Dembe shines but Hippos miss Afcon slot
By Fred Mwambu John Paul Dembe was the silver lining in Uganda Hippos’ dark cloud. He emerged as the top scorer of the Cecafa qualifiers of the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, which concluded on Sunday in Tanzania. Uganda Hippos, under the tutelage of Matia Lule, failed to make it a third consecutive appearance to the continental finals after losing to Tanzania in the semifinals. Against Tanzania, the Hippos had themselves to blame after failing to defend captain Toto Majub’s goal in the first minute of the second half. Tanzania’s Sabri Kondo slalomed through four Ugandan shirts to score the equalizer from a tight angle before scoring in the 73rd minute to force the game into extra time.

Harris holds 46%-43% lead over Trump amid voter gloom, poll finds
BY REUTERS Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris held a marginal 46% to 43% lead over Republican former President Donald Trump, with a glum electorate saying the country is on the wrong track, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found. Harris’ lead in the six-day poll, which closed on Monday, differed little from her 45% to 42% advantage over Trump in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted a week earlier, reinforcing the view that the contest is extraordinarily tight with just two weeks left before the Nov. 5 election. Both polls showed Harris with a lead within the margin of error, with the latest poll showing her ahead just 2 percentage points when using unrounded figures.

Govt urged to rebuild Rwenzururu Kingdom
The Democratic Party (DP) on Tuesday urged the government to take the lead in rebuilding the Rwenzururu Kingdom, which was destroyed in 2016. The call comes after the kingdom celebrated its 15th anniversary on Saturday, commemorating its separation from the Tooro Kingdom. DP’s acting spokesperson, Mr. Ismael Kirya, said the government should play a significant role in rebuilding the kingdom because it is partly responsible for the setbacks the kingdom has faced. “The people were boiling underground, they had a lot of hatred for the government because of invading the palace of Omusinga [Charles Wesley Mumbere]. We are at least grateful to the Omusinga for calming down the people,” Kirya said.
