Context, one of the basics of journalism, is important: Clarification On Misleading Reporting by NTV Uganda Our attention has been drawn to a news story recently aired by NTV - Uganda which, through its framing and reporting, significantly distorted a message intended for public safety and national stability. We wish to state categorically that the framing presented by the NTV reporter, implying that threats of violence were issued against voters is false, misleading, and an inaccurate reflection of both the substance and intention of the original message. The original statement was a cautionary appeal rooted in safeguarding human life. It was specifically directed at the youth, urging them to exercise wisdom and avoid being manipulated into participating in street violence, riots, or unlawful gatherings. The core of the message emphasised: 1. Protection of the Vulnerable: Recognising that those who incite violence often remain in safety while young people face the brunt of law enforcement. 2. Public Order: A call for calm and responsible conduct to ensure that the democratic process is not marred by chaos. 3. Democratic Rights: At no point was the message intended to intimidate voters or discourage any citizen from exercising their constitutional right to vote. The suggestion by NTV - Uganda that this advisory constituted a "threat" to peaceful citizens is a grave distortion. Such reporting fails to provide the full context and risks inciting unnecessary fear and tension among the public. We believe this misinterpretation stems from a lack of attentiveness to the constructive nature of the appeal. We urge all media houses to practice responsible and accurate journalism, particularly on sensitive national matters. Misleading headlines and biased framing only serve to undermine the peace they claim to protect. We reiterate our call to the citizens of Uganda: Go out and vote peacefully, and thereafter, return home safely. We remain committed to a peaceful election where every Ugandan can vote without fear.

Ugandan Airforce Supports President Salva Kiir’s Government in Emergency Humanitarian Aid Operation Kampala, Thursday, 29 May, 2025 The Uganda People’s Defence Airforce (UPDAF) has in the past few days airdropped hundreds of metric tonnes in emergency food aid to hard-hit areas of South Sudan’s northern Upper Nile State where thousands of displaced people are currently living in famine conditions following the outbreak of armed violence in the region earlier this year. The humanitarian aid deliveries provided by a coalition of international partners is airlifted by UPDAF from Juba International Airport to the Ulang and Nasir Counties of the Upper Nile state. Since March 2025, fighting has pitted the government’s South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) against the Sudan People’s Liberation Army In Opposition (SPLA-IO), a Nuer tribal militia group that is allied to incarcerated 1st Vice President of South Sudan Dr Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon. The SPLA-IO, also known as the White Army, is accused of conducting widespread massacres against the rival Dinka communities and other ethnic groups in the region. The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) at the request of South Sudan authorities deployed an expeditionary force to the country in March 2025, helping to support the SSPDF in rear security operations to secure the capital Juba as well as provide other military technical assistance. The security situation around the greater Juba region has since stabilized, easing tensions which have since allowed foreign missions, businesses, and trade to boom again.
