Let harmony and peace prevail in Lango cultural institutions. Security Protocols Were adequate security measures in place to prevent the escalation of the situation? Hope we have an investigation into the incident to ensure those responsible are held accountable? Local authorities ensure that the rights of all individuals involved are respected and protected !

This guy is not worthy being even a clan leader in Lango. Few years back he was deported from the US for beating his wife.

Violent man everywhere. Beats wife, now this. Our diplomats are uncensored and poorly vetted.

Drawing a pistol in a meeting full of elders and community members is beyond unacceptable and a disgrace to his position as a diplomat. How dare he think it's acceptable to act like a gun-slinging cowboy to impose his unwanted presence!Who the hell does he think he is to endanger

UNTAMED POWER? Here is the longer video showing the Charge d’ Affaires of the Ugandan Embassy in Khartoum Amb. Dickson Ogwang Okul being disarmed at a function at the Lango Cultural Center in Lira earlier today. The Ambassador was wrestled to the ground after he drew his pistol when asked to live the meeting. You shall recall, a few years ago the former deputy Ambassador to the United States was "kicked out" (asked to return home) for domestic violence in the US. No doubt, there is nothing Diplomatic about his character and actions. Obsession with untamed power. Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Uganda 🇺🇬 #Uganda

“I have a right to clap… drag me out.” A physics teacher was arrested for clapping a speaker who criticised a planned data centre at a public meeting in the US last week. Lux Claridge was dragged away by police at the meeting in Emporia, Kansas, prompting a plea of “please don’t hurt them” from the resident who had been speaking. Attendees at the meeting had been warned to avoid “snapping, clapping” and “rude comments” by mayor Becky Smith, but Claridge insisted he had a right to applaud speakers. "Claridge did not comply with law enforcement's efforts to remove him from the premises, requiring officers to physically carry him out of the meeting," Emporia police said in a statement. He was charged with disorderly conduct and interference with law enforcement then released on bail. His trial is set for September and he plans to plead not guilty. Residents attended the 22 July meeting to oppose the planned Flint Hills Digital Campus data centre.

“During the First Intifada, the Stone Intifada, our efforts were focused inside the occupied homeland. Then one of our brothers, Dr. Khalil al-Qouqa, was deported [by 'Israel' from Gaza]. At the Leader's [i.e., Ayatollah Khamenei's] instruction, he was sought out, located, and contacted. A meeting with Hamas was requested, and the first meeting took place. The initiative came from Mr. Ali Khamenei, who instructed one of the officials of the Islamic Republic to travel from Iran to where Dr. Khalil—Sheikh Khalil al-Qouqa—was staying at the time and invite him to a meeting. The Iranian official then arranged a meeting with a delegation representing the movement as a whole. After that, a delegation from the movement traveled to Tehran to participate in the Conference in Support of the Intifada in 1991. Then came the first official visit by a leadership delegation from the movement, in October 1992, headed by Musa Abu Marzouk. […] In this meeting, he outlined the course of the relationship as he saw it. He [Seyyed Khameini] remarked that it is our religious and legal responsibility to support you […] This was the path laid out from the very first meeting, and it remained a constant […] despite all the changes in the regional, international, and Palestinian political landscape.” In a new interview (recorded Friday, July 3, 2026), Hamas political bureau member and Lebanon representative Osama Hamdan delineates the beginnings of the Hamas movement’s relationship with Iran to al-Alam TV.

Meet Mohammed Javed who is an Islamic teacher at a mosque, from the accent it's in the Birmingham area. He thought he was grooming a 15-year-old boy. Mohammed thought he was meeting up for sexual activity & asked the boy to wash, which I construe as his anus. He was arrested.

The meeting was canceled by the State Department after they learned of it.

City Journal learned that Commissioner Archila allegedly did not inform Mayor Mamdani of the meeting; she was reprimanded for the move and directed to cancel the meeting according to the source familiar with the office.”

LA Lakers frontman Lebron James details meeting Jay-Z when he was just 15 years old in a hotel Suite before he was drafted to the NBA. It’s unclear why ? Jay-Z (age 31 at the time) was introduced to LeBron by Williams Wesley (age 38 at the time) who was LeBron’s agent at the time. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Jay-Z has been recently named in the Epstein files. Him meeting with little boys in hotel rooms isn’t a good look when you think about recent accusations against him. Why was a grown man meeting a little boy in a hotel and becoming his friend ?

In May 2022, while I was in Mombasa, William Ruto called me and asked me to come meet him in Karen when I returned. When I got there, he wasn’t around. I waited for some time and eventually sent him a message saying I was leaving. He called me back and told me he was meeting “some three gentlemen.” I asked, “Which ones?” He told me himself: Wafula Chebukati, Abdi Guliye, and Boya Molu. This was just two days before he named Rigathi Gachagua as his running mate. They were meeting at the main house in Karen, not at the IEBC offices. The meeting was not official, and even the people who were coming there didn’t know it was happening. I don’t know what was discussed, but what I do know is that from that meeting, William Ruto was very confident he would win the 2022 elections.
