Ugandan

The Umbrella Continent: Shadows of a forgotten Earth.

In the year 4014, Safi Amy, a Ugandan activist who was brutally murdered in 2045, is reborn as Zahara Nia, a 20-year-old in the seemingly utopian world of Aetheris. Safi had died at the hands of an extremist Alliance that rose to power in Africa, targeting non-Africans and those who defended them. Her fiery end-burned alive as her executioners filmed her death as a warning-was meant to silence dissent. But now, centuries later, Zahara awakens in a world that feels eerily familiar, with cultural and environmental echoes of her past life. She however discovers the unsettling truth: Aetheris is the only landmass on Earth, surrounded by an endless ocean. The ruling class of Aetheris has erased all knowledge of other human species. Every evening, a mysterious cloud-like shield descends over the continent, further isolating its inhabitants from the truth. As a former history and environmental researcher in her past life, Zahara enrolls in the history major, determined to uncover the long-lost truths deliberately hidden by the elite. Her relentless curiosity and discoveries attract the attention of Abel Joni, a hardened general tasked with monitoring her. Despite his warnings to stay silent, Zahara becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth: What happened to the rest of humanity? Why does Aetheris exist in isolation? And what lies beyond the veil? As Zahara delves deeper, she must confront the risks of her quest-not just to herself, but to the fragile utopia of Aetheris. The more she uncovers, the more she realizes that the truth could shatter the world she now calls home. But for Zahara, the cost of silence is far greater than the danger of rebellion. In a world where history is a weapon and ignorance is enforced, Zahara's journey is one of defiance, discovery, and the unyielding pursuit of truth. Will she uncover the secrets of Aetheris, or will the weight of the past crush her future?

Jago Pilla

He was born with the name David Zokpia Naho, along the line he added Apollo in his elementary school years, radicalized somewhat by reading about Apollo Kagua, 1864 to 1927, the historic Ugandan political Leader, who he idolized. He aimed to become a future Prime Minister of Nigeria, like Apollo Kagua, who, under British Colonial rule was appointed Ugandan Prime Minister in 1890, by King Mwanga II. The dream of PM crashed, like his elementary school education, when his father, my maternal grandfather, died. But he kind of forged on, he was that kind of kid, a village whizkid, who'd try his hands on anything, voodoo, villainy, and all. Mixed grill. The location is West Africa, between the mangrove swamps and the savannah belt, in the rainforest plateau of Esanland, where boys were born already as men, and not just mere men, but brave men, born and bred to do and to dare. David Zokpia Apollo Naho got a new pseudonym, Jago, Jago Pilla. How he got the name, even he could not explain, since he got it without half trying. It was his final nomenclature, and the name invoked respect and fear. Soon, everybody was calling him Jago Pilla. The name was known famously to normal life folks with affection and respect, and notoriously known to the bad eggs with loathing and dread, and that pretty much is the story of his life, which fate thrust on him, in a projectile that took him through local brawls, tribal feuds, and boundary skirmishes, to the epic clash with the marauding killer herdsmen that finally defined him, and his mysterious bloodline... It was all at a time in Esanland, not too long ago, even contemporaneous when amulets and occultic divinations were commonplace, mojo competition were frequent pastimes, communities where might and right were mixed, mysticism was real, warriors were called okakulo, and mortal men could vanish in plain sight.

South Sudanese Civil War

The South Sudanese Civil War was a multi-sided civil war in South Sudan between forces of the government and opposition forces. In December 2013, President Kiir accused his former deputy Riek Machar and ten others of attempting a coup d'état. Machar denied trying to start a coup and fled to lead the SPLM – in opposition (SPLM-IO). Fighting broke out between the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and SPLM-IO, igniting the civil war. Ugandan troops were deployed to fight alongside the South Sudanese government. The United Nations has peacekeepers in the country as part of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Quick Facts Date, Location ... In January 2014, the first ceasefire agreement was reached. Fighting continued and would be followed by several more ceasefire agreements. Negotiations were mediated by "IGAD +" (which includes the eight regional nations called the Intergovernmental Authority on Development as well as the African Union, United Nations, China, the EU, USA, UK and Norway). A peace agreement known as the "Compromise Peace Agreement" was signed in August 2015. Machar returned to Juba in 2016 and was appointed vice president. Following a second breakout of fighting within Juba, the SPLM-IO fled to the surrounding and previously peaceful Equatoria region. Kiir replaced Machar as First Vice President with Taban Deng Gai, splitting the opposition, and rebel in-fighting became a major part of the conflict. A rivalry between the President and Paul Malong Awan, former army chief, also led to fighting.In August 2018, another power sharing agreement came into effect. On 22 February 2020, rivals Kiir and Machar struck a unity deal and formed a coalition government. About 400,000 people were estimated to have been killed in the war by April 2018, including notable atrocities such as the 2014 Bentiu massacre. Although both men had supporters from across South Sudan's ethnic divides, subsequent fighting had ethnic undertones. Kiir's Dinka ethnic group has been accused of attacking other ethnic groups and Machar's Nuer ethnic group has been accused of attacking the Dinka. More than 4 million people have been displaced, with about 1.8 million of those internally displaced, and about 2.5 million having fled to neighboring countries, especially Uganda and Sudan. Fighting in the agricultural heartland in the south of the country caused the number of people facing starvation to soar to 6 million, causing famine in 2017 in some areas. The country's economy has also been devastated. According to the IMF in October 2017, real income had halved since 2013 and inflation was more than 300% per annum.
