Uganda’s 2026 Presidential Election Process is one we have witnessed before. A process captured by state infrastructure to muffle dissent. What is the military doing in politics - capturing the electoral process forcefully guarding presidential candidates during the campaigns? #WomenForPresidency

![[Tanzanian police] kidnapped [Atuhaire], blindfolded her, stripped her naked, took nude photos of her, insulted and tortured her, denied her food, stole all her money and phone, and, four days later, dumped her 2 km before reaching the border with Uganda... at about 2 a.m.

The fact that Ethiopia and Eritrea are on the cusp of war yet again is a reminder that eventually war can become so seeded in the logic of a state that it becomes its raison d’être. A cabal of old men who have become so rooted in warfare that they cannot even comprehend peace.

One of the greatest gifts of the transition known as menopause is shamelessness. I am not known as one easily shamed nor is modesty one of my virtues. Still, I gasp at the heights of audacity that I like to think come monthly in lieu of my long gone menstrual cycle.
The anthology on menopause that I’ve edited will be published on March 5. To celebrate, I’m republishing some of my most popular essays on menopause. This one from 2021 is the first essay I wrote on my menopause transition and is the most viewed so far! www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-mois...
