As we step into 2026, I extend heartfelt wishes to all readers, subscribers, and supporters a Happy New Year marked by dignity, empathy, and renewed commitment to justice. The conversation in this Journal will continue into 2026, carrying forward an urgent call to rethink our shared humanity and the responsibilities it places upon us all.
On 15 January 2026, Uganda will go to the polls. At this pivotal moment, we appeal for peace, fairness, and unwavering respect for human rights. May the electoral process be guided by the rule of law, ensuring transparency, accountability, and a just transition of power. A peaceful election is not merely a political event – it is a moral statement, a reflection of our collective belief in democracy, dignity, and the equal worth of every human voice.
As we begin this new year, let us do so with courage and compassion. Let us choose humanity over division, justice over silence, and solidarity over indifference.
Happy New Year 2026 – and may peace prevail in Uganda, in Africa, and across our shared world.
