    Iran, the ICC, and the Struggle Over the Rules of the World

    Why do events that happened decades ago still shape the wars and political decisions we see today? In this episode of Borders & Briefs, Keneth Kitambula looks at the war involving the United States and Iran, the 1953 overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, and Washington’s growing confrontation with the International Criminal Court (ICC) Along the way, we explore the Strait of Hormuz, economic pressure, sovereignty and international law, while asking a simple but difficult question: who holds powerful states accountable? We also reflect on Senator Darline Graham’s admission that national security is not her area of expertise, and what that says about the people making decisions with global consequences. A conversation about power, history, accountability and who gets to make the rules.

    Election Aftermath: Can Religion actually unite a divided Uganda?

    In the wake of Uganda’s 2026 general elections, Gen Z is asking difficult questions. Where was the church during the storm? And can religion still unite a nation that feels more divided than ever? History offers a compelling blueprint for hope. Senegal’s first president, Léopold Sédar Senghor, was a devout Catholic who led a nation that was over 95% Muslim. Despite the religious divide, he remained a symbol of unity and respect. Can Uganda find a similar path, or is the gap between the pulpit and the people growing too wide to bridge? On this episode of Borders & Briefs, we sit down with Ugandan activist Kennedy Ochieng to unpack the election aftermath and interrogate the role of faith in speaking truth to power. We explore the tension between silence and courage, asking whether religion can still be a force for justice, accountability, and true national healing in Uganda today.
