Uganda’s ‘Coffee Investment Consortium Initiative’ launched a purported trade hub in Belgrade, Serbia, called ‘Uganda Connect,’ by President Museveni is now alleged to be a bar, according to recent revelations. Despite its initial promotion as a platform to facilitate Uganda’s exports, visitors to ‘Uganda Connect’ reportedly found it to be a bar where patrons enjoy foreign beers and cocktails.
The hub, which received over Shs 5 billion for furnishing, stocking, and promotion, has sparked concerns about the potential misuse of funds. President Museveni inaugurated the hub in July 2023, aiming to strengthen bilateral relations between Uganda and Serbia and boost Uganda’s presence in the Balkans region.
However, recent reports suggest that the Serbian government may have perceived the ‘Uganda Connect’ project as a sham. President Museveni expressed gratitude for the opportunity to promote Ugandan exports in Serbia, particularly emphasizing the potential for processed goods like coffee.

Despite earlier optimism, the hub is now in limbo, with claims that it has not fulfilled its intended purpose. The Coffee Investment Consortium Initiative, led by Nelson Tugume, received $1 million from the Finance Ministry to support its members’ participation in showcasing their products at the trade hub.
However, reports indicate internal strife within the consortium, with members accusing Tugume of lack of accountability and the initiative losing direction. Uganda Coffee Development Authority’s reports show no coffee exports to Serbia since the opening of the ‘Uganda Connect’ hub in July. The situation has raised questions about the legitimacy and effectiveness of the project, with critics branding it as fraudulent.

In a recent episode of her reality series, Kim Kardashian hinted at Kanye West’s modest living situation post-divorce, suggesting he may have become more humble over time. While his family’s massive compound doesn’t attract his kids as much as his smaller apartment, it seems another space in his life has undergone changes. Reports indicate graffiti now adorns the exterior of his Los Angeles Yeezy Headquarters, with nearby homeless individuals setting up tents.
Yeezy HQ, known for hosting secret fashion events, Sunday Service performances, and private movie nights, was a multi-purpose venue rather than a store. It served as part of West’s fashion brand relaunch efforts alongside American Apparel founder Dov Charney. Although West continues to pay rent on the building, sources reveal that it now contains mostly “unfinished wooden structures and debris.” Some employees still use the space, but it appears to be in a state of transition.
Known for his intense creative focus, West has temporarily shifted his attention from fashion to his highly anticipated album with Ty Dolla Sign. Amidst speculation about the project’s status, the R&B star confirmed that the joint LP is “coming real soon.” West’s dynamic approach to his various ventures continues to keep fans intrigued about what’s next for the influential artist.
