According to the currently released information by the police, 6 are confirmed dead including the suicide bombers and a total of 33 severely injured persons in the current twin bomb blasts that happened yesterday in Kampala.

What's happening to my country? 🤔 Last month on October 23rd, Uganda also had a bomb attack in "komamboga" the suburb of kampala. One person was killed and seven others were severely injured. 2days later one person was killed in a suicide bombing that happened in a bus and 2 children were also killed when they were playing with an unknown fruit-shaped bomb.

According to the police spokes person Fred Enang, a domestic millitant group that is allied to ADF rebels working under the islamic terrorist group "ISIS" claimed responsibility for these twin bomb blasts that have currently hit kampala.

The good news is that police managed to identify one suicide bomber, injured him and terminated the would be forth bomb blast attack in the country.

With the rising tension happening in the country, I call upon my fellow Ugandans to be vigilante in such a tough time. Everyone should limit their movements. If possible stay at home, until the situation calms down.
