Heritage Oil out of Alberta, Canada, wants to sell its rights, and Tullow Oil of London, England, has chosen to exorcise its preemptorive rights in their agreement to take over the entire acreage blocks which they share. But Uganda wants the shares sold to an Italian company. Now, I'm wondering why. Wondering if it isn't somehow related to the flak that came out of England over Bahati's bill. After following this for nigh on a year I don't know what is going to happen. But I fear that the bill with all its human rights violations (in terms of free speech) is going to be passed. I'm not sure what it is going to do. I suspect those associated with gay and human rights organizations will be arrested and show trials set up. If the courts in Uganda are worth their salt they will strike down that part of the law. Will people then start ratting out gays? I don't know.

We must, in every way possible, escalate the world's attention on this catastrophe unfolding before our eyes. My heart and my soul weep for the LGBTQ people of Uganda.
