United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Fillippo Grandi

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Fillippo Grandi has appealed to the international community to double their effort in bringing the conflict in South Sudan to an end because the war is contributing to the largest influx of refugees.

Addressing a joint press conference with the Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda on the situation of refugees in the country recently,Grand said that the UN refugee appeal for South Sudanese refugees regionally has not attracted enough funding from the international community, yet they are the ones who need  urgent support. .
Grand also commended Uganda for its reception to the refugees but urged Government to continue playing its role in pursuing peace in South Sudan.

However Rugunda said that Uganda will continue welcoming refugees with or without any support from Europe.

According to statistics, at the end of last year, Uganda was the eighth largest refugee hosting country in the world, and so far 163,000 refugees have arrived in the country fleeing war in South Sudan, DRC, Burundi among others only this year.

Addressing participants at the 4^th Africa Day Conference in Ljublijana Slovenia May 19^th, Speaker Kadaga said the migration of many Africans to Europe is conditioned mainly by unemployment. “Everybody loves their country. Those who leave do so because the situation is not good for them like in Libya and Somalia. I think it is important for Europe to invest in Africa to improve the economic and political conditions of the people living there,” she said.

Speaker Kadaga attributed the immigration problems across the high seas to the search for opportunities and a better livelihood. “I think if you are to support Africa and reduce migration to Europe, it is very important to create investments on the continent. No African wants to leave their home but this is conditioned by lack of opportunities”, she told Conference delegates.

Rt.Hon. Kadaga noted that the African continent is generally endowed with manpower but still needs support to improve living conditions. She rallied investors to come to Uganda which she described as a good destination for investment with its current political and economic conditions. The Speaker emphasized that the current population of unemployed graduates in Uganda provides a good human resource for investment.

“Uganda has opportunities in the mineral sector, tourism and value addition for agriculture products. Slovenians can also visit Uganda for cultural and religious tourism. The current legal framework supports private sector investment“ she added.

David Stride has finally met his biological family members in Bristol United Kingdom (UK), among the family Peter Stride, Yvone Stride, Hilary Stride, uncle Patrick Stride 84 years old. Some of his family members live in Sound Well, Bristol. They are Ruth Stride Samore, Anthony Stride, and Silvia Stride Skundah, she is an author of learning books, and lives in Canada. Some of the books Skundah has published include ‘Lutembe Crocodile, the Night Sky, and Animal 1,2,3’ among other books.

David Stride was one of the children the British colonialists left in Uganda during the time they colonized Africa. While David Stride was in Uganda, he felt not settled to stay in a country where he had no biological family members. He unsuccessfully traced his family members in Europe. One day, he met with a journalist called Walakira Nyanzi. This journalist works with the Red Pepper but part times with Ultimate Media, one of the leading online media houses in Uganda.  David Stride told him his problems and the journalists published them on both www.ugpulse.com and www.weinformers.net. As lack may come, David Stride’s family members in UK also launched a hunt for him. He is now in UK. He says that his family members, brothers and sisters have treated him very well and they have been good to him.

David Stride’s father was a big scientist who discovered DDT and those DRUGS that fight cotton weaves. His name was Dr. George Oliva Stride. He died in 1994 in Samore Island.

David Stride told our reporter in an interview that his sisters, uncles and brothers are treating him like a baby, they are also seeking him citizenship, because their father needed to do it but he could not find him because David had been lost in Africa.

David, as most Ugandans call him, is a musician. He is the man behind the following hits ‘African freedom fighters, agutamba entale yatooro and we live in a strange world.’ David born in Africa, made the songs with his daughter Elytra Stride real names Daphin Stride, she is 18 years old now. David also got a promoter who will meet his music tours across Europe. He (David) also says he will never forget his comrades in Uganda like Walakira Nyanzi who used to feed him when he was poor and discriminated by some of the political actors in Kampala government and some members of the Ugandan public.

But David left his family in Uganda, a country where its people hardly receive two meals a day and thousands of citizens die of simple diseases because there is no drugs in hospitals and the money that might have been used to buy drugs is being stolen by some government officials. David Stride says that he also wants to access dual citizenship,

As usual the Europeans and Americans feel touched and embrace them. Some Ugandans bribe the press to publish some reports that so and so has fled the country because he was facing charges related to homosexuality. Originally hundreds of Ugandans were fleeing to Europe and America under disguise that the government is planning to kill them. One of Ugandans who is in USA now tells us that Europeans and Americans welcome and give support to people who have fled Uganda due to persecution over homosexuality.

The same groups of Ugandans who flee to Europe and USA that they are persecuted because they are homosexuals, they preach against homosexuality when they return home. Here in Uganda, many youth who in their hearts hate homosexuality camouflage as homos and swindle millions of dollars from Europeans.

Doctoral Scholarships in Law, Science and Technology: There are excellent fellowship opportunities for students accepted to the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate programme in “Law, Science and Technology.”

Fellowships can be awarded to doctoral candidates, selected by EM LAST-JD consortium, who come from a country other than:

• a Member State of the European Union
• an EEA-EFTA State (i.e. Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein)

The Joint International Doctoral Degree in “Law, Science and Technology” is an interdisciplinary integrated doctorate designed to address new challenges in legal, socio-ethical and technical domains arising from the information society and newly emerging technologies.

There are rapidly evolving sectors of Information Technology andLife Sciences that need legal and ethical instruments for avoiding malpractice and for shaping policies and strategies in conducting scientific research and disseminating its results to industry and society.

New opportunities emerge to use Information Technology to face the complexity of Law in contemporary society. All this requires a set of interdisciplinary competencies that are usually lacking in the graduate market due to a lack of vision and strategy.

The “Law, Science and Technology” doctorate aims to address the problem of fragmentation that exists in Europe in this interdisciplinary area, by setting up a robust doctoral programme inspired by the Stanford programme in Law, Science and Technology, while also addressing the unique requirements of Europe by looking at the impact of European cultural identities on ethical, medical and legal discussion, as well as at the specifics of European regulations.

The programme covers three different research fields with its curricula:

• “Bioethics and Biolaw”, which looks at the legal and ethical problems of advances in biology and medicine;
• “ICT Law”, addressing the legal risks and opportunities in ICT, and
• “Legal Informatics”, an area of informatics taking into account legal issues, including alI techniques applied to legal domain.
