Bukedea Woman MP, Ms Anita Among has been elected Deputy Speaker of the 11th Parliament with overwhelming majority after beating her two male contenders; Kampala Central MP Muhammad Nsereko (Independent) and Mawokota South MP Yusuf Nsibambi (FDC).
Stashed inside pickup trucks and guarded by armed militias and jihadists, every year billions of illicit cigarettes wind their way through the lawless deserts of northern Mali bound for the Sahel and North Africa.
The profits from their long journey fuel north Mali’s many armed conflicts, lining the pockets of offshoots of al-Qaida and the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, as well as local militias, and corrupt state and military officials. This violence is now spilling out across West Africa, displacing more than two million people in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, and Niger.
Cigarettes made by one of the world’s largest tobacco companies, British American Tobacco (BAT) and distributed with the help of another major, Imperial Brands, through a company partially owned by the Malian state, dominate this dirty and dangerous trade.

Ugandans on Thursday will vote in a highly-charged election after one of the bloodiest campaigns in years, with a veteran president seeking a sixth term against a singer-turned-politician half his age.
Incumbent Yoweri Museveni, a 76-year-old former rebel leader who has ruled since 1986 is looking to hold onto power.
On the other side of the equation is Bobi Wine, a 38-year-old singer who has rattled the ruling party and is the clear frontrunner among 10 candidates challenging for the presidency.
Mr Museveni has cemented his power across his 35-year reign to the point where many expect him to retain the presidency easily.
