From Run: We made this « Never Man

Baz's melancholic ode to Kampala fits in perfectly with a paper I'm writing right now on Museveni's politics: "I try to stifle the sense that this is a fragile beauty, that it cannot last. That one day something will happen, something will happen to bring it all crumbling down and we will be back to 1986."

Ugandan blogger Carlo on Passover

"I like the idea of the children being encouraged to ask questions. Many of us have grown up in a religion or a church where we don’t ask, we just follow what others do. Sometimes you might ask someone about their faith and they’ll say, ‘it just is’ and think that’s a good enough answer. We need to look at the pile of stones and ask, we need to tell our children to ask."
