Last month, doctors at Soroti Regional Referral Hospital successfully separated a dead conjoined twin from a live sibling. The twins who belong to Ms Loyce Alinga, a resident of Kapelebyong District, had been delivered by caesarean section at Amuria Health Centre IV in Amuria District with one of them still born. They were joined at the stomach.

Ugandan Christians, like their counterparts around the world, are celebrating Easter today, but for many, there is precious little to celebrate. In fact, some are in tears, and we have seen photos of them in newspapers weeping.
Their fathers, sons and daughters have either been killed or are languishing in prison not because they committed crimes punished by our laws but because they supported and voted for a presidential candidate the sitting president is bent on killing politically.

Summary
Policy gaps. Child rights activists said Uganda has a vast number of laws, policies and programmes and if put in practice, they would effectively end child marriage.
Mr Gerald Baale, the Kamwenge senior probation and social welfare officer, noted that despite the many laws and policies in place, the country continues experiencing significant sexual and reproductive health challenges such as high cases of teenage pregnancy and early marriages in schools. This, he said, is due to poor implementation of the laws and policies.
