by peacebuilders, voluntary organisations like the Rotary International that plan on planting trees, proper waste management, and maternal and child care, safe water and basic education for all. One of the main focus areas of Rotary is peace-building all over the world.

There is an urgent call for a sustainable solution to waste management. How to transport the plastic bottles and transport them ashore is still a puzzle. The Uganda Government is still researching to find a sustainable solution by setting up a recycling plant for plastic bottles so that the lake is not endangered by plastic pollution from the used plastic bottles.

Other projects under Africa Institute for Energy Governance are also developing Uganda’s political strategy for combatting pollution in lake Victoria.

AFIEGO’s Communication officer Diana Nabiruma affirms that they together with other organisations like Global Water Partnership are strategizing on how to finance projects and distribute knowledge and advice across islands to save the lake from pollution and encourage livelihood.

The local village council on Myende Island is setting up alternative incomes, through private investors for the islanders such as beekeeping as a contribution to species survival both on land and the lake. Beekeeping is such a sustainable project as the bees help in the pollination of flowers and thus continuing the tree cycle of multiplication.

On speaking to the headmaster of the only school on the Island Omeriket Alonso says that education should be a solution to the environmental degradation and female sexual exploitation on the island.

However, since the outbreak of Covid-19, 13 of the girl from his school got pregnant, 3 were married off by their guardians and 30 boys left school for fishing.

“I realised I was headed for a crisis when only seven pupils reported to the school,” he says.

“The pupils whose parents live on the island are as nomadic as their parents. They keep moving from island to island looking for fish. When Myende gets depleted they go to the next island. In this way, I fail to retain them in class. They are looking for money along with their parents.”

The Islanders need sensitisation on the benefits of education and also exposure to different UNESCO programmes education and the environment.

UNESCO calls for attention to gender equality throughout the education system in relation to access to teaching and learning contexts as guided by the UNESCO strategy for gender equality.

In addition to this, apiary lessons being introduced as beekeeping could be an alternative source of income. These are being encouraged at a child’s lower level of learning as children learn from their parents.

The call for girl child education enhancement is crucial as when you educate a girl you are educating nations.

UNESCO content with the environment curriculum should be emphasised along with education for sustainable development in response to the urgent dramatic challenges the island faces. This is to enable quality environment change education.

Another option is enforcing family planning methods. This will control young girls from getting early pregnancies and as well prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Furthermore, the rules by the UNESCO health and education sector on a minimum age in marriage for girls which is eighteen years should be taught and enforced.

Other sources of fuel such as solar and electricity should be introduced on the island. This would reduce deforestation, overfishing and nomadism thus enhancing industrialisation.

With the situation on the island, different organisations need to come up to sensitise residents on vocational skills development and also educate them on environmental laws if they are to make Myende a habitable place and a haven for women and girls.

Thirty-eight-year-old Nanozi Sandra* welcomes me with a smile. She is carrying a child on her back as she weighs and packs up plastic bottles in a huge sack. She displays a face of resilience. Sandra is a single mother of five. She collects garbage which she later sells at a recycling plant.

Sandra was forced into marriage at the very tender age of 15 after she had been raped, she narrates nothing but a nightmare in marriage.

“Three years ago, I used to earn 80,000 (roughly $21) shillings at the salon. My husband would take all that I earned. I would be forced into sex. During my first encounter with this man I got pregnant, I was still young and knew little about sex, to make it worse my stepmother was such a fierce woman that I did not tell her what had happened. Instead, she would punish me as it is regarded immoral to talk about sex to anyone in our culture. That is why I escaped from home.”

“I lived on the streets of Kampala. With time I had to move into a stranger’s one-roomed house in Katanga one of Kampala’s biggest slums then. It was indeed not safe staying with a stranger but that was my only hope for shelter.”

The bad marriage

The stranger then became a husband who would take all she had leaving her penniless for several years. As the years went by, she had three other children to look after. “I didn’t know about family planning methods.”

Sandra’s lowest moment in her life that almost drove her to a mental breakdown was when her son, was kidnapped. This happened as the boy played outdoors. “This will forever remain on my mind!” she screams as tears roll down her eyes.

“I was tortured, beaten up for carelessness and often attacked by the child’s father, I had to run away from the marriage.”

Sandra escaped and sought shelter at a church, in Kampala called Mutundwe Christian Fellowship with her children where she got guidance and counselling from one of the pastors.

“After some time, I left the church. I started a new life. Since I had no source of income, I resorted to picking up plastic and selling it to recycling companies.”

“A few years later I was approached by a man who I thought loved me and promised to marry me but got very abusive.”

“He would slap me over a simple disagreement, hit me in front of our children. He hit my face until I had a dislocated jaw. This time he was arrested. He was later released on bail. I had to find my escape route with my children and went to stay further away from Kampala in Masaka.”

Uganda’s newly sworn-in human rights chairperson Jacklet Atuhairwe says, “women must always report gender-based violence cases to the police and get reference number. If the police fail to respond women should approach me and I will ensure that these cases are followed up and dealt with by the courts of law,” she says.

She adds that security amongst women and families is important for peace and development in a country and should therefore be ensured. “I call upon the Ugandan police to respond with urgency and tackle gender-based violence,” she says.

She goes on further to explain that according to the UN violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today.

She also notes that it is a major obstacle to the fulfilment of women’s and girls’ human rights and the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It occurs worldwide, cutting across all generations, nationalities, communities and spheres of our societies, irrespective of age, ethnicity, disability or other backgrounds.

She pointed out that gender-based violence has a great impact on peace at home and society in general.

Statistics from the Uganda National Bureau of Statistics show 17,664 domestic violence cases in 2020 went up by 29 per cent from 13,693 in 2019. 18,872 victims of domestic violence in 2020: 3,408 male adults, 13,145 female adults, 1,133 male juveniles and 1,186 female juveniles according to the annual police report on GBV and harmful practice of 2021.

She goes on further to call upon the government bodies in Uganda like the Judiciary to implement laws on gender-based violence to strengthen women’s peace and security in the country.

Fredrica Baguma the executive director Rural Health Promotion and Poverty Alleviation Initiative (RUHEPAI) noted that every individual’s abilities could be nurtured and enhanced with the right information and tools to attain economic transformation of their environment.

” Women form the most important parts of development and looking at their concerns leads to changes required for sustainable development,” she states adding that their programmes emphasise learning, actions and practices that derive to desirable livelihoods.

One of her programmes known as Kanyisa promotes increased farm yields and household income. Kanyisa is a local word which means “accumulate” It enables business initiation and enterprise development to enable grassroots women and girls to become self-reliant as owners of resources and this promote economic independence.  She believes economic independence gives control over their lives thus curbing abuse and promotes peace.

Her organisation also emphasises rural farmers’ resilience and adaptation to inclusive farming systems that advance climate-smart agriculture to attain food security for women and their households.

She also equips them with practical life survival skills with an emphasis on hairdressing and sweater knitting that lead them to gain the power to sustain their livelihoods and become self-reliant. These activities go a long way toward promoting equal rights

Domestic Violence is a silent killer! Women’s security depends on security in the home and protection from gender-based violence. This is why women’s empowerment is such a sustainable solution to gender-based violence in communities and enhances peace and security. This is because sustainable peace involves promoting equal rights plus prevention and response to gender-based violence.

When passion meets purpose, our lives become meaningful and then impactful.

I met Gloria Laker Aciro Adiiki. She is one of Uganda’s female journalists who has covered war stories. She narrates the story to AWiM News below:

Gloria narrates, “As a former war and peace reporter during the northern Uganda LRA war, this is my peacebuilding story on how I reported the war.

As a young displaced girl back in 1997, it was challenging to enter the newsroom with no experience and no journalism training. In addition, my living condition as a displaced girl was appalling. I was exposed to sexual harassment, name callings just for being a girl holding a camera because society at the time saw news reporting as a male job. Amidst these, my living condition was pathetic, imagine sleeping on cold verandas behind tall buildings to avoid rebel abduction. During this time, nearly all social services shut down due to the rebellion.

It was a difficult period. My parents fed us on the little available relief food since we had run away from our village and got displaced in the town suburbs where we lived in a miller machine house built and roofed with only iron sheets, associated with extreme cold at night and extreme heat during the day. Inside there was a maize miller machine, which also was not safe as the rebels were raiding town suburbs hence the reason we had to always move with our beddings (local mats and blankets) to sleep on verandas of town buildings, we were called “night commuters”.

This was equally difficult for all the journalists displaced by the war yet we had to report the conflict.

Every morning, my young siblings walked back to the miller, our second home with my mum to prepare for school. I would head to the newsroom carrying a polythene bag and inside was extra cloth. I began my journalism career with New Vision. In the office, we had a good washroom and from here I was able to take a bath, dress and wait for my colleagues Pelegrine Otonga, James Oweka and Dennis Ojwee to come so that we conduct our daily editorial meetings.

  What kept her going

Despite all the challenges, I was so determined to tell the world about the human rights violations and impact of the war on vulnerable people including my family and the entire Acholi community.

The suffering turned me into a strong and determined journalist. So I courageously put in a lot of effort in learning how to write war stories from my experienced colleagues and with the support of Pelegrine Otonga who was our editor and a senior journalist. I quickly learnt nearly all the basics fast, thanks to Pelegrine who would not allow me to go to the field without James or any other male journalists. He made sure I was in the company of a male reporter for my safety. Pelegrine protected me after my dad took me to New Vision offices when I insisted I wanted to report about the war, and he told Pelegrin to train and protect me. Given my achievements today, I am proud to say Pelegrine did well.

Reporting the LRA war was associated with watching terrific scenes such as dead bodies, landmine blasts, bullet wounds, and burnt trucks and the malnourished children and child soldiers rescued from the rebels.

Imagine photographing dead bodies with flies oozing over these bodies, imagine taking pictures of malnourished rescued people from the rebels with peeling feet full of pus.

Courageously and as a youth at that time, the more I saw these pathetic conditions, the more I wanted the war known so that the international community could come to our rescue because as time went on the LRA rebels had become impossible to counter. The rebels were flamboyant, dangerously destructive and very elusive to catch.

Coining peace stories in war reporting

With all the atrocities, with no signs of the war coming to an end, my colleagues and I began redirecting our reporting from the victimizing alarming reports we were filing to angling peace stories which help in pushing parties to dialogue and this created room for subsequent peace talks. In achieving this, we became one united peace mouthpiece/voice regardless of the different media organisations, we had one goal to report the war in ways that could reconcile people.

Practically, one of the things we did was to choose our words carefully and built good relations with the government soldiers because they were our only sure and safe means of transport to rebel-infested areas. “However, this did not compromise our reporting principles of objective journalism.” At this time the government army needed us as much as we needed them.

As time went on the rebels also began speaking to us on realising the power of the media in conflict.

However, to improve on my reporting, I had to do several short causes in line with war and peace reporting, thanks to my mentor Ms Margaret Sentamu, Executive Director of Uganda Media Women’s Association who identified me and covered my fees and I was able to do a diploma in journalism. I am proud of Ms Margaret because her sacrifices and efforts in bringing up female journalists have turned me into the journalist I am today, she boosted my commitment to war and peace reporting and this laid a strong foundation for me, first as a war reporter then as a peace journalist and later I was able to go to the university and studied a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication.

Towards the period of the peace process, more young girls emerged and they did cover the conflict and post-war errors extremely well. They had more advantages with the coming of the internet, unlike our time when we had to walk every evening to the only fax machine in the district at the post office, line up and fax our story for the day hence this challenge moulded me to a strong and determined female journalist.

My experience and my colleagues made me become a more confident female journalist in reporting conflict areas and promoted peace journalism work in Uganda.”

As a result, Gloria has received recognition and awards for her peace reporting. In 2022 October, she was one of the six finalists for the United State Institute for Peace, 2022 Women Building Peace finalist, and in 2019 Gloria was honoured and awarded with a presidential Golden Jubilee Medal by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for her contribution to peace in northern Uganda.

In 2016, Gloria was honoured and featured on BBC Outlook as an inspirational journalist for risking her life and covering the LRA war. In 2008 Gloria won a BBC communicating justice project in Uganda as the best journalist.

In April 2011 Gloria was awarded by Centre for Global Peace Journalism at Park University USA for outstanding performance in the implementation of peace and electoral project.

Gloria now uses her experience to train and mentor young African journalists on the roles of the media in peacebuilding and conflict management. Her effort is geared towards preventing media-induced violence and encouraging peace reporting and she is doing this through the Peace Journalism Foundation she established.

The passionate journalist is amplifying UNESCO’s vision of achieving lasting peace and security all over the world.

She has influenced several journalists in Uganda that can advocate for peace. The city of Gulu where the war had broken out is getting peaceful bit by bit as people resettle in.

Different Organisations like War Victims and Children’s Networking have also come up to ensure that returnee victims and children are completely resettled back into the community. After ten years there are still several challenges as said by former LRA abductee Stella Lanaam. She said the war victim’s children cannot access national identity cards as most of them were as a result of rape, or unwanted sex and others were deserted by their parents. She called upon the government under NIRA (National Registration Authority) to be flexible for these children to access national Identity cards.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus and is self-isolating.

In early February, as the UK took a different approach to much of the rest of Europe in its handling of the crisis, Johnson said he was continuing to shake hands with people – even in a hospital in which he said there were patients being treated for coronavirus infections.

A Downing Street spokesman said Johnson, 55, experienced mild symptoms on Thursday – a day after he attended the prime minister’s weekly question time in the chamber of the House of Commons.

“The prime minister was tested for coronavirus on the personal advice of England’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Whitty,” the spokesman said, in a statement emailed to Al Jazeera.

“The test was carried out in No 10 by NHS staff and the result of the test was positive,” the spokesman added.

“Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus,” Johnson announced on Twitter on Friday.

“I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video conference as we fight this virus.”

“By some distance, Boris Johnson is the most important world leader to have announced he’s contracted the virus,” said Al Jazeera’s Laurence Lee, reporting from London.

“The coronavirus has its epicentre in London – which is the epicentre of the country – and within that it has actually been centred around Westminster. Several people in Whitehall have all said they have got it, and Boris Johnson has obviously been in regular contact with all these people every day. So on one level, you can look at this and say ‘wow, the prime minister has coronavirus, that’s amazing’, but on another, it’s quite expected and not much of a surprise.

“He managed to get through a two-minute video on Twitter without coughing once, which is pretty amazing given an uncontrollable cough is one symptom.”

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has also announced he has the virus and will be in self-isolation, working from home.

“Fortunately for me, the symptoms so far have been very mild, so I’ve been able to carry on with the work of driving forward the UK response,” he said.

Desert locust is potentially the most dangerous of the locust pests because of the ability of swarms to fly rapidly across great distances; they can destroy about 192 million kilogrammes of vegetation in two days.

Desert locusts can live for up to five months, depending on weather. They can lay eggs that can hatch after two weeks, with locusts maturing to adulthood in two to four months on average.

The government of Uganda has procured 2,000 manual pumps and 18,000 litrers of cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos chemicals to fight against locust invasion.

According to Mr. Martin Owor, the Commissioner for Disaster Preparedness, in the Office of the Prime Minister, the process of spraying the pests will begin on Monday 1oth February 2020 and the ground surveillance teams are monitoring the movement of the swarms.

Kenya’s former President Daniel arap Moi has died at the age of 95.

He was seen by his critics as an authoritarian ruler who held on to power for 24 years, but his allies credited him for maintaining stability in the East African state.

Daniel arap Moi served as president from 1978 to 2002

Moi stepped down in 2002 after being constitutionally barred from running for a further term.

He was the country’s second president taking over after the death of Jomo Kenyatta in 1978.

In office, he was feared and admired in equal measure, and was accused of human rights abuses. Moi introduced multi-party politics in 1991, but subsequent elections were marred by rigging.

He was a more populist politician than Kenya’s first President Jomo Kenyatta and his legacy was tarnished by economic stagnation and accusations of corruption.

Daniel arap Moi

Moi, born on 2 September 1924 into a farming family, was a close ally of Kenyatta in the run-up to Kenyan independence in 1963.

He served as home affairs minister from 1964 and in 1967 he became the country’s vice-president.

Until the introduction of multi-party politics, Moi was unopposed as president, at elections in 1983 and 1988.

President Moi, pictured in Nairobi with then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1988, appeared to dominate almost every aspect of life in Kenya

He was elected for a further two terms in 1992 and 1997 in polls that were widely regarded as rigged.

While president, he appeared to dominate almost every aspect of life, an impression aided by the state-run media.

His critics see his rule as the lost years, a time when Kenya was bedevilled by corruption, ethnic conflicts and human rights abuses.

They say he stymied economic progress by personalising the state, using government resources to award loyalists and withholding them to punish those who did not toe the line.

For example, roads and factories were seen as gifts to be given and rewards for communities if their top politicians worked with the ruling party, Kanu. This entrenched a culture of political patronage that has become part of Kenyan politics.

But defenders of Moi’s legacy point to his often-repeated line that he kept Kenya “peaceful”, while several African countries were experiencing strife.

Presentational grey line

Remembering Moi

Dickens Olewe, BBC News Online

The debate about how Kenyans will mourn Moi began long before he succumbed to his recent health problems.

The 95-year-old was loved and loathed in equal measure; his supporters will mourn him as a patriot and a consummate politician who they fondly nicknamed “professor of politics”, but others will choose to remember him as a brutal dictator.

Defenders of Moi will point to his often-repeated line that he kept Kenya “safe and peaceful”, noting that while several African countries were imploding into civil war the country remained stable.

Whichever version of Moi is favoured, the legacy of one of the last surviving independence leaders lives on as many of today’s top politicians, including President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, were protégés of the second president.

Kenya has changed a lot since Moi left office but his influence can still be felt.
