Museveni Sworn In, Security Tightened: Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni was sworn in for a record seventh term at Kololo Independence Grounds, with heavy deployments reported across Kampala and beyond as authorities moved to prevent protests.

Tourism Buzz: Ovation Global DMC expanded its Africa portfolio to 15 destinations ahead of IMEX Frankfurt 2026, adding more access for meetings and incentives, including Uganda.
