Washington DC, 28th February 2023 - The Africa Futures Summit, held in Washington DC

Washington DC, 28th February 2023 - The Africa Futures Summit, held in Washington DC, saw experts come together to discuss two critical topics - "Building and strengthening foresight analysis in African futures" and "Africa's development potential in different global futures."

The first forum, "Building and strengthening foresight analysis in African futures," brought together experts in foresight analysis to discuss the importance of foresight analysis in shaping Africa's future. The panel discussed the need for African countries to develop a more comprehensive understanding of emerging trends and possible futures. They also emphasized the importance of investing in data collection and analysis as well as building institutional capacity in foresight analysis.

The second forum, "Africa's development potential in different global futures," focused on the economic and social factors that are likely to impact Africa's development in the coming years. The panel discussed the challenges and opportunities facing Africa in the context of global economic and social changes. They emphasized the need for African countries to diversify their economies and leverage technology to drive economic growth.

The discussions highlighted the following key points:

• African countries need to invest in data collection and analysis to support foresight analysis and informed decision-making.

• Foresight analysis should be integrated into policymaking at all levels of government to support long-term planning and development.

• African countries must diversify their economies and invest in technology to drive economic growth and development.

• Addressing political instability and corruption is critical to creating an enabling environment for business and entrepreneurship.

• International partnerships and collaborations can play an essential role in supporting Africa's development agenda.

STATEMENT FROM DR DANIEL KAWUMA- NUP TEAM LEADER USA ON THE LATE COUNSEL Wameli Anthony .

STATEMENT FROM DR DANIEL KAWUMA- NUP TEAM LEADER USA ON THE LATE

COUNSEL Wameli Anthony .

Dear Comrades and friends in the Ugandan Diaspora Community,

With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our beloved Counsel Anthony Wameli. As of this evening March 1st at 6pm EST, his body is on the flight to Uganda from Boston airport via Emirates airlines. We take solace in the knowledge that he lived a life of purpose and passion, and that his legacy will live on through the causes he championed.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who attended the memorial service, participated in the vigils, and provided support through fundraising for his family. Your presence and contributions have been invaluable during this difficult time and have given us all strength and comfort as we mourn the loss of a dear friend and comrade.

In times of grief, it is easy to feel alone and powerless. But you have shown the power of togetherness in the NUP Diaspora. Your presence and solidarity have demonstrated that we can achieve great things when we work together. As the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

I would also like to extend my deepest appreciation to the organizers of the events and to everyone who worked tirelessly to ensure their success. Your commitment and dedication have been truly remarkable, and we could not have achieved this without you.

To the family of Counsel Wameli, we extend our deepest sympathies and prayers. We pray for strength and comfort during this difficult time, and we hope that the funeral arrangements in Uganda will bring closure and peace.

We would also like to acknowledge the NUP Secretary General David Lewis and Hon. Derrick Nyeko for traveling and being part of the memorial service in Boston. Your presence was greatly appreciated, and it demonstrated the depth of your commitment towards the grieving family.

Once again, I would like to thank you all for the unwavering support and dedication. Let us continue to come together in times of need and build a community rooted in love, compassion, and justice.

May the Lord bless you all abundantly. Rest in Peace Counsel Wameli!

Sincerely,

Dr. Daniel Kawuma

Flux core welding is a shielding gas metal arc welding process that makes use of an inert gas to protect the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination. Flux core welding is suited to many applications, especially general fabrication work. The benefits of flux cored arc welding are:·

A wide range of base metals can be welded, including steel, stainless steel, nickel, copper, brass, aluminum and magnesium, etc.·

Flux core arc welding produces the highest strength joint among all types of arc welding (except for laser beam welding).·

It has very high deposition rates (up to 23 mm per pass).·

Flux cored arc welding also produces the best joint appearance among all types of arc welding.

Our aim is to provide you with all the resources you need to learn how to Flux Core Welding Training.Flux Core Welding Training – Flux Core welding Training South AfricaFlux Core welding Training is very similar to that of gas Tungsten arc welding (GTAW) in that it also uses an externally supplied shielding gas mixture, in this case argon instead of helium. The advantages of Flux Core are in ively for welding a wide range of steels and other metals, particularly in maintenance and repair work.

Flux-cored arc welding is increasingly being used on new vehicle body panels. In this case, the weld passes through a panel on an assembly line on its way to being painted, thereby avoiding any pre- or post-welding paint contamination. The need for a consumable filler wire is an important cost factor in t

The History and Life of Former Security Minister General Elly Tumwine

BM T.V Africa Brings the History and Life of Former Security Minister General Elly Tumwine



General Elly Tumwine (, was a Ugandan military officer, professional artist, and educator. He was the former Security Minister in the Cabinet of Uganda, from March 2018 until 2021. He retired from active military service in July 2022.

He served as commander of the National Resistance Army from 1984 to 1987. He was one of the highest-ranking members of the Ugandan military who recently called on police to shoot at protesters, he also ordered the military to kidnap, illegally incarcerate and sent opposition members to be tried in military courts based on trumped up charges which resulted in Bobi Wine supporters suing for Human Rights violations. This led United States of America to sanction the Ugandan Generals over Human rights abuses. He was also a member of the Ugandan Parliament, representing the Uganda People's Defence Force.

Early life and education
Elly Tumwine was born on 12 April 1954, in Burunga, Mbarara District. He attended Burunga Primary School, Mbarara High School and St. Henry's College Kitovu, before joining Makerere University, where in 1977, he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art together with the Diploma in Education; abbreviated:BA (FA)/Dip. Ed. He specialized in the history of art painting.

He subsequently graduated from the Cadet Officers Course at the Tanzania Military Academy at Monduli. He also attended the Senior Command Course at the Uganda Senior Command and Staff College at Kimaka, in Jinja, Uganda, being a member of the pioneer class that graduated in 2005.[5] Tumwine also holds further military qualifications from the military academy in Vystry, in the Soviet Union.

Human Rights
Elly Tumwine has regularly been connected to violence against Ugandans. After Bobi Wine was arrested on 18 November 2020 in Luuka, protests broke out which were met with excessive violence. Elly Tumwine told the public that the police have the right “to shoot you and kill you.

Military career
In 1978, he interrupted his teaching career to join the FRONASA forces led by Yoweri Museveni to fight the Idi Amin regime. In 1981, when Museveni went to the bush to form the National Resistance Army (NRA), Elly Tumwine went with him. He is reported to have fired the first shot in the National Resistance Army War, which propelled the National Resistance Army and National Resistance Movement into power in Uganda in 1986.[6] During the fighting between the NRA and the UNLA, Tumwine sustained facial injuries that led to loss of sight in one eye. In 1984, Tumwine was named Commander of the Army, a post he held until 1987, when he was succeeded by General Salim Saleh. Over the years, he served in various positions, including:

Minister of State for Defence in 1989.
Director General of the External Security Organization (ESO) from 1994 until 1996.
Presidential Adviser from 1996 until 1998
Chairman of the High Command Appeals Committee from 1986 until 1999.
He was also continuously represented the UPDF in the Ugandan Parliament since 1986.

In September 2005, he was promoted to the rank of general in the UPDF and named to chair the UPDF General Court Marshal.

On Monday 16 May 2022, Tumwiine was among 34 generals who were retired from the UPDF
