Besides, against the backdrop of incoming news regarding the demarche of a number of UN Security Council Members that demand to investigate the events in the Idlib de-escalation area, it would be wrong to lose sight of Article 100 of the UN Charter, according to which, in particular, "in the performance of their duties the Secretary-General and the staff shall not seek or receive instructions from any government or from any other authority""

Even if we put aside the legal drawbacks of this case, we would like to understand how the Secretariat plans to build the work of the "board of inquiry". Will it operate remotely, taking into account that the Idlib de-escalation area is, as a matter of fact, predominantly controlled by terrorists? Or will it base its work on some sources that UN representatives find "reliable", like the notorious "White Helmets" who feel at ease at the jihadist-controlled areas and whom both the Syrian Government and the Russian Reconciliation Center have time and again caught spreading staged and fake episodes in order to create provocations and escalate anti-Damascus sentiment?

We are also eager to learn about plans of the Secretary-General of the United Nations about investigations of incidents related to deaths among peaceful population that resulted from the U.S. and its allies bombing Syrian cities Raqqa, Baghouz, Hajin, and the areas of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan.

This is the most recent news from Museveni in Kampala:

President Museveni's Labour day address, 3 days ago. He speaks of removing foreign manufacturers in several categories. If you wish to send him your recommendations, he will recognize the honest and sincere to benefit the people of Uganda, whom he has ably served for 20 years, a long reign given the difficulties of presiding over most Africa governments.

"The people of Africa, the people of Uganda, are entitled to a democratic government. It is not a favor from any regime. The sovereign people must be the public, not the government. These days, political pundits across the continent are calling Museveni an African Bismarck. Some people now refer to him as Africa's "other statesman," second only to the venerated South African President Nelson Mandela.

A pentagenarian Museveni travelled on a bodaboda motorcycle taxi to submit his nomination form for the election. Bodaboda is a cheap and somewhat dangerous (by western standards) method of transporting passengers around towns and villages in East Africa.

From Wikipedia:

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, born 15 September 1944, is a President of Uganda since 1986. Museveni was involved in rebellions that toppled notorious Ugandan leaders Idi Amin (1971-79) and Milton Obote (1980-85) before capturing power in the 80s.

In the mid- to late 1990s, Museveni was celebrated by the West as part of a new generation of African leaders. During Museveni's presidency, Uganda has experienced relative peace. At the same time, Uganda remains a country suffering from high levels of corruption, unemployment and poverty.

Museveni's presidency involved in the civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other Great Lakes region conflicts; the rebellion in Northern Uganda by the Lord's Resistance Army which caused a humanitarian emergency; and the suppression of political opposition and constitutional amendments scrapping presidential term limits and the presidential age limit (2017), thus enabling the extension of his rule.

Early life and education

Museveni was born on 15 September 1944 in Rukungiri and his family migrated to Ntungamo, Uganda Protectorate, to parents Mzee Amos Kaguta (1916-2013), a cattle herder, and Esteri Kokundeka Nganzi (1918-2001), a housewife. He is of the Basita clan, Bahororo tribe.

Museveni gets his middle name from his father, Mzee Amos Kaguta. Kaguta is also the father of Museveni's brother Caleb Akandwanaho, popularly known in Uganda as Salim Saleh, and sister Violet Kajubiri.
