Our cars are just parked there, nowhere to go to. The private jets are lying in waste, air spaces are all shut, every country nursing its citizens and fighting an unseen tiny enemy.

I was a baby then, just about two years. Then somewhere around 1994, another famine struck. I was a teen with a stomach working like the way a Hammer consumes fuel. This famine found us not ready for it. Our family did not know anything like storing food in silos and the like. I was in Munteme village, in Hoima District, when some tinned food arrived thanks to the World Food…
