Kitakule said this growth is being driven by increased public awareness of Rotary’s work in key focus areas such as water and sanitation, disease prevention, environmental protection, maternal and child health, education, and literacy. “Ugandans are embracing the culture of giving back. When people see impactful projects, they ask how they can be part of it.” Diversity and inclusion The Rotary Club of Kololo Summit View stands out for its diversity, bringing together Ugandans, Indians of Ugandan origin, and members of the Indian community. “This club reflects diversity, equity, and inclusion. It brings together people from different backgrounds who live…

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have rejected a bipartisan deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and instead approved a different plan, prolonging the shutdown that has caused huge delays at airports. Their Senate colleagues backed a bill that would have reopened most of DHS but excluded funding for immigration agencies to garner support from Democrats, who oppose funding immigration enforcement without reforms. House Republican leaders rejected this, with Speaker Mike Johnson labelling the Senate bill a “joke”. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents, who manage US airport security, have not been paid in more than a…

The Maldives has formally told Britain that it does not recognise the UK’s deal to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, opening a new diplomatic challenge over one of the Indian Ocean’s most contested territories. The dispute adds fresh pressure to an agreement that has already faced legal and political opposition in Britain and among some Chagossians. According to reports, Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu said his government would not accept the arrangement, arguing that the deal fails to reflect the Maldives’ position and regional interests. The objection comes as Britain continues defending the agreement it reached with Mauritius,…

FBI Director Kash Patel is facing criticism after reports that he has pushed to release documents tied to a decade old FBI investigation involving Representative Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat and longtime Trump critic. The Washington Post reported on March 28 that Patel wants the material made public even though there is no public evidence that Swalwell committed wrongdoing. The documents reportedly relate to the earlier FBI investigation into Christine Fang, a woman suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence who had contact with Swalwell years ago. According to the reporting, the old investigation did not produce public evidence of…

American families pursuing Italian citizenship say they have been left shocked and frustrated after Italy’s tougher ancestry based citizenship rules shut the door on many long running applications. Italy changed its law in March 2025, limiting eligibility mainly to people with an Italian parent or grandparent, a major shift from the old system that allowed claims through more distant ancestry. The controversy has grown again after Italy’s Constitutional Court upheld the tougher framework in March 2026, reinforcing the government’s effort to narrow who can qualify through jure sanguinis, or citizenship by descent. Reports say the decision could affect millions of…

Issa Diop made his international debut for Morocco on Friday, adding a fresh layer to the growing dispute between Morocco and Senegal following the controversial Africa Cup of Nations final. The Fulham defender, who was born in France to a Senegalese father and Moroccan mother, started in Morocco’s 1 to 1 friendly draw against Ecuador just hours after FIFA approved his switch of nationality. Diop had long kept his international options open, previously declining approaches from both Morocco and Senegal while hoping for a possible France call up. His eventual decision to represent Morocco is being seen as both a…

Thousands of anti Trump demonstrations took place across the United States on Saturday under the “No Kings” banner, as protesters gathered in cities and towns across all 50 states to oppose what organizers described as growing authoritarianism in Washington. Reuters reported that more than 3,200 rallies were held nationwide, making it the third major national mobilization by the movement. The protests drew attention to a range of issues, including immigration enforcement, executive power, and the ongoing war involving Iran. Large crowds were reported in major cities such as New York, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Washington, while turnout also rose in smaller…

Iran’s national football team staged a silent protest on Friday to honor victims of the deadly Shajareh Tayyebeh School attack, holding small pink and purple schoolbags before a friendly match against Nigeria in Antalya, Turkey. Players also wore black armbands during the national anthem in a gesture of mourning and solidarity. The tribute came nearly a month after the February 28 strike on the primary school in Minab, southern Iran, which killed more than 170 students and teachers, according to Iranian officials. A United Nations inquiry has opened an investigation into the attack, while U.N. rights chief Volker Türk has…

President Donald Trump’s second term is increasingly defined by decisions that push the limits of executive power, especially in matters tied to war, immigration, and federal authority. Reuters reported this week that he is under rising pressure over the Iran war, with public support dropping as fuel prices rise and questions grow over how far the administration can go without wider political backing. A Reuters/Ipsos poll published March 24 found his approval rating at 36%, with 61% of respondents disapproving of the Iran strikes. The deeper issue is not only whether voters support a single action, but what happens when…

Rural hospitals across the United States are facing growing pressure as financial strain, staffing shortages, and reimbursement challenges continue to put many facilities at risk. A recent Reuters graphic report highlighted how vulnerable these hospitals have become, especially in communities where they are often the only nearby source of emergency and inpatient care. The issue goes beyond healthcare access alone. When a rural hospital closes, it can leave entire communities with longer travel times for treatment, delayed emergency response, and fewer local jobs. Health experts say the problem reflects deeper weaknesses in how care is funded and delivered in underserved…
