The Kenya-Uganda milk fight is not about milk

Summary
When we were at Makerere University, the southern African students who had foreign exchange and could travel more freely to Nairobi and back were gods. They would bring back cologne (Brut), music (LPs), and even fancy tinned beef.

The Kenya-Uganda milk wars are back. Kenya is blocking imports of the milk to protect its local producers, who were being seriously undercut by the cheaper Ugandan imports.
This milk thing is about something else. For that, we have to go back to Comrade Omwony Ojwok. At the time of his death on November 11, 2007, Omwony was State minister for Economic Monitoring, a job he held between 2001 and 2007, having been minister for Northern Rehabilitation between 1999 and 2001.

Because learning begets learning (Carneiro et al. 2020), there is likely to be a long-term loss of child skills and targeted government policy is crucial.
Online School; Will it impact us? By Priya Watkinson Rosebery School On Monday the fourth of January 2021 the UK hurtled towards digital-dominated learning as students from the ages of 5-18 began remote learning from home until February half-term at the earliest. The question arises; what effects will this extended period of time learning from home have on students, from their mental health to their ability to learn? Given how recent the move to fully online learning has been, the most evidence and analysis we have is from the studies undertaken before the pandemic, when online learning was already on the rise. This evidence, according to the Economic Observatory states that, while the research suggests there are no seen detrimental impacts of a mix of online and face-to-face teaching, students tend to perform worse in online only lessons.
