"body": "________________\n\nBELGIUM -- Water-bombing aircraft and farmers' tractors joined forces Sunday to help firefighters tame Belgium's largest modern-day wildfire, which has scorched vast swathes of a hard-to-reach nature reserve near the German border.\n\nThe blaze has mushroomed to 3,000 hectares (7,500 acres) two days after breaking out in the High Fens park, an area of boggy peatlands and pine forests popular with hikers.\n\nArea firefighting chief Luc Burette said that \"if we cannot contain the fire\" there was a risk it could spill over the German border just a stone's throw to the east.\n\n\"We're hanging in there, because everyone wants this fire put out,\" Gregory Melotte, one of several hundred firefighters and emergency workers deployed on site, told AFP. He was working his third shift in as many days.\n\n\"We've really limited the damage to stop it from taking hold in the tall fir trees\" -- but the blaze was not yet \"under control\", he conceded.\n\nA huge area straddling the border has been blanketed by a thick plume of yellowish smoke, prompting the partial evacuation of two Belgian villages. Around 20 people spent the night in a local sports hall.\n\nLocal farmers join fight\n\nThe German town of Monschau also advised residents living closest to the fire to evacuate -- saying the front was just 1.8 kilometres (1.1 miles) from the first inhabited areas.",

"title": "First oil and beyond: The road to a $500b economy",
"body": "Rather than viewing oil revenues as an end in themselves, they should strengthen productive sectors across the economy\n\nWhen President Museveni met the Uganda Cranes following their exit from Afcon 2025, he drew on his military experience to deliver a lesson that transcended football.\n\nHe reminded the players that every force has an Area of Responsibility (AOR), and success depends on each person effectively executing their assigned role.\n\nIf all players rush forward in attack while neglecting defence, gaps emerge that opponents can exploit. That lesson resonates with Uganda's development journey as the country prepares for first oil and economic transformation.\n\nMinister of Finance Henry Musasizi outlined a five-pillar programme to accelerate growth, centred on expanding Uganda's economy tenfold, from about $50b to $500b by 2040.\n\nMusasizi noted that this would be driven by fiscal discipline, strategic investment and prudent management of anticipated oil revenues.\n\nThis places petroleum at the heart of Uganda's economic future. Oil can catalyse industrialisation, infrastructure development, energy security and broader growth.\n\nBut natural resources alone do not guarantee prosperity. Their transformative power depends on effective management and integration into the wider economy.\n\nHere, the President's analogy of AORs becomes particularly relevant. Achieving a $500b economy cannot be the responsibility of a single ministry, agency or sector.\n\nIt requires a coordinated national effort in which every institution understands and executes its mandate.\n\nThe Ministry of Finance must ensure fiscal management and resource allocation. Regulators must uphold transparency.\n\nInfrastructure agencies must deliver projects efficiently. The private sector must invest, innovate and create jobs, while educational institutions must equip Ugandans with skills for a modern economy.\n\nEach stakeholder has an AOR. Just as military operations succeed through unity of command, discipline and clarity of purpose, Uganda's economic transformation will depend on effective coordination among all actors.\n\nFailure within one AOR can weaken the entire system. Weak oversight, inefficient allocation, delays, or governance failures could undermine oil opportunities.\n\nConversely, effective institutions allow the country to advance with purpose. Expected oil revenues present Uganda with an opportunity to make strategic investments that generate long-term value.\n\nRather than viewing oil revenues as an end in themselves, they should strengthen productive sectors across the economy.\n\nInvestment in transport infrastructure, energy generation, agricultural value chains, industrial parks, technology, health, and education can create multiplier effects that extend beyond the lifespan of the oil fields. Equally important are major petroleum infrastructure projects underway.\n\nThe refinery, East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) and future gas projects will support Uganda's petroleum industry while strengthening regional economic integration and energy security.\n\nThese projects can position Uganda as a regional energy hub, creating opportunities for local businesses, jobs and industrial growth.\n\nApplying the military doctrine of AOR, each institution must remain focused on its assigned role, ensuring agreed targets, policies and development plans are faithfully executed. Uganda has articulated an ambitious economic destination.\n\nReaching it will depend not only on resources beneath the ground, but also on the discipline, coordination and effectiveness of institutions.\n\nThrough strong institutions, prudent fiscal management and strategic investment in productive and sustainable projects, Uganda can bridge the gap between vision and implementation, turning the ambition of a $500b economy into a tangible national achievement.",

"title": "Holding the CBR: What Bank of Uganda is pitching to investors",
"body": "BoU's rate hold looks uneventful. But beneath the calm lies a bigger story: disciplined monetary policy, rising debt, oil-era uncertainty, and a central bank betting that consistency earns investor confidence\n\nThere is something intriguing about markets: moments that look most boring on the surface are often where the real signal hides.\n\nA central bank that changes nothing, month after month, can tell you more about how the world works than one making dramatic moves, because holding steady, done properly, is a choice.\n\nLast Thursday, Bank of Uganda maintained its Central Bank Rate (CBR) at 9.75 percent, the seventh straight hold.\n\nPrices rose faster in July; inflation rose to 4 percent from 3.7 percent, almost all from one place: energy.\n\nFuel and electricity prices rose by 14.9 percent, driven by pricier petrol and a weaker shilling.\n\nBut \"core inflation\", which represents prices of food and fuel stripped out, stayed exactly where it was, at 3.4 percent.\n\nWhen oil gets more expensive, that is a one-time hit. Petrol costs more, so transport costs more.\n\nThat isn't real inflation yet. Real inflation happens when workers demand higher pay because everything feels pricier, businesses raise prices to cover wages, and the cycle feeds itself.\n\nEconomists call this a wage-price spiral. Core inflation shows whether that spiral has started. In Uganda, it hasn't.\n\nThis lesson comes from hard experience. Every time oil prices spiked, in 1973, 1979, 1990, 2008, central banks tightened immediately, or waited to see if the shocks spread.\n\nBut today, you have to watch the numbers and act without panicking.\n\nBank of Uganda Governor Michael Atingi-Ego was asked why the central bank raised the Cash Reserve Requirement by 1.5 points earlier this year, and not the CBR.\n\nThe main rate is like turning a ship's wheel because it takes months to feel, and once turned, people assume a new course for a while.\n\nThe Cash Reserve Requirement is more like a valve: it forces banks to lock away more deposits instead of lending.\n\nNobody could predict how long the Israel-Iran war would last, so, Atingi-Ego said: \"we did not know the duration of the conflict.\"\n\nSo instead of committing the Central Bank Rate (CBR) to a guess about a war's length, Bank of Uganda used the Cash Reserve Requirement, which is quick and easy to reverse, pulling about Shs700b to Shs800b out of the market.\n\n\"It would be much easier to lower the Cash Reserve Requirement than to lower the CBR,\" he said.\n\nWeak shilling and rising debt\n\nThe shilling has weakened by 4.7 percent over the past year. But Atingi-Ego argues that \"intervention is based on smoothing out excessive volatility,\" which \"to the best of my knowledge,\" has not shown up.\n\nBut away from the shilling, debt numbers seem to matter more than the CBR.\n\nOne figure worth remembering above all: about Shs40 cents of every shilling Uganda Revenue Authority collects now goes to paying debt.\n\nThat matters, because it influences interest rate costs. Economists judge debt sustainability with a comparison of whether the interest charged on debt is lower than the economy's growth rate.\n\nIf growth beats the interest cost, a country can carry debt and shrink it over time. If not, debt snowballs regardless of budget discipline.\n\nUganda's growth forecast of 7 to 7.5 percent next year, around 8 percent over the medium term, is fast enough that this math currently favours it.\n\nGovernment's defence is that the money mostly funds productive things like the oil export pipeline and hydropower, and others, not day-to-day spending.\n\nWhether that holds, especially with an oil windfall approaching, is the biggest question mark over Uganda's finances.\n\nUganda also has a legal system for managing its oil income. The Petroleum Revenue Investment Reserve works like a savings account for oil money. Some of the money can be used for development, while some is saved for the future.\n\nGovernment is, therefore, trying to put good habits in place before the oil money starts flowing. That is a sensible approach.\n\nThe bigger test, however, will be whether the country sticks to those rules once billions in oil revenue begin to arrive.\n\nThe world has stopped cutting rates\n\nGoing into 2026, almost every major central bank, rich or poor, was cutting rates or comfortably holding.\n\nAlmost all have since paused, reversed, or turned aggressive around one cause: the Israel-Iran war and the oil spike it caused, with Brent briefly touching $100 to $113 a barrel in April before easing.\n\nLow-developing countries' central banks usually react to US Federal Reserve, since higher US rates pull money out of emerging markets.\n\nIt's unusual for everyone to react to the same shock at once. The closest comparison is 1973 and 1979, when oil shocks forced central banks everywhere into the same defensive posture, despite very different starting inflation levels.\n\nKenya has stopped 10 straight rate cuts and has held twice since, resisting pressure from its own banks to hike.\n\nSouth Africa raised its rate in May for the first time in three years, because heavy energy imports let the shock hit food and core prices faster.\n\nHow exposed a country is to an oil shock mostly comes down to whether it imports or exports energy, which is why reactions differ so much even among similar economies.\n\nEurope's central bank, after eight straight cuts between mid-2024 and mid-2025, hiked in June 2026 for the first time since 2023, and held again in July, for the same reason as South Africa. Europe imports most of its energy.\n\nThe Bank of England, still cutting as recently as late 2025, now expects inflation to peak near 3.2 percent and has shelved further cuts.\n\nThe Fed held all year, but sentiment shifted from expecting cuts to pricing one or two hikes by year's end.\n\nUS, a net oil exporter, faces a smaller shock, since higher prices help producers as much as they hurt consumers.\n\nJapan is raising rates for its own reason of genuine, long-overdue inflation, but the same energy story is pushing it along too.\n\nThe pattern here is that countries that import most of their energy, like Europe, Britain, and South Africa, reacted hard and fast, because the shock hits their trade balance directly.\n\nCountries with some oil production, such as the US and now Uganda, have had more room to stay calm.\n\nThe real pitch to investors\n\nAt the end of the August monetary policy committee meeting, Atingi-Ego said: \"the central bank will do whatever it takes to ensure that macroeconomic stability that we have so enjoyed... is maintained.\"\n\nHe backed it up by noting that there had been predictions of election-time currency and inflation trouble, but it never happened. By saying this, he is selling credibility, proven again and again.\n\nBank of Uganda uses two policy tools: a floating currency defended only against genuine chaos, honesty about the debt problem, and oil savings built before the oil money shows up.\n\nNone of this guarantees Uganda avoids the fate of other resource economies because the debt burden is real and rising.\n\nBut institutions that behave this consistently, shock after shock, are usually the ones markets stop charging extra risk for.",

"title": "Sports: Volleyball federation sets sh493m budget for 2026/27",
"body": "The Uganda Volleyball Federation (UVF) has proposed a sh493m budget for the 2026/27 season as it seeks to strengthen grassroots development and take the sport to another level.\n\nThe budget was presented by treasurer Moses Opio and received during the federation's annual general assembly at Nob View Hotel on August 15, 2026, with increased revenue from domestic and international competitions providing optimism about the federation's financial position.\n\n\"The recently concluded Zone IV Championships improved our revenue because we were able to collect sh144 million. The international players who are playing in Rwanda and the Middle East have also helped to improve our revenue,\" stated UVF treasurer Moses Opio.\n\nThe federation believes the growing number of Ugandan players earning a living from volleyball abroad is helping to supplement its internally generated income through international transfer certificates.\n\nOpio explained that the contribution of these international players has given the federation more room to invest in the development of the sport at grassroots level.\n\n\"Their contribution to the federation's income is why UVF is setting aside more money for grassroots development in the new budget,\" he said.\n\nThe federation plans to use part of the proposed budget to support regional volleyball through equipment and preparations, while also improving the quality of competitions.\n\n\"We need to invest in the grassroots development of the game. Looking at our current budget, we have been able to set aside money for grassroots development in the regions in terms of equipment and preparations. The regional side came from the federation,\" Opio explained.\n\nThe federation also wants to increase its income streams to create a more sustainable financial model.\n\n\"Congress has given us advice on how best we can improve by increasing our income streams. We need to take our league to another level by moving games back indoors,\" he added.",

"title": "Why Buddu is excited about the new Daudi Chwa II stadium - The Observer Media Ltd",
"body": "It is projected that by 2028, the Ssekabaka Daudi Chwa II stadium will be up and running in the City of Masaka courtesy of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).\n\nSir Daudi Chwa is a former Kabaka of Buganda. In fact, he is the grandfather of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi, which makes it unsurprising that it is after him that this latest project was chosen to be named.\n\nYet, considering how Uganda has for many years continued to struggle with sports infrastructure, EACOP's decision to partner with the Buganda Kingdom to construct a 10,000 seater stadium at the County (Ssaza) headquarters of Buddu is undoubtedly a big deal.\n\nThe project to construct the Kabaka Daudi Chwa II EACOP stadium was officially launched at the end of July 2026 amidst great excitement. The Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga noted that Buganda cherished this great collaboration with EACOP because it was going to address the critical needs of Uganda such as youth empowerment.\n\nConsidering that the greater population of Uganda comprises of people below the age of 20, a number of youth are involved in sport. Therefore, this new stadium, according to Mayiga, will provide growth opportunities for many people.\n\nBut at the same time, this stadium in its true nature is a legacy of resilience, considering that it is a long term investment. The construction of this stadium, which is expected to last two years, is already ongoing, following the groundbreaking ceremony on July 23 in Buddu.\n\nInside sources revealed that it is expected to cost billions of shillings. Because it is in honour of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II, who signed off the land, where the current Nakivubo stadium is, back in the 1920s, this new stadium is expected to have not only a football field, but also netball, basketball and volleyball courts.\n\nAlthough this stadium is only expected to be ready after the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, it is projected to be a state-of-the-art facility, covering 10 acres, which were provided by the Buganda Kingdom to fulfill a shared vision with EACOP.\n\nThis vision is aimed to foster sustainable regional development in Masaka and the surrounding areas. There is hope that upon its completion, it will drive community transformation.\n\nAccording to John Bosco Habumugisha, the deputy managing director of EACOP, this stadium initiative will deliver lasting value to the people within which their company operates.\n\nIt should be noted that the erection of this stadium facility will be a timely boost for the Buddu county football team, who have in the past played their games at Masaka Recreation Ground, which is a government property, or in Kitovu, a village within the district.\n\nThe stadium will also be known as the Buddu Ssaza stadium, and is being constructed by Ocean Tech General Holdings Limited, a Ugandan Engineering firm.\n\nMeanwhile, EACOP is a 1,443km crude oil export infrastructure that will transport Uganda's crude oil from Kabaale - Hoima in Uganda to the Chongoleani peninsula near Tanga in Tanzania for export to the international market.\n\nHowever, this pipeline, that covers 296km within Uganda, goes through 10 districts of which seven are in Buganda. Some of these districts include Kyotera, Lwengo, Rakai, Kyankwanzi, Gomba and Sembabule.",

He said that is why the Government has targeted establishing over 22 industrial and business parks across the country, with 12 already operational.\n\n\"These facilities are intended to provide the infrastructure and environment needed for manufacturers to produce at a large scale, create jobs and add value to Uganda's raw materials,\" he explained.\n\nThe state minister was speaking on August 14, 2026, at the Ankole Industrial Development and Export Promotion Workshop, held at Birya United Agencies in Ruti trading centre, where local manufacturers showcased Uganda's potential in the productive sector.\n\nThe workshop was organised by the Mbarara City Traders Association in partnership with the Presidential CEO Forum and was intended to promote Uganda's industrialisation agenda and contribute to the country's target of achieving ten-fold growth through policy advocacy, trade promotion and increased exports.",

Our primary focus will be on addressing the high dropout rate, a significant challenge in Masindi. We plan to engage parents and learners to help them understand the invaluable benefits of education,\" he stated, adding that they had already identified schools most affected by the problem.\n\nBahemuka further highlighted some of their preliminary activities, including planting 160 fruit and shade trees at Kabalye Juvenile Remand Home, a facility that previously lacked trees, and at the Masindi District Local Government headquarters.\n\nThe members also repainted a zebra crossing at St Edward's Primary School along the busy Masindi-Kigumba road to enhance safety for pupils crossing the highway.",
