Struggling Man City counting on fan support, says Guardiola
BY REUTERS Manchester City’s supporters remember the highs of recent years and will get behind the team following a string of poor results, manager Pep Guardiola said on the eve of the Premier League visit of Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. City, who have won six of the last seven Premier League titles, are without a win in seven games in all competitions and a fourth straight league defeat at Liverpool on Sunday saw them drop to fifth in the standings. The club’s sudden downturn in form has led to serious questions over their ability to challenge for silverware for the first time in years, but Guardiola said he was confident the fanbase had enough reason to remain faithful. “We need […] The post Struggling Man City counting on fan support, says Guardiola first appeared on 93.3 KFM.

Bulambuli landslide death rises to 28
The death toll from the Bulambuli mudslide has risen to 28 after additional bodies were recovered on Monday. According to Rogers Taitika, Elgon region police spokesperson, the increase in recoveries follows the deployment of an excavator, which has been instrumental in exhuming bodies buried deep in the mud.Taitika reported that by the end of Sunday, 22 bodies had been recovered. However, the excavator unearthed five more bodies on Monday, while another victim died at Muyembe health center IV bringing the total to 28. “The excavator is digging deeper compared to the hand hoes previously used by community members, which could not reach certain depths. We expect to recover more bodies as the operation continues,” Taitika said. Irene Muloni, Bulambuli District Woman MP, has urged the government to expedite the resettlement of hundreds of displaced people currently housed in overcrowded internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.Muloni warned that delays in resettlement could lead to dire consequences, including the outbreak of hygiene-related diseases and an increase in crimes such as defilement and rape due to overcrowding in the camps.“If the government delays in resettling these people, we anticipate worse outcomes, including unhygienic diseases and increased crime rates,” she cautioned. Recovery operations continue, with authorities and humanitarian agencies working to address the immediate needs of the affected families. {loadposition inarticle}

2,000 Ugandan children trafficked for sexual exploitation in 2024
At least 1,937 Ugandan children have been trafficked for sexual exploitation this year alone according to the ministry of Internal Affairs. Derrick Higenyi Basalirwa, the deputy national coordinator Office for Trafficking in Persons under the ministry of Internal Affairs, said most of the children are trafficked from their parents’ homes with dubious promises and they end up being deployed for sexual activities within Uganda. “Child trafficking for sex and labour exploitation is alarming. We need to do a lot to address this problem. Other than 1,937 children trafficked for sex exploitation, 658 were victims of both sex and labour exploitation,” Basalirwa said. Basalirwa’s alarm on child sex and labour exploitation is consistent with the recent incident in Kira where a mother, Moreen Nakagwe, paid Shs 30,000 to a woman to get her a housemaid, and the bodaboda rider instead brought a nine-year-old girl. “This lady said she knew girls seeking to work as maids. She told me they were in Iganga, Mayuge and Pallisa district. She asked me to pay Shs 30,000 for transport. I paid and she told me the maid was going to be delivered by the bodaboda man. I was shocked to see a nine-year-old girl being brought to me as a maid,” Nakagwe said.To Nakagwe’s shock, the nine-year-old pleaded to be allowed to serve as a maid because she had been sent by her mother and ordered not to return home until she got a job. Nakagwe explained that she felt pity when the innocent girl narrated how she was being sent to work by her mother.“The girl cried to me, she repeatedly begged me to let her serve as my maid. I couldn’t imagine that a nine year old willing to be a caretaker of my two children with the eldest being six years old. It was a child that deserves to be taken care of seeking to be employed because of the mother’s instructions,” Nakagwe added. At the end of the day, Nakagwe worked with local authorities and police to search for the girl’s mother in Pallisa. According to Basalirwa, sometimes parents and guardians are conduits in incidents of child trafficking. In total, 4,966 people including adults have been trafficked of which children make 79 per cent. More than 93 per cent of the victims were trafficked domestically which calls for more sensitization about the dangers of sex and labour exploitation. Areas that have topped in trafficking include Mbale with 373 cases, Kampala Metropolitan with 313, Masaka with 257 crimes, Jinja with 253 incidents, Nakawa with 233 crimes, Gulu with 173, Karamoja with 173, Mukono with 161 and Mubende with 164. {loadposition inarticle}
