ANTI riot Police officer from Jinja central Police Station went through a training drill in order to make sure that they get familiar to the equipment they use while quelling rioters in the town.
The police officers attached to the Field Force Unit (FFU) clad in full anti-riot gear went through the routine training exercise at Kakindu stadium.
“This is a continuous process in the Police force, It helps us as far as alertness is concerned, to be vigilant, physically fit and how to overcome rioters during public protests,” Jonathan Musinguzi, the Jinja District Police Commander said.
Samson Lubega, the South Eastern Police spokesperson said the exercise will be routinely carried out every Friday in order to enable the officers get familiar with the equipment and commands during public protest situations.
He added that the exercise is aimed at ensuring that the guns do not rust and that tear gas vehicles do not develop mechanical conditions since they are not used occasionally.
“The equipment and vehicles have taken long without being used in the field so the public should not get scared after hearing the sound of guns whenever we are doing practice,” said Lubega.

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea.

Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja.

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts.
