PLANE CRASH AT ENTEBBE AIRPORT
Plane crash at Entebbe
TABU F. BUTAGIRA & RODNEY MUHUMUZA
ENTEBBE/KAMPALA
A SOUTH African-registered plane crashed immediately after take-off at Entebbe Airport yesterday morning, killing two expatriates involved in Uganda's mineral exploration exercise.
The 8-seater, a light aircraft operated by Fugro Airborne Surveys, went down immediately after take-off, crashing at or about 7.37 a.m. The French-made Reims craft took a nosedive and suddenly disintegrated in a depression between the eastern taxiing lane and the western runway, aviation authorities said.
But investigators will need time to establish the cause of the accident, transport State Minister Simon Ejua told a press conference at the airport.
"The aircraft took off at Entebbe Airport at 7.37 a.m. this morning for aerial surveys north of Entebbe and crashed immediately after with two people on board. The two people on board sustained fatal injuries and were rushed to Mulago Hospital," said Mr Ejua, reading from a prepared statement. "Investigations into the probable cause of the accident have been instituted..."
But an airport employee, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak, said the South African pilot, Capt. Erard Peter, died instantly, while the technician from Botswana, Ms Selina Mareme, died almost immediately after being extracted from the wreckage.
"I think the plane could have crashed due to up-thrust, because the pilot took it up sharply like a military jet and then the engines suddenly failed, and we saw it coming down," said the source, who is fairly knowledgeable in aviation matters.
At the crash site, broken glasses and aircraft parts, including the tyres were strewn all over, and the fuselage and tail surfaces lay about 75 metres apart.
"What happened at 7:37am this (yesterday) morning is that a small aircraft of type F406 crashed immediately after take off at Entebbe Airport. The destination was supposed to be northern Uganda," Minister Ejua said at the press conference. The exact destination was Masindi District, he added.
Mr Daudi Migereko, the minister for energy and mineral development, said the crash was "unfortunate". "They [the dead] have been doing good work and the preliminary report of their aero-magnetic surveys (for mineral exploration) have been interesting in that they had identified different parts of this country with mineral potential," Mr Migereko said in a phone interview.
He said the government would engage Fugro Airborne Surveys to determine how to proceed with the surveys, which began in November 2006 and were due to end in December.
Minister Ejua told Daily Monitor in a separate interview that he had constituted a five-member committee to immediately investigate the crash. Mr Moses Adriko, a former president of the Uganda Law Society, will chair the probe team and Ms Patricia Asiimwe, a senior state attorney in the office of the Attorney General, will be its secretary.
Other members include; Mr Ben Kwobe, an airworthiness surveyor, Mr Robert Ntambi, a senior air transport regulation officer in the Ministry of Works, and Captain Paul Tamale, who has been a pilot with DAS Air cargo. Knowledgeable sources speculated that the accident was most likely caused by pilot error. Former minister Francis Babu, a flight captain, said the incident could not be a measure of Uganda's air safety, because "you must treat each accident on its own merits".
And according to former minister Mike Mukula, also a flight captain, the accident could have been the result of many scenarios, most especially pilot error.
The investigators will need to establish if there was a weather problem, whether the aircraft ran out of fuel or if certain regulatory standards were not met, he said.
"Entebbe international Airport is in excellent state. New equipment has been installed and the runway is of international standards."

King of Scoland, and despot of Uganda – the narrative of Idi Amin authored by Trym Skarra on 23. March 2007 at 02:46
Muzungos give the narrative dimension of Idi Amin – it`s okey but they forgot about almost 350 000 deaths; the actors play the madness very well but they are still alive. My friends in europe asked me if this is a good movie and I told nupe; if you don`t know nothing about Africa – I told them to see first of all T”he Devil Wears Prada “, then “ Sometime in april” and “Blood diamond” before “Last king of Scotland” because we all need more info., history than muzungo filmmakers are able to give incl. “peoples war”. This bloody film is more about the Scottish doctor than Idi Amin; the narrative makes Idi more stupid than ever and there never really was a Scottish doctor like Nicholas Garrigan – its culture-conflict from the very start; Scotland/Uganda and Nicholas/Idi Amin. I actually realized while watching the film that the narrative structure of The Last King of Scotland mirrors perfectly that of The Devil Wears Prada. Think about it: both stories are about recently-graduated, ambitious youngsters who befriend and learn from horrific, yet accomplished elders and eventually realize that their mentors are evil people. The fact that I would automatically make that comparison shows how deeply this movie fails, when it could have been so brilliant. It seems just like The Devil Wears Prada because the film gives absolutely no historical context whatsoever. We have no sense of how much time has passed, of what Amin has done for his country (whether it's good or bad), or what the people of Uganda think of Amin. In trying so hard to make this a personal tale, Giles Foden's writing robs the reader of the true drama: the actual history of Uganda in the 1970s. Stylistically, the movie fails as well. There are terrible pacing problems in the second half of the film, mainly due to how Kevin MacDonald tried to incorporate a number of Hollywood suspense scenes that of course would never have actually happened. A scene where a character tries to assassinate Amin is particularly poorly handled, as the build-up to the climax is far too lengthy, the crosscutting disorienting and the payoff nonexistent. The best thing about the movie, period, is Forest Whitaker's genuinely terrifying portrayal of the bizarrely erratic Idi Amin. He expresses so many emotions in this film it's hard to know where to begin. He's captivating as the incendiary firebrand, the eloquent general who rallied his country to support his coup through the power of his words. His kindly, paternal demeanor toward Nicholas is very endearing and adds great dimension to Amin, who otherwise is this kind of unknowable mythological character. And his rapid, mystifying mood shifts and rampages become terrifying when considering that he could marshal the state apparatus to satiate his gross passions and whims. The Last King of Scotland is certainly not a kingly movie at all. It's a very shallow view of history that also doesn't work as a piece of dramatic narrative.
But Forest Whitaker will always be remembered as the king of this film. His psychological
darkness is the film's shining light - "The last King"
Movie magic authored by jaky on 22. March 2007 at 23:50
I have had experiences with people where on meeting me for the first time thought I was from one of the Caribbean islands. However, I went on to say that I was in fact from Uganda. Those with sufficient geography or history background or simply watch news and thus have knowledge about world issues; immediately knew where I came from. It warmed my heart of course till someone said, “Oh is that Idi Amin’s Uganda? Tell me is he still alive? What did he really eat?” I was too young to know what this man ate or did for that matter. I had read a book about him and even watched the movie about Entebbe (cannot recall the exact title). But this gave me the crude picture and all. Movie making is all about tapping into the honey pot or potential money maker. Whether is true or not there are instances where the characters are exaggerated for movie magic. The viewers love that. However, the truth may be distorted and it depends on who is telling the story. If you asked some people they may say the man was terrible while others he was alright.
However, if this man made mistakes he is certainly not the first or the last one. There are many worse things people have done and are still doing. So don’t dwell on this if you feel that his character was exaggerated. For example, a lot of my friends from Rwanda feel that Hotel Rwanda did not do them any justice; however, this has passed and now Uganda gets to “shine” though not the way many of us envisioned. Certainly a lot of people will want to know more about Uganda and feel free to open up and educate them.
Movies Have meanings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! authored by adam on 21. March 2007 at 16:30
Movies are not acted to only entertain you Mr. Olaya, they are acted beside entertainment to pass a message to the public about an event in history or some fore thought event and/or character of the society. example watch "God must be crazy", it tells you Namibia is a desert, watch "Binaigeria", they tell you how the socities in Nigeria are organised e.t.c
It is worth it to discus "The Last King of Scotland" with care, because the movie says once was a ugandan president who was brutal and did alot of attrocites.
One of the student meet me on campus recently and asked me " Excuse me sir, from which country " i said Uganda." he continued Uganda of Iddi Amin" i said Yes, he kept quite for some time and said "sir is sex legal in uganda to an extend of playing with one you meet on bus for the first time",i said no , i continued who told you, he said A watched a movie.
That was the massage passed by that movie to many people in the world,
So dont get supprised one day to be abroad and some asks where are from.
You say uganda and he says let go have it tonite,
Yaa am serious because that is the society the movie has told the world you ugandans are.
Thanks
Most observers here are not aquainted with film writing that is why, objection!...!....! authored by Oloya on 21. March 2007 at 02:32
They are not after truth, they are after entertainment why, when, who, how?
And yet this still send the message about this regime.
The Most boring movie i have ever watched!!! authored by obotha Esther on 20. March 2007 at 18:04
I watched the last king of scotland and even had to throw out the copy i purchased because it was a waste of my little money.
This movie doesnot depict anything near Idi Amin's character. I was so dissappointed because i was at campus at the time this movie was being made. I rushed out to buy one when it was realised but ended up throwing it away not ever wishing that even my kids or friends watch it.
How can someone win an award over that gabbage of a movie???
I donot think that Ugandan women were so loose that they slept with anybody they met on a bus for the first time... leave alone a white person.This movie director should give me a break...uh..
The woman in the movie was so stiff both in movement and in action . Uganda doesnot have stiff women who move like they re on remote control.
One of these days, i will have to make a movie and expose these freaks who think they are the best and want to remove dirt from their friends eyes before they do it to their own.
I think NO, but never underestimate the wisdom of a Mad Man authored by adam on 20. March 2007 at 17:21
As a ugandan I took trouble to instead of watching the movies again I went for the novel and read it more than once to understand the theme of last king of Scotland.
Assuming the story was true I would conclude that fine Amin Did not rule well to some extend.
This story rises alot of questions down reasonable mind and it requires alot of research, I dont think Amin was a wrong president either, but he was some leader who could not be allow him self to be illuminated by so called masters.
If his excellence with due repect thinks that the movie (last king of Scotland)is all about showing how Amin (rest in peace) rulled brutally, he need to be reminded of 1980-86 rebel war and 18 year war in the north. During the rabel war, those who were killed were they killed by choice or by fate chosen by the rebels.
If you died in this war by fate is it not equally brutal..??."if we acted a movies from the events in Sewing the Mustard Seed, my dear you would see how brutal the leaders of Africa come to power, and they forget that they once killed", I can not fogive the current goverment from the people they killed in the rebel war, the toll is greater than the people that you claim Amin killed.
Conclusively, unlike presidents like Binaisa(who did not dip thier hands in alot of blood) i dont think we have a good president as yet and all of them are equally movie stars like Amin.
Lastly we need to understand why Amin did some of those things they claim he did. And do you know why you are reminded of bush war again and again " Think again"

LIES, lies - business as usual in hollywood authored by omuriwe, shilla on 20. March 2007 at 14:22
When I watched the movie I was not disappointed because my theory was proved right – ‘foreigners’ can NEVER re-enact African issues and the sad part is that they easily sell this nonsense they come up with to the unexposed 'non-Africans' for lack of a better word to use.
So what was my disappointment? First and foremost, the fact that I was not proved wrong and secondly is that Whitaker actually won awards for this crap.
1. Please explain to me why or how someone that couldn’t correctly present any of the Swahili lines – not even a single word correctly pronounced - was given an award. The person that should have won was ABBY MUKIIBI for an excellent performance.
2. I was not of age at the time but from what I know of the way girls/ladies are raised in Africa you do not meet someone on a bus and then you are in bed with them the next moment. I believe that was specifically set aside for the Americans or the so-called civilized people.
3. Then you have some Nigerian trying to act as a Ugandan doctor. Ahhh, do I have to say anything about this?? I DON’T THINK SO.
To cut the long story short. I refused to watch Hotel Rwanda just by looking at the clips they were using to advertise it and I believe I made the right choice. It was painful to watch Ugandan history being twisted and modernized to fit the times but what hurt most is that people actually bought that crap and someone won an award. How unfortunate!
It makes me second guess the motives of the producers of BLACK HAWK DOWN (a movie that I actually love and believe was well done but hey, probably some Somali was complaining too). What message are you trying to put out there? Are you trying to avoid similar situations or trying to depict Africans as some hooligans? Why not ask questions like why the Africans would react that way? What mighty ‘YOU’ have done to cause such a situation? Anyone??? …..
I second the proposal to produce our own movies and watch them ourselves if we have to because its our history and not someone’s way of CASHING IN or making the big bucks or name for that matter. Idi Amin did some horrible things and that’s a fact, the Brits did some horrible things and that’s a fact too. I think there are 4 films about Amin but how many have been made about the Brits involvement? Anyone??
My prayer is that God uses his people for the good of everyone. I pray that during productions of such historical facts and issues His wisdom is sought to be able to bring healing and not pain. AMEN!!
cheap stunt authored by ocorobiya lloyd on 19. March 2007 at 10:13
i have not watched the last king of scotland. my comments about Amin shall be restricted to what we all know or should know by now: there was complicility by the west especially by Britain to have Obote killed by Amin on account of his socialist policy viz nationalising the industries and empowering the ugandan. second was coz Obote was making scathing attacks on apertheid in south africa and the arms sales by Britain.
what am i driving at? when Amin overthrow Obote in Jan 1971 was with the backing of the British. they expected to control Amin. In fact they even looked aside when the attrocities were be committed. wasnt there a Brit called Bob Astles who was an Amin Adviser? There Isrealis were also involved at an earlier stage although they fell out.
the last king of whatever is what it should be: the last attemt to depict Ugandans as savages without bringing out blatant complicity. i agree with one writer that we need to make our own movies and show the satanic face of the west. any one remember Patrice Lumumba's torture and death, CIA; the overthrow of Osagyefo the Brits and their American Cousins. they have formented so much havoc in south America.
Let us wake up from the drunken stupor and make our own movie. it may not sell on the international scene but we can do it KiNigeria.
a caveat though: I do not condone whatever evil Amin did or any other President for that matter
long live Ugandans.
"Look beyond your shoulder" authored by Africa kapondo on 18. March 2007 at 21:32
How did this man dramatically act the last king of Stotland without the permision from the Ugandans communities.He has wronglly published Amin. Almost every african governor has ever polluted hiscountry .None is perfect to date. Even the pressent and to be are equally worse than Amin. Death is still huge in their hands using secret leathal tools.Amin has done a lot positivelly to the Ugandans by his moto "Why is that there is no.....Let there be.......from tomorrow. He built Bugolobi Flats,Beaches like Lutembe,etc.Some of his products are being sold out to the foreigners at a give away prices.Men can we come to our senses,value our hero's effort Amin. Tell that man of yours so stop that film

It makes me second guess the motives of the producers of BLACK HAWK DOWN (a movie that I actually love and believe was well done but hey, probably some Somali was complaining too). What message are you trying to put out there? Are you trying to avoid similar situations or trying to depict Africans as some hooligans? Why not ask questions like why the Africans would react that way? What mighty ‘YOU’ have done to cause such a situation? Anyone??? …..
I second the proposal to produce our own movies and watch them ourselves if we have to because its our history and not someone’s way of CASHING IN or making the big bucks or name for that matter. Idi Amin did some horrible things and that’s a fact, the Brits did some horrible things and that’s a fact too. I think there are 4 films about Amin but how many have been made about the Brits involvement? Anyone??
My prayer is that God uses his people for the good of everyone. I pray that during productions of such historical facts and issues His wisdom is sought to be able to bring healing and not pain. AMEN!!

i have not watched the last king of scotland. my comments about Amin shall be restricted to what we all know or should know by now: there was complicility by the west especially by Britain to have Obote killed by Amin on account of his socialist policy viz nationalising the industries and empowering the ugandan. second was coz Obote was making scathing attacks on apertheid in south africa and the arms sales by Britain.
what am i driving at? when Amin overthrow Obote in Jan 1971 was with the backing of the British. they expected to control Amin. In fact they even looked aside when the attrocities were be committed. wasnt there a Brit called Bob Astles who was an Amin Adviser? There Isrealis were also involved at an earlier stage although they fell out.
the last king of whatever is what it should be: the last attemt to depict Ugandans as savages without bringing out blatant complicity. i agree with one writer that we need to make our own movies and show the satanic face of the west. any one remember Patrice Lumumba's torture and death, CIA; the overthrow of Osagyefo the Brits and their American Cousins. they have formented so much havoc in south America.
Let us wake up from the drunken stupor and make our own movie. it may not sell on the international scene but we can do it KiNigeria.
a caveat though: I do not condone whatever evil Amin did or any other President for that matter
long live Ugandans.

How did this man dramatically act the last king of Stotland without the permision from the Ugandans communities.He has wronglly published Amin. Almost every african governor has ever polluted hiscountry .None is perfect to date. Even the pressent and to be are equally worse than Amin. Death is still huge in their hands using secret leathal tools.Amin has done a lot positivelly to the Ugandans by his moto "Why is that there is no.....Let there be.......from tomorrow. He built Bugolobi Flats,Beaches like Lutembe,etc.Some of his products are being sold out to the foreigners at a give away prices.Men can we come to our senses,value our hero's effort Amin. Tell that man of yours so stop that film

GUIDELINES ON ZAKAT AND CHARITY

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this issue:
* Guidelines on Zakat and Charity !
* Debt, Debt Management and Supplications to rid oneself of debt !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abdulmajid, Assalamu-Alaikum and Greetings !
We hope that you are enjoying your Ramadan and making the most of it spiritually ! In this month, we want to take a few moments of your time to discuss a couple of important topics.
First, as you know, Zakat / Charity is a big topic in the month of Ramadan. Muslims all the world over follow the prophet's guidance to be the most generous in this month. Therefore, we invite you to read a few facts about Zakat and also invite you to read the Zakat e-book included in the article below.
Second, debt and debt management is another important topic for Muslims. Debt has become such a common thing of the present times that some of us are either out there looking to get loans or are doing their best to rid themselves of the loans (and accompanying interest) that we have accumulated over time. The article below provides you the one master Quranic verse that covers the topic of debt and also provides you with supplications that deal specifically for helping oneself relieve from the burdens of debt.
We pray that you are able to put more effort in this Ramadan than the previous years, thus bringing you closer to your Creator than ever before.

zakat is the third pillar of islam
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. The Quran mentions zakat eighty-two times, along with prayers=salat to emphasize the importance of it. The Zakat means growth, blessings and increase in good purification. It is called zakat because wealth grows through the blessings of giving it and prayer of those who receive it. Zakat also purifies its giver?s sins and extols him by testifying to the genuineness of his faith. Every Muslim who possesses a zakat payable amount (Nisab) for one lunar year has to pay Zakat (2.5% of Nisab). Through this program The Zakat Foundation of America, is privileged to plays the role of being a bridge between givers and receivers.
Please review our page on Zakat Ul-Fitr and remember it is compulsory for all Muslims to pay this zakat before the end of Ramadan.
The Zakat Foundation is proud to serve as your information resource for all your Zakat Related Needs. If the answer to your questions is not found here please contact us and we will be glad to help you.

WORLD ASSEMBLY OF ISLAMIC YOUTH DISTRIBUTED FOOD TO THE POOR
Sunday, 16, September, 2007 (04, Ramadhan, 1428)
Mail Article | Print Article | Comment on Article
WAMY Distributing Food Baskets Among the Poor
Javid Hassan, Arab News
RIYADH, 16 September 2007 — Food baskets worth SR2 million are being distributed by the World Assembly of Islamic Youth (WAMY) to the poor and the needy during Ramadan, in addition to Iftar packets for those who are fasting.
Dr. Saleh Al-Wohaibi, secretary-general of WAMY, told Arab News that the organization has also allocated an additional SR2 million to help Islamic organizations in Africa and other countries around the world during the holy month.
Under a separate program, school bags have been distributed to needy boys and girls to help them after the reopening of schools at the end of the summer recess.
The distribution of food baskets is part of WAMY’s long-term plan to give away 100 million baskets over the next five years. Each basket consists a month’s supply of rice, macaroni and sugar for a Saudi family of seven.
This is in addition to the distribution of Iftar packets for people across the Kingdom. An amount of SR2 million has been allocated for such a program.
Dr. Al-Wohaibi said: “We also help thousands of needy students, both boys and girls, by supplying them with school bags. Our volunteers either go to schools or move from house to house distributing school bags. The other channels are the local Saudi organizations and mosques, which can undertake the distribution.”
Referring to WAMY’s charitable program abroad, the secretary-general said that some 50 countries around the world are benefiting from it. Under this program, an amount of SR2 million has been allocated to financially help the poor, mainly in Africa and other developing countries.
In response to a question, Dr. Al-Wohaibi said, “Restrictions on WAMY have affected our activities. But we are coping with the situation as best as we can. In spite of difficulties, we continue to give scholarships to Saudi students pursuing higher studies in Sudan, Malaysia and other Muslim countries. In Sudan, we even provide them with residence and meals. Saudi students pursuing higher education are helped financially,” he added.
In an earlier interview, the secretary-general said that it was able to provide scholarships to some 500 young men and women, who otherwise had no way of pursuing college education.
“Over the years, our scholarship program has made it possible for thousands of students all over the world to obtain degrees in various fields of study, get decent jobs and lead happy lives,” he said.
Asked about the criteria for handing out food baskets, Dr. Al-Wohaibi said that care is taken to ensure that the beneficiaries are those who are in genuine need. He added that food baskets were purchased with sadaqa money and not zakah.
He pointed out that WAMY was sponsoring over 30,000 orphans. With its help and that of its donors, these young boys and girls could get food, shelter and proper education.
“We have a number of programs and short-term training courses to help people learn important skills such as time management, team work, computer skills, foreign languages and the like,” he said.

9/11
Arab News 30th Anniversary Supplement
Life of Prophet Muhammad
HERE IS A SHORT ARTICLES OF QURAN
Abdulmajid,
Here is a short article on the miracles of Quran. Please read
and be sure to forward it to all your family and friends. Remember,
everyone can get a free downloadable copy of Quran for free at
www.HilalPlaza.com.
Numerous books and literature have been published that
point to the various scientific miracles of Quran. This
article highlights some of those amazing facts.
=> Both the words Al-Hayat (Life) and Al-Maout (death)
are mentioned 145 times each in the Quran
=> Both the words Al-Rajl (Man) and Al-Mara'a (Woman)
are mentioned 24 times each in the Quran
=> The word Al-Yom (Day in English) is mentioned 365 times
=> The word Al-Shahr (Month in English) is mentioned 12 times
=> The word Al-Yahom (Day in English) is mentioned 365 times
=> Both the word Iblees (Devil) and the verses seeking
refuge from the devil are mentioned 11 times each
=> Both the words referring to "hardship" and the one referring
to "patience" are mentioned 114 times each in the Quran.
=> A person came to the prophet Muhammad (saws) and asked him whether
Allah (God) will indeed put humans back together in the hereafter
after they die in this life. Allah replied in the Quran "Does a man
think that We shall not assemble his bones? Yes, We are able to put
together in perfect order the tips of his fingers." (Quran, 75:
3,4). Now we know that fingerprints are unique for each individual
and the verse in the Quran refers not only that Allah will put them
together but the process will be accurate to the level of putting
the fingerprints together.
=> Einstein was among the first who explored at length the concept of
relativity of time. The Quran states: "...A day with your Lord is
equivalent to a thousand years in the way you count. (The Qur'an,
22:47)". Also "The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day
whose length is fifty thousand years." (The Qur'an, 70:4)"
=> The process of formation of rain through winds over water is a
phenomenon only scientifically discovered. However Quran mentioned
it hundreds of years ago in the verse: "It is God Who sends the
winds which stir up clouds which He spreads about the sky however
He wills. He forms them into dark clumps and you see the rain come
pouring out from the middle of them. When He makes it fall on those
of His slaves He wills, they rejoice (The Qur'an, 30:48)"

Kampala
THE Mufti, Shaban Mubajje, has advised Muslims to desist from using foul language during the month of Ramadhan, reports Halima Shaban and Yasin Kintu.
"As we enter the month of Ramadhan, we need to revisit our souls, deeds and utterances because it is upon these that a believer destroys his fast. I encourage you to fast and persuade your relatives and friends to fast as Ramadhan is the month of frequent good deeds," he said.
Addressing journalists at the new Uganda Muslim Supreme Council headquarters at the Gadhafi National Mosque yesterday, Mubajje said fasting was not self-torture but the temporary abstention from food and drink.
The headquarters were moved from the Old Kampala Mosque.

The Mufti urged Muslims to worship Allah, abide by his laws and resolve their differences peacefully.
Mubajje said the Gadhafi National Mosque would be officially opened by President Yoweri Museveni and Libyan President Col Moammar Gadhafi in October.
He also called for the speedy conclusion of the peace talks between the Government and the Lords Resistance Army rebels.

MUSLIMS BEGIN HOLY MONTH OF RAMADHAN FASTING
Muslims begin holy month of Ramadan
Weather commencing holy month on Wednesday or on Thursday, Muslims hope for tranquil holiday season.
TRIPOLI - Muslims in several countries begin marking the holy month of Ramadan on Wednesday, with hopes for a tranquil and joyful holiday season.
The start of Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Muslim calendar, is traditionally determined by the sighting of a new moon, often dividing countries and sects over the exact date.
Libya, however, does not look to the moon but to its centre for astronomical studies, which declared Wednesday the start of Ramadan, based on astronomical calculations.
Across much of the Middle East, Ramadan will begin on Thursday, including in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
During the holy month, Muslims are required to abstain from food, drink and sex from dawn until dusk as life slips into a lower gear during the day, and activity peaks between "iftar," the breaking of the fast at sunset, and "suhur," the last meal of the day before sunrise.
Shiite Iran, which is also due to begin fasting Thursday, bans restaurants from operating during the day throughout Ramadan.
Confusion about when Ramadan was starting led some people to wake up in the Afghan capital Kabul at 3am Wednesday for a pre-dawn meal -- just in case it was the first day of the month-long fast.
Once the sun was up, broadcasters said that the holy month would start in Afghanistan on Thursday, with restaurants opening only in the evenings and government offices closing by 1pm.
The nightly curfew in Baghdad and a vehicle curfew will be eased during Ramadan to help families celebrate the breaking of the fast.
Baghdad's 400-year-old Shorja market has been bustling with activity with war-weary residents stocking up on spices, sugar, tea and nuts -- these days imported from neighbouring Syria.
Residents of the Gaza Strip spending their first Ramadan under Hamas, which seized control of the tiny territory in June, are hoping for a few weeks of peace and calm with their families during Ramadan after months of partisan violence.
"Everyone must respect the month of Ramadan," said one resident, Nabil al-Ali. "We just want a little serenity and calm to bring us closer to God."
Saudi Arabia, birthplace of Islam, is this year preparing to receive around one million pilgrims expected to perform "umrah," or a smaller pilgrimage, to Mecca.
In Bangladesh, the government has offered rice at a 20 percent discount around the country, while also opening 100 convenience stores around the capital Dhaka to sell other foods at reduced prices.
"We want poor and middle class people to have a comfortable Ramadan," food secretary Dhiraj Malakar said. Print Printer Friendly Version

The facts and fiction behind the NRA Luweero bush war
September 13, 2007
The war in Luweero was inevitable. The seeds of Luweero were sown by the British who sought to punish the Baganda for asserting themselves and trashing their plans for a mini-geopolitical entity called the East African Federation. The story of pre-independence Uganda and what happened in the first years are not the beginning but rather small stones along this path.
In 1959 J.V. Wild published the Wild Report that recommended self rule and direct elections across Uganda. In 1961 when the first direct elections were held, the Democratic Party emerged victorious even though these elections were mostly boycotted in Buganda.
Ben Kiwanuka was a square peg however in the plans of the British. He was too close to the Americans and during his term, 300 Ugandans were spirited off to the United States for advanced training in critical fields to anchor the needs of post independent Uganda.
Kiwanuka also had another problem; he was a Catholic at a time when Catholics were presumed to take orders from the Vatican, a global question many candidates for office who were Catholic faced at the time including John F. Kennedy in America in 1960.
In Dr Apollo Milton Obote, the British found the perfect foil. He was handsome, charismatic and wily enough to serve their short term goals. The UPC-KY alliance was not discouraged by the British. It disenfranchised one quarter of voters in Uganda, installed Dr Obote, a former trade unionist, rather than Kiwanuka, the barrister in power and delayed inevitable questions like the referendum on the lost counties in Bunyoro.
British ties with Uganda strengthened throughout the 1960s even after the bloody putsch exiled Frederick Muteesa to London where he died in a flat either from poisoning or abuse of alcohol.
Obote of course was sugar to the British who continued running the judiciary, playing a dominant role in the private sector and most importantly enjoying a monopoly over Uganda’s exports of coffee, tea and cotton which were traded as commodities in London.
At the end of the 1960s, Obote was suspected of exhibiting propensity to become politically independent of the British. The UPC government had credibly managed the economy both before and after 1966 without incident.
Idi Amin came into play as the perfect foil to re-appeal to sentimental Ganda interests hoisted on their wish to return the dead Kabaka home and reinstall the Kabakaship.
By supporting the 1971 Amin coup, the British were willing to make one step lower than the university dropout to an actual school dropout who would be much easier to manipulate than Dr Obote. At a time when goons were emerging across the African continent like Emperor Jean Bedel Bokassa, their desperation drove them into Amin’s hands even though the results were a disaster.
They, of course, assembled Buganda’s best and brightest brains to provide intellectual fodder for Amin. Every prominent Muganda including Ben Kiwanuka, DP’s leader had a role in Amin’s regime, its creation and sustenance.
Yoweri Museveni, the quasi intellectual warrior, succeeded for three main reasons; he was able to understand that ruling Uganda depended on playing each of the major political factions against each other. Second, he, unlike the other political throne pretenders, was willing to assemble a force from scratch over which he and only he had absolute control, a reason why better educated and probably better leaders cannot aspire higher and succeed in Museveni’s organisation.
Third, as long as the outsiders guaranteed him political power, he would serve them to the joint end of his and their vision. Obote understood part of this story but was so tainted by the events of 1966 when he did the remote control work for the British.
Amin had the most detailed intellectual capital a regime has ever had at inception but got lost in the details of running the modern state whose design was oriented outwards rather than inwards. Neither of the others were strong enough or had the disciplined message and troops to maintain a bureaucracy especially in the opposition. DP, FDC all have many good men but the same fatal flaws that their predecessors in DP, CP, KY had.
In execution Museveni, however, was not flawless. He departmentalised responsibilities leaving NRM’s thinking faculties skewed towards the West, its operations in Buganda and the Infantry just like the British in the North.
The amorphous East, the intelligentsia; outside the West have struggled to find a role in NRM. A few intelligentsia now mostly decamped to Forum for Democratic Change got an illusion that they could rise to the top and replace Museveni and are now licking their chops, some returning to the fold on Museveni’s own terms. Bukenya has read the signs well and asked for out………the show has only begun.
