Evidence (2024-10-09): Onditi expressed concerns that Ugandan security officials always block them from fishing within Kenyan territories in the lake. [...] "Harassment by Ugandan security officials has become rampant in Lake Victoria. They arrest Kenyan fishermen and take them to Lolwe Island in Uganda, where their boats are confiscated. Finally, a boat owner has to part with a hefty fine in order to be given back their boat," Onditi said.

Evidence (2024-05-08): It is thought that the first group of Nilotic peoples entered what is now known as Uganda in the 1400s. They settled in the verdant area of northern Uganda. These people became known as the Acholis and are based around Gulu, their main modern town. If you are lucky enough to visit this area, you can still see the Acholis living in their roundovals with thick thatched roofs. [...] They immediately found Lake Victoria, which they called Nam Lolwe, meaning "endless lake." When they arrived, it seemed like the water went on forever. The Jolou settled at the lake and became fishermen, which they are to this day. Since they arrived in Kenya over five hundred years ago, they have become very influential and are the fourth largest ethnic group in Kenya today. Other groups moved along the shores of the lake into Tanzania.

Claim: Oyasi is a territory of Uganda (Oyasi, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-08): Arab traders moved into the land from the Indian Ocean coast of East Africa in the 1830s for trade and commerce.[17] In the late 1860s, Bunyoro in Mid-Western Uganda found itself threatened from the north by Egyptian-sponsored agents.[18] Unlike the Arab traders from the East African coast who sought trade, these agents were promoting foreign conquest. In 1869, Khedive Ismail Pasha of Egypt, seeking to annex the territories north of the borders of Lake Victoria and east of Lake Albert and "south of Gondokoro,"[19] sent a British explorer, Samuel Baker, on a military expedition to the frontiers of Northern Uganda, with the objective of suppressing the slave-trade there and opening the way to commerce and "civilization." The Banyoro resisted Baker, who had to fight a desperate battle to secure his retreat. Baker regarded the resistance as an act of treachery, and he denounced the Banyoro in a book (Ismailia – A Narrative Of The Expedition To Central Africa For The Suppression Of Slave Trade, Organised By Ismail, Khadive Of Egypt (1874))[19] that was widely read in Britain. Later, the British arrived in Uganda with a predisposition against the kingdom of Bunyoro and sided with the kingdom of Buganda.
Claim: Oyasi is a territory of Uganda (Oyasi, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): Uganda , officially Republic of Uganda, Country, eastern Africa. Area: 93,264 sq mi (241,553 sq km). Population: (2024 est.) 47,066,000. Capital: Kampala. Uganda is home to dozens of African ethnic groups, as well as a small Asian community. Languages: English (official), Swahili. Religions: Christianity (mostly Roman Catholic; also Protestant); also Islam, traditional beliefs. Currency: Uganda shilling. A landlocked country on the Equator, Uganda is largely situated on a plateau, with volcanic mountains edging its eastern and western borders; Margherita Peak, at 16,795 ft (5,119 m), is the highest mountain. Part of Lake Victoria occupies virtually all of southeastern Uganda; other major lakes are Lakes Albert, Kyoga, Edward, George, and Bisina. The Nile River traverses the country. Huge tracts of land are devoted to national parks and game reserves. The economy is based largely on agriculture and food processing. Livestock raising and fishing are also important, and there is some manufacturing and mining. Uganda is a multiparty republic with one legislative house; its head of state and government is the president, assisted by the prime minister. By the 19th century the region was divided into several separate local kingdoms inhabited by various Bantu- and Nilotic-speaking peoples.

Evidence (2024-02-16): Uganda gained independence in 1962 with one of the more developed economies and one of the strongest education systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, but it descended within a few years into political turmoil and internal conflict that lasted more than two decades. In 1966, Prime Minister Milton OBOTE suspended the constitution and violently deposed President Edward MUTESA, who was also the king of Buganda. Idi AMIN seized power in 1971 through a military coup and led the country into economic ruin and rampant mass atrocities that killed as many as 500,000 civilians. AMIN’s annexation of Tanzanian territory in 1979 provoked Tanzania to invade Uganda, depose AMIN, and install a coalition government. In the aftermath, Uganda continued to experience atrocities, looting, and political instability and had four different heads of state between 1979 and 1980. OBOTE regained the presidency in 1980 through a controversial election that sparked renewed guerrilla warfare, killing as an estimated 300,000 civilians. Gen. Tito OKELLO seized power in a coup in 1985, but his rule was short-lived, with Yoweri MUSEVENI becoming president in 1986 after his insurgency captured the capital. MUSEVENI is widely credited with restoring relative stability and economic growth to Uganda but has resisted calls to leave office. In 2017, parliament removed presidential age limits, making it possible for MUSEVENI to remain in office for life.

Claim: Oyasi is a territory of Kenya (Oyasi, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-01-23): The company also administered territory in what is now Uganda; when it became involved with the kingdoms of Buganda and Bunyoro, it incurred a great debt and therefore was forced to limit its activities to regions nearer the coast. This financial problem was finally resolved in 1895 when the British government made Buganda a protectorate and paid the company £250,000 to surrender its charter to the area that is now Kenya. The East Africa Protectorate was then proclaimed, with Sir Arthur Hardinge as the first commissioner. Initially, the British government did not attach much importance to the new protectorate because Hardinge continued to reside in Zanzibar, where he already functioned as the consul general.

Evidence (2024-10-08): Kenya, officially the Republic of Kenya (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Kenya), is a country in East Africa. With a population of more than 47.6 million in the 2019 census,[12] Kenya is the 28th-most-populous country in the world[7] and 7th most populous in Africa. Kenya's capital and largest city is Nairobi, while its oldest and second-largest city, is the major port city of Mombasa, situated on Mombasa Island in the Indian Ocean and the surrounding mainland. Mombasa was the capital of the British East Africa Protectorate, which included most of what is now Kenya and southwestern Somalia, from 1889 to 1907. Other important cities include Kisumu and Nakuru. Kenya is bordered by South Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the east, Uganda to the west, Tanzania to the south, and the Indian Ocean to the southeast. Kenya's geography, climate and population vary widely, ranging from cold snow-capped mountaintops (Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana on Mount Kenya) with vast surrounding forests, wildlife and fertile agricultural regions to temperate climates in western and rift valley counties and further on to dry less fertile arid and semi-arid areas and absolute deserts (Chalbi Desert and Nyiri Desert).

Claim: Remba is a territory of Uganda (Remba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-09-27): Remba Island is situated in Lake Victoria Homa Bay County on the north-south border between Kenya and Uganda. It is a small, densely populated island and home to some 20,000 people whose economy is entirely dependent on fishing. It is also home to people from all over Africa, the majority being Abasubas, Luos and the Somalis of Kenya; there are also fishermen and traders from Southern Sudan, DR Congo, Tanzania, Uganda and other African countries. Crime is inevitably high, including rape, theft, prostitution and drugs.

Evidence (2008-12-27): Apart from Migingo, Remba and Ringiti islands are also under threat. At this rate, Kenya may soon be without Mfangano Island. The Government has contributed considerably to the mess. Some time in the early 1990s, when Mr Ndolo Ayah took over the Foreign Affairs ministry, something strange happened. [...] He said Wayasi and Hama islands, which had been under Kenya administration, belonged to Uganda. That careless handling of territorial dispute marked the worsening of trouble for Kenyan fishermen. Uganda went ahead to secure the disputed islands. Ndolo’s statement also gave Museveni the courage to grab more Kenyan territories, including Migingo and Remba islands.
Claim: Remba is a territory of Uganda (Remba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): Uganda, landlocked country in east-central Africa. About the size of Great Britain, Uganda is populated by dozens of ethnic groups. The English language and Christianity help unite these diverse peoples, who come together in the cosmopolitan capital of Kampala, a verdant city whose plan includes dozens of small parks and public gardens and a scenic promenade along the shore of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest freshwater lake. The Swahili language unites the country with its East African neighbours Kenya and Tanzania. [...] Uganda obtained formal independence on October 9, 1962. Its borders, drawn in an artificial and arbitrary manner in the late 19th century, encompassed two essentially different types of societies: the relatively centralized Bantu kingdoms of the south and the more decentralized Nilotic and Sudanic peoples to the north. The country’s sad record of political conflict, coupled with environmental problems and the ravages of a countrywide AIDS epidemic, hindered progress and growth for many years. Yet, even so, at the beginning of the 21st century a popularly elected civilian government ruled Uganda, which had attained political stability, had set an example for tackling the AIDS crisis that threatened to overwhelm the continent, and enjoyed one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.

Evidence (2022-05-01): TERRITORIAL MANAGEMENT OF THE CRISIS: As part of the response mechanisms to contain and manage the COVID-19 crisis, in April 2020 the government of Uganda (GoU) instituted national and subnational COVID-19 Task Forces to implement COVID-19 containment measures and manage recovery. The presidential directives on COVID-19 recognised local governments as essential to specific operations along with healthcare and security, though with lean structure and limited capacity. The district taskforces (DTFs) aided the local governments to contain COVID-19 and implement GoU COVID-19 containment. The DTFs were involved in case management, surveillance, health promotion, resource mobilisation and enforcement of control measures as well as continued delivery of basic services.

Evidence (2015-04-28): In early July 2013, I made an eight hour boat journey from Mbita-Rusinga Town, in the western part of Kenya - to unveil the odds of an island in Kenya’s Lake Victoria. In the blue waters of Lake Victoria sets Remba Island which is located right on the North-South border between Kenya and Uganda, and just about three kilometers inside Kenya from Ugandan international border. Remba is a small and densely populated island of around 20, 000 people who are majorly migratory in nature, and whose economy is entirely dependent on fishing activities. The island is a cosmopolitan commercial place that hosts people from all over Africa. The majority of the residents are the Abasubas, the Luos and the Somalis of Kenya who make up to 20% of the total population, though there are also fishermen and traders from Southern Sudan, DR Congo, Tanzania, Uganda and from other African countries."In Remba, we do fishing as the main economic activity though there are other businesses like shop-keeping, prostitution and even selling of chang’aa. There are also Masaais who offer us security and we pay them," said Austin Omondi who is a fisherman in Remba Island.
Claim: Remba is a territory of Uganda (Remba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-08): Uganda,[b] officially the Republic of Uganda,[c] is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered to the east by Kenya, to the north by South Sudan, to the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to the south-west by Rwanda, and to the south by Tanzania. The southern part includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, shared with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda is in the African Great Lakes region, it lies within the Nile basin, and has a varied equatorial climate. As of 2024[update], it has a population of over 49 million, of which 8.5 million live in the capital and largest city, Kampala. [...] The Protectorate of Uganda was a protectorate of the British Empire from 1894 to 1962. In 1893, the Imperial British East Africa Company transferred its administration rights of territory consisting mainly of the Kingdom of Buganda to the British government. The IBEAC relinquished its control over Uganda after Ugandan internal religious wars had driven it into bankruptcy.[27]
