October 24, 2021 at 5:47 pmMadam Hope, u will live in the memories of all…Ugandans ..the region and the world. You were not just a friend but a sister. We were locked down together in Khartoum during the 1st Covid global lock down. You gave me the particulars of your next of kin Charity at my house yet you were a public figure….we prayed together and finally flew together on the 1st specially cleared flight from Sudan to Ebbe when the time came. You will always be remembered as a heroine and a cadre. God be with u Dear Sister Hope Kivengere.
