It was such an incredible experience having the @USAmbUganda join us on this activity. I am Greatly inspired by the ambassador’s efforts to intentionally connect and understand the work of the @USAlumniUganda across the country.
#AmbPopp visited 🇺🇸 @WashFellowship alumnus @NtendeBaker in Jinja who is running a hands-on digital skills training for 30 students. With @TechReachAfrica’s mobile computer labs, Ntende is bridging the digital divide in rural areas. So proud of 🇺🇸 #ExchangeAlumni making real, lasting change!

I treasure the conversations we had at the forum. It was such a great opportunity to connect with American companies with interest in Partnering with Africa, learning & talking about factors that make these partnerships sustainable while meeting other young leaders across africa.
We're cheering on our alumni who joined almost 200 Africa @WashFellowship alumni for the U.S.–Africa Partnerships Alumni Forum in Nairobi. 🇺🇬🤝🌍🇺🇸. They explored how to unlock new investment, innovation, and economic growth. Way to represent, @MWFAlumniUganda!

We joined Mandela Washington Fellowship (MWF) alumni and @spoutsofwater in Jinja to launch the Clean Sip Campaign for #MandelaDay2026, distributing 1,000 ceramic water filters to improve safe drinking water across the Greater Busoga Region. Proud to support our MWF leaders creating lasting change in their communities. 💪💧
The US government, through investment in programs like the Mandela Washington facilitated my connections with social impact leaders within the U.S. Grateful that I continue to enjoy the mentorship from such leaders.

Alumni Spotlight ⭐️
Today, @ntendebaker proudly hosted Ambassador Popp at @Techreachafrica in Jinja! This was a powerful moment to showcase how his team is closing the digital gap in rural communities — one mobile computer lab at a time.

As a village girl, I feared public speaking. But at the #YouthAdaptationForum in Uganda, I chose to be brave and presented the @GCAdaptation Youth Communiqué before government representatives. We, the youth, are agents of change. #Youth4Adaptation
This is so sad. I went to @yalirlcEastafrica with Abdeen and he was such a gentle person. It’s so sad to see him in this state and finally passing. So sad, very sad!
The Death of Walid Abdel Hamid Abdeen: Another Civilian Soul Crushed in the Torture Camps of the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed)
Yesterday, Eng. Walid Abdel Hamid Abdeen passed away—son of Ambassador Abdel Hamid Abdeen and the late Ambassador Mona Abdel Rahman, who died earlier during this war—after six months of forced detention by the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed).
Walid, who had no political or military affiliation, remained in captivity until the very last moments before the militia withdrew from the Jabal Awliya area, leaving behind hundreds of civilian detainees in devastating physical and psychological condition. News of his death has caused a wave of grief among all who knew him or learned of his story.
The video we shared shows Walid after he was found following the liberation of the area—his body frail, his face exhausted, his eyes heavy with the weight of months of torture, hunger, and neglect. To reflect the scale of this tragedy, we included in the video photos of Walid before his abduction—healthy, calm, and dignified. The contrast between the images is not just visual; it is a silent testimony to the systematic physical and psychological abuse he endured.
He was taken to the hospital in a last attempt to save him, but there was nothing left to save—those torture camps had already consumed his soul.
Walid's death is not an isolated case. It is yet another chapter in a long and horrifying series of crimes against innocent civilians, abducted by the Janjaweed and taken to places with no law, no mercy. Those not killed by bullets die slowly in dark cells—starved, tortured, and silenced.
