Man's suffering

If you are a believer in God, and work in a pediatric ward or explore man’s suffering, you can either hate God or love him or just throw away the whole idea that God exists, especially the unfathomable and ‘mockery’ one that insists that God is good.

Children Suffer

As I look at refugees hustling through crowds and uneasy places for safety, my eyes easily land on the young kids being pulled along or held by their arms.

In his COVID-19 speech last evening, President Museveni said something terrible. In every way, the president just supported COVID-19 commercialization efforts. To be exact, the president insisted that evacuating the sick from their homes or villages should be done at their own cost! In just a sentence, he privatized the whole public ambulance and emergency [...]read moreCOVID-19 Commercialization: Evacuate the sick at their cost-Museveni
