It’s been over three decades since the regime of Uganda’s Idi Amin collapsed at the hands of Tanzanian Defense Forces.Yet, many Ugandans still wake up disturbed and haunted by memories of his dictatorial rule The family of Theresa Nanziri Bukenya is one of them.

and warden of the women’s-only hall of residence, Africa Hall, at Makerere University was killed by Amin’s regime for refusing to conspire with it in the killing of a student and the disappearance of another.

On the evening of June 22, 1976, Bukenya’s body was found with bullet wounds on the neck at the banks of a river. She was 37, had just married and was seven months pregnant.

She would join a tall list of others who had suffered cold death at the hands of the Amin regime.

Many believed she was targeted by the regime as the brilliant mathematician was not only an inspiration to women and girls but had been a symbol of bravery against the state.

Several hundred thousand people are believed to have been killed during the 8-year regime of Amin, who has since been renowned for the wrong reasons.

After seizing power from the then president of Uganda Milton Obote in 1971, his dictatorial style of leadership made many see him as a monster.

He had come to power with good intentions for his people but as time went on, he became power-drunk and started abusing people, historians say. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Bukenya was at Makerere University during this period and had introduced many policies aimed at providing a conducive environment for female students to study.

“In a show of love to the girls and their education, she introduced security lights around Africa Hall and on the steps. She also provided hot water for the girls to bathe in,” Dr. Maria Musoke, the chief librarian at the university recalled in 2007.

It is said that her security lights were to keep government soldiers from “preying on female students.”

To promote girl-child education, especially in mathematics, she once accepted a post at a remote area.

“Nanziri [Bukenya] was a staunch catholic, very courageous, strong-hearted and straight forward. She was a very good mathematician- in fact, one of the best teachers of that subject I met in my study days back in the sixties,” Rosemary Musisi Kobere, a warden at Makerere University, recalled…..

In the crowded morning at the train station, a young mother, holding a small child in one hand and a lot of things in the other, hurriedly got on the train. In her haste, she had just stepped inside when a man behind her accidentally pushed her stroller away.

The girl was confused and put her things down, intending to turn back and pull the stroller in, but at that moment, the train door suddenly slammed shut.

She panicked and slammed on the glass door, her eyes following the abandoned stroller with regret. The stroller was not just an ordinary item, but also an indispensable part of her journey to take care of her young child. The train started slowly, leaving the station, leaving the girl with a bewildered expression…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

At this time, a woman walking in the train station saw the stroller in the middle of the road and kicked it to one side without mercy. Witnessing the scene, a homeless man sitting nearby quickly stood up.

He walked over, gently set the cart back up, checked for any damage, and carefully placed it in a hidden corner away from the busy walkway. He sat down next to the cart, thinking to himself that the owner of the cart must be very worried. Time passed slowly. Despite the hunger and the strange looks from passersby, he still sat and waited, his eyes never leaving the cart.

Hours passed, and finally, the young mother appeared, running and looking around with a restless look. When she saw the cart, she burst into tears of happiness. She quickly put the baby in the cart, looked at the old man, bowed her head, and said sincerely, “I really appreciate it. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Thank you very much.” She opened her wallet, took out some money, and gave it to him, but he just shook his head and smiled. His voice calm, he said, “No need, girl. As long as you and the baby are safe, that’s enough.”

The homeless old man’s beautiful act moved the girl to tears. A man with nothing in his hands was willing to spend the whole day helping others.

When the young mother pushed the cart away, the old man still sat in his familiar corner, his eyes distant but filled with strange warmth. His simple action not only kept the cart, but also planted in others’ hearts a belief that humanity is still intact, even in the coldest places.

The story of the young mother and the homeless old man is a testament to the fact that kindness does not come from wealth or status, but from a sincere heart. In poverty, the old man gave away his most precious things: time, care, and compassion.

Attackers Beat Up A Lone Cop, But They Didn’t Know His K-9 Partner Was With Him –

Birds during a quiet night shift. Deputy Todd Frasier of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office found himself driving down a lonely road near a rest stop in Plarlington, Mississippi. It was the kind of place where silence stretched for miles, and the darkness felt heavier than usual. That’s when he noticed a car parked alongside the wooded road, its lights off, and a man sitting alone inside.

Concerned that someone might be in need, Deputy Frasier pulled over. As he approached the vehicle, an unsettling sound reached his ears—a rustling from the nearby woods. Before he could react, his world turned chaotic. Out of the darkness came three men: the driver and two others who had been lying in wait. It was an ambush. The deputy tripped and fell to the ground as he was backing away from the vehicle, explained Glenn Granon, Chief Investigator for the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

That’s when all three men attacked, cutting him on the forehead and dragging him toward the woods. Outnumbered, disoriented, and defenseless, Frasier could hear their chilling words. They threatened to end his life as they dragged him deeper into the darkness, alone on a desolate road with no one in sight. Or so they thought.

What the attackers didn’t realize was that Frasier wasn’t truly alone. In his patrol car sat his loyal partner, K9 Lucas, a black Belgian Malinois with a heart full of courage and a bond unshakable. The thugs hadn’t counted on one crucial detail: Frasier’s patrol vehicle was equipped with a life-saving pop mechanism, a tool that could unleash Lucas at the push of a button. Amid the struggle, battered but not broken, Frasier managed to hit that button, and in an instant, everything changed. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The quiet night was shattered as the car door sprang open, and Lucas launched into action—a blur of fur, muscle, and unyielding loyalty. Lucas charged like a missile straight toward the attackers, fearless and unrelenting.

“We don’t know how many he got; we just know Lucas had blood all over him,” said Sheriff Ricky Adam. What was clear, though, was this: Lucas had fought tooth and paw to defend his partner, turning the tide and saving Frasier’s life. The men who thought they had the upper hand fled into the darkness, but not without scars of their own.

To the silent heroes like Lucas and the brave men and women who serve, we owe more than words can express. Because sometimes, heroes come on four legs.

The man left her when he found out that she only had one leg. But suddenly the unthinkable happened! –

At a luxurious party, a girl in a yellow dress with soft, flowing hair and a gentle face was the center of attention. The guys in the audience kept coming up to her, complimenting her and trying to find out her contact information. But the unexpected happened: the girl stood up with crutches in her hands. One of her legs was covered with a piece of cloth—a clear sign of disability. Silence suddenly reigned in the hall.

The boy, who had just been polite and attentive, immediately changed his face. “What a waste of time!” he said insultingly, then took the flower he had just given her, turned around, and left. The girl tried to continue smiling, but her sad eyes spoke for themselves…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The other guys also approached her table one after another. At first, they were full of enthusiasm and zeal, but when they saw the crutches, they all tried to leave without saying a word. The girl sat alone, and her heart was heavy. She thought, “Are all these men only interested in my appearance? Nobody really cares about me.”

Feeling sad and helpless, she lowered her head as her eyes filled with pain. At that moment, a young man in a blue shirt approached her. He bowed and extended his hand with a gentle smile. Thinking that he was just like everyone else, she shook her head slightly and pointed to her crutches, as if warning him that he would be disappointed. But, oddly enough, when she stood up, he not only did not leave, but also smiled, praising her as special. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist, turning her towards him, making her laugh in surprise.

“I don’t care about anything anymore. I love your character and who you are,” he continued. His warm voice made the girl’s heart flutter. For the first time that evening, she felt recognized and appreciated. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

When the young man was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed his hand. Her eyes were confused, but full of emotion. “I want to show you something,” she said in a voice as light as a breeze. Under the surprised glances of everyone present, the girl stood up and slowly removed the bandage from her leg. To everyone’s surprise, her leg did not have to be amputated.

“I did it to test everyone,” she admitted, her cheeks flushing. “And you are the only one who did not notice my physical shortcomings. You really care about me.”

Their story not only warmed the girl’s heart, but also excited the whole room. A gentle but profound message was spread: true love is not about appearance, but about how people perceive and value each other.
