Welcome to Friday Vibes.
And we don't news a lot.
But we still start with
📆 Today in History.
In 1979 – The US embassy in Pakistan was burnt to the ground by a mob. The problem: A rumor was circulating that America had attacked a mosque in the holy city of Mecca.
🌏 And elsewhere.
In 1976 - The movie 'Rocky' - starring Slyvester Stallone aka Rambo was released in New York.
⁉️ Here is the Friday fun puzzle.
Which word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
Every correct answer gets a Sanyu Daily Mug from our CEO - Charles.
📰 In the news.
Social: A recent Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) survey indicates that Ugandans are reporting higher levels of happiness, with 81% of adults describing themselves as "fairly" or "completely" happy, up from 77% in 2017. This rise in personal well-being is noted despite persistent national concerns like poverty and corruption (Source: SoftPower News).
Political: The nomination period for candidates for the 2026 general elections, including Presidential and Parliamentary seats, has been a major focus. The Electoral Commission is actively managing the process, including fresh nominations in areas where a candidate has passed away.
Business: Uganda's economy is showing robust growth, with the Bank of Uganda (BoU) reporting a Real GDP growth of 6.3% in the 2024/25 fiscal year. This performance, driven by stronger agricultural output and industrial recovery, delivers one of the East African Community's most robust growth performances (Source: Uganda Investment Authority).
Sports: The Uganda Cubs (U-17 national team) created history by advancing to the knockout stages of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Doha, Qatar, after defeating France and Senegal in the earlier rounds. Their impressive run ended in the Round of 16 after a close penalty shootout loss to Burkina Faso.
That will be all for today
Have a Happy Day
