The newly elected Anglican Archbishop of the Church of Uganda Dr.Stephen KAZIIMBA Mugalu vowed not to allow gays, homosexuals and lesbians in Uganda during his tenure.
“We should adhere to our norms and culture,God created us in his own image, marriage should be between a man and wife,I will not allow homosexuals during my tenure” KAZIIMBA emphasised.
The Church of Uganda and that of England have been at ‘war’ due to the above acts.Former Archbishop Stanley Ntagali once vowed not to attend any function organized by the Church of England that runs on orders of homosexuals.
WARNS ON 2021 ELECTION
KAZIIMBA also used the opportunity to warn Museveni’s government (who was present) to desist from acts of violence and killing people power supporters.

THE enthronement of the newly enthroned Anglican Archibishop Dr.Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu on Sunday at Namirembe revealed hidden facts in the Church of Uganda.For so long,the Church of Uganda has been dominated by the Baganda clerics,although the Church is supposed to be for all Ugandans without any discrimination.
THE BATTLE OF WANI
There was a battle when Silvanus Wani who was the Archbishop of Uganda,Rwanda,Burundi and Boga-Zaire was installed,the Baganda clergy men by the time were deterimined to fight until their last breathe that Wani,a non-Muganda couldn’t rule them at Namirembe Cathedral.Wani negotiated with the then President Idi Amin Dada and Baganda Bishops to allow Him step at Namirembe,he was later allowed.
NKOYOOYO BLASTED ‘WESTERNERS’ IN A MEETING
According to a Clergy at Mukono who preferred anonymity,he revealed to this website that Former Archbishop of Uganda Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyooyo (1995-2004) while in a certain meeting blasted Kigezi and Western Bishops who had expressed their disappointment abouth the BAGANDA DORMINANCY at Namirembe “If you are not contented with the way things are done at Namirembe,since you have decided to brake away to Nakasero,there are no holly spirits ,you even have got no ‘HILL’ at Nakasero.
NAMIREMBE HAS DEMONS – OROMBI
Henry Luke Orombi shocked the nation when he openly revealed that Namirembe Cathedral was manifested with demons,something which some interpreted as a plot to make Nakasero the headquarters of Anglican Church in Uganda.
If Westeners want to breakaway,they can but NAMIREMBE is the Holly Hill not Nakasero – Nkoyooyo
LARGE SUMS OF MONEY DURING KAZIMBA ELECTION,IT WAS BUKEDEA’S TURN
It’s reportedly that large sums of money were given to various Bishops during the election of Archbishop last year at Namirembe Cathedral. Ankole Bishop,Sheldon Mwesigwa through president M7 is said to have splashed such monies although Mwesigwa didn’t go through,however a ‘poor’ KAZIIMBA was elected! KAZIIMBA is the 9th Archbishop who has served in Mityana for almost 10 years.
WESTERN BREAK-AWAY
At one time,the sheep from the West and North almost broke away from NAMIREMBE, building their own at Nakasero,however things are coming to normal when Stanley Ntagali relinquished power!

Liverpool are on course to win the Premier League title for the first time. It’s the trophy the club’s fans have craved for years.
The Reds – who last won a league title in 1990, two years before the Premier League was formed – currently boast a massive 22-point lead at the top of the table with 11 games remaining.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have won 26 of their 27 league fixtures this season and remain unbeaten. They’re also on course to smash all kinds of records and should end the campaign with over 100 points.
Liverpool require four more wins to become champions. However, it’s not over until it’s over.
And The Telegraph published an article on Friday afternoon that will strike fear into the heart of every Liverpool fan.
The Telegraph have revealed that there is no guarantee that Liverpool would be crowned Premier League champions if the season was curtailed by the coronavirus.
That’s right. If the ongoing coronavirus crisis continues, there’s a chance that Liverpool could miss out on the Premier League title, the Daily Mail add.
“The rapid spread of the virus has raised the prospect of the Government ordering the cancellation of all sporting events in the UK for more than two months, something that could mean some fixtures never being played,” the Telegraph’s Ben Rumsby reports.
“Were the Premier League season not completed, it is likely crisis talks would take place to determine whether previous results would be allowed to stand or whether the entire campaign was rendered null and void.
“Any final ruling could depend on how many fixtures had been played, similar to the results of abandoned matches in some sporting competitions being allowed to stand if a certain percentage of them have been completed.”
Health officials in Washington, Oregon and California on Friday reported new cases of coronavirus among people who have not traveled recently to countries hit hard by the outbreak or come into contact with anyone known to have the disease.
The Washington State Department of Health announced late Friday that a high school student in Snohomish County, just north of Seattle, tested positive for the deadly virus and was in home isolation. The student had not recently traveled to areas where the disease had spread, indicating it may be a case of community transmission.
Washington health officials also said a woman in her 50s in King County tested positive after traveling to Daegu, South Korea, the site of a major coronavirus outbreak. She, too, is in home isolation. Both cases in Washington were “presumptive positives,” officials said, meaning they were awaiting confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Earlier Friday, Oregon health officials reported a presumptive positive diagnosis in a resident in Washington County with no known travel history or contact with infected individuals. California also reported a second case of community transmission, in Santa Clara County, after reporting the nation’s first such case, in Solano County, earlier in the week.
The four new cases reported Friday bring the total number of covid-19 cases detected through the U.S. public health system to 19, according to the CDC.
Here are the latest developments:
China reported its lowest manufacturing numbers on record for the month of February, as the epidemic-stricken economy ground to an unprecedented standstill.
Coronavirus panic tightened its grip on global markets Friday as the escalating outbreak drove stocks to their worst weekly loss since the 2008 financial crisis and prompted the Federal Reserve to take the unusual step of issuing a statement to reassure Americans.
Major companies are beginning to cancel conferences and travel plans within the United States due to the coronavirus, which analysts warn will have cascading impacts on the country’s hotels, airlines and convention centers.
The first confirmed case of coronavirus in sub-Saharan Africa has emerged in Nigeria, the continent’s most populous country and biggest economy, sparking fears the contagion could spread quickly and stymie business.

Saudi Arabia tells citizens not to travel to Lebanon
BAGHDAD — Saudi Arabia urged citizens Saturday not to travel to Lebanon, after the number of confirmed coronavirus edged steadily upward.
In a statement, the Saudi Embassy in Beirut asked Saudi nationals to postpone non-urgent travel and, if in Lebanon, stay away from crowded places, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
Lebanon confirmed its fourth coronavirus on Friday, with Beirut’s Rafik Hariri Hospital describing the individual as a Syrian national, now in quarantine. It was unclear whether she had recently traveled to China or Iran, where many other cases appear to have been contracted.
Lebanon is in the throes of its worst economic crisis since its civil war and the downturn has hit the health care system hard. As foreign reserves evaporate, doctors have staged sit-ins at hospitals to warn that lifesaving medicines are in short supply. Health care professionals have also pointed to an increasing shortage of medical equipment.
The Lebanese government has been slow to react to the spread of coronavirus, only stopping flights from affected countries on Friday, a week after the first case was confirmed there. Shortly afterward, Lebanon’s education ministry announced Friday that it would close all universities and schools until March 8, as a precautionary measure.
“In the interest of the health of students and their families … the minister of education Dr. Tarek Majzoub requests all educational institutions including kindergartens, schools, high schools, vocational institutions and universities to close,” the education ministry said in a statement.

YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM MAY BE VERY SOON OUT OF POWER IF UGANDANS ABANDON THE USE OF ELECTIONS AND AGREE ON THE USE OF FORCE AS THE PRESIDENT OF FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS BRIGHTISH DANIELS JUUKO MAZINGA DECLARED. THIS STRATEGY OF FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS THAT SHALL BE SPARKED BY A MASSIVE PEOPLE’S UPRAISING IN A MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION TO BE BACKED UP BY A COMBINED BACK UP OF EXTERNAL FORCES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS PRESIDENT ‘BRIGHTISH DANIELS JUUKO MAZINGA ‘ THAT INCLUDE; USA, UK, EU COUNTRIES AND STRATEGIC AFRICAN NATIONS SOME OF THEM NEIGHBOURHS WITH UGANDA.
THIS IS THE MOST PRECIOUS JOB THE FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS HAVE DONE IN THIS LIBERATION STRUGGLE AND AT THIS POINT OF TIME MANY COUNTRIES ARE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN UGANDA AS PLANNED AND DECLARED BY THE FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS. YOU MAY LIKE IT OR NOT, IT IS THE BEST STRATEGY AND IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON.
ACCORDING TO INFORMATION REVEALED, THERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF PRIVATE MILITARY MACHINERIES THAT THE FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS HAVE APPROACHED ALSO FOR A BACK UP AND THEY ARE READY TO HELP DO THE JOB ON A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS NOT REVEALED BY THE SOURCE.
THAT IS THE REAL LIBERATION STRUGGLE FORMATION THAT CAN SERIOUSLY REMOVE YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM TO BRING CHANGE.
ACTUALLY LIBERATION POLITICS IS NOT ABOUT; ELECTIONS OR COMING UP WITH A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATES OF DIFFERENT ELECTIVE POSITIONS, NO NO NOT AT ALL.
LIBERATION POLITICS IS A STRUGGLE AND IT IS WAR .
TO LIBERATE THE NATION DOES NOT MEAN BRINGING A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, GO FOR ELECTIONS AND WIN AND CHANGE THE PRESIDENT, NO NO, NOT AT ALL
THERE’S NO ANY LIBERATION STRUGGLE MOVEMENT THAT EVER USED DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS TO END AN ABUSIVE CORRUPT OPPRESSIVE DICTATORIAL REGIME . AND MORE SO AN ABUSIVE CORRUPT OPPRESSIVE DICTATORIAL REGIME TO THE LEVELS OF THAT OF YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM’S EXTREMIST MILITARY RULERS IN UGANDA.
ELECTIONS CAN ONLY BE USED TO CHANGE THE PRESIDENT NOT TO LIBERATE THE NATION THAT HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY A MILITANT GROUP.
WHEN A NATION REQUIRES LIBERATION LIKE NOW IN UGANDA IT MEANS SUCH A DICTATORIAL REGIME HAS SURPASSED THOSE GAMES OF PLAYING ELECTROL POLITICS, BRINGING CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT OR MP. NO NO NOT AT ALL.
ELECTROL POLITICS CANNOT BE PLAYED IN A SITUATION WHERE THE COUNTRY IS CAPTURED UNDER SIEGE THE WAY IT IS IN UGANDA.
TO END SUCH AN ABUSIVE CORRUPT OPPRESSIVE DICTATORIAL BLACK TO BLACK APARTHEID REGIME OF YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM IN UGANDA IT NEEDS ALL THE PEOPLE AND THE GROUPS WHO ARE PURSUING FOR CHANGE TO FOLLOW THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OF BRIGHTISH DANIELS JUUKO MAZINGA THE IDEA OF FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS THAT WAS DECLARED BY THE PRESIDENT OF FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS BRIGHTISH DANIELS JUUKO MAZINGA, THAT ” WE SHALL NEVER AND NEVER AGAIN GO FOR ELECTIONS IN UGANDA WITH YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM, WE ARE GOING TO PUSH THEM OUT OF POWER BY FORCE SPARKED BY A MASSIVE PEOPLE’S UPRAISING IN A MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION THAT SHALL BE BACKED UP BY A COMBINED BACK UP OF EXTERNAL FORCES “.
THAT IS THE ONLY AND ONLY SUPERIOR IDEA THAT IS GOING TO WORK TO LIBERATE AND RESCUE UGANDA FROM THE ABUSIVE CORRUPT OPPRESSIVE DICTATORIAL BLACK TO BLACK APARTHEID REGIME OF YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM’S EXTREMIST MILITARY RULERS.
VALID REASONS AS TO WHY THE 2021 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN UGANDA IS USELESS, A POLITICAL RHETORIC TO HOODWINK UGANDANS YET ALL THOSE AGITATING FOR IT KNOW IT WELL THAT ELECTIONS CANNOT BRING ANYTHING OF VALUE OR OBJECTIVE RESULTS IN TERMS OF THE LIBERATION STRUGGLE AND THE CHANGE UGANDANS AND UGANDA AT LARGE NEEDS NOW.
In the first place a ballot paper cannot work to remove a dictator. Those who dream of using elections as a spark for a massive people’s upraising luck the rightful information of democratic elections; it’s an open lie for one to tell people that after elections then you go for people’s upraising calling it plan ‘B’ .
People’s upraising in a massive demonstration to demand for charge has never been plan ‘B’ in all countries where dictators have been removed, it has always been plan ‘A’ and actually a once off operation and it has worked successfully for many countries that include; Libya to remove Col. Muama Gadaffi, it worked to remove Sani of Tunisia, Hosin Mubarak of Egypt and Eli Bashir of Sudan. To remove all those dictatorial presidents referenced above, people’s massive upraising in a massive demonstration has never been plan “B” It has always been plan “A” and a once off and none of them failed.
2.There is No any country of reference that people waged a massive demonstration to remove a dictator after elections, it could take 3 to 4 years after elections for such people to go onto the streets to demand for change.
When you go for elections and lose it to the dictator through electrol rigging, you have to go to court not to the streets. Not until the court decision is made that is when you can get onto the streets and it’s only when the court decision is on your side wich is very impossible for the court in a dictatorial regime to decide on your favour.
Even if you wanted to force such a massive demonstration to occur after the court decision, it will be too late that most of the people would be already weakened and most of them already back to their usual businesses. You may not see them till the next five years for another turn of elections. In addition to that, if the court upholds the incumbent’s win, the international community won’t interfere in such to give you a back up as immediate, it will take some years for them in again. In this it means you have lost elections and lost the external forces that would have been there for you as backup if you had the massive people’s upraising without elections. Since an election is a democratic process, democracy its self is law so you have to battle it out through the courts of law.
CERTAINLY RIGHT NOW IN UGANDA THERE IS NO ANY SIGN OF THE OPPOSITION WINNING 2021 ELECTIONS; (a). Yoweri Museveni and his NRM regime has already rigged elections through the process of registration (process rigging) where close to 6 million refugees and some other foreign nationals have been registered as Ugandan citizens to vote for Yoweri Museveni which shall be very difficult for you to bring to court as a reason since you did not take it to court to stop such a process rigging through registration of refugees and foreign nationals (b). The opposition itsself is devided on pararel lines, they have all failed to agree on the rightful idea to remove the dictator. Others are dreaming of 2021 elections, others have vowed not to go for elections if Yoweri Museveni is on the ballot paper and others proposed to boycott elections. All these factors give Yoweri Museveni a very competitive adge to win which has never happened before in his lifetime. (c). Most of the politicians and their supporters propagating and campaigning so much for 2021 elections are not genuinely about ousting the dictator Yoweri Museveni, they just use it to hoodwink the electorates and to use them for their own goals of taking up other elective positions; many of them are looking at using this chance to become members of parliament, others city mayor, others on district positions and councillors. this is very evident that all them have already chosen their respective constituencies. Second to that is that of those pushing for 2021elections are not all people power, many have been deployed by NRM/Yoweri Museveni to encourage people to go for elections 2021 as it his favourite or sugar. After hearing the FLD’s declaration and calling onto the not to go for elections but to use force, the NRM deployed too many of its members to hide in people power to campaign for people power as they push people to accept that elections 2021 will work to remove the dictator. WATCH OUT UGANDANS DON’T ALLOW TO BE USED WHEN WE HAVE A DIRE NEED FOR CHANGE SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE TO SCORE GOALS OF GETTING INTO PARLIAMENT TO GET MONEY. There is no such a liberation struggle where the proponents choose candidature positions, no no no not at all, it has never happened anywhere in the history of liberation struggles. WATCH OUT UGANDANS WATCH OUT!!!
HERE IS WHAT IS IN PLACE AS THE RIGHTFUL, PERFECT AND SURE STRATEGY TO REMOVE YOWERI MUSEVENI AND HIS NRM, TO BRING CHANGE AND HOLISTICALLY LIBERATE THE NATION;
Let all who need charge say in one voice that ” We shall never go for anymore elections with Yoweri Museveni and his NRM, we are going to push Yoweri Museveni and his NRM out power by force that shall be sparked by people’s upraising in a massive demonstration that shall be backed up by external forces to help us to depose the dictator “
Many people in politics have always played on the minds Ugandans and used them to gain paying elective positions. This time round its no mre. There is also the lies they use saying that “elections is just going to be used as a spark ” where in this world that they used elections as a spark to remove a dictator??? Ugandans be cautiously aware any reason you give against a dictator can lead you to the streets or can be used as a spark to demand for change. FLD SAVE UGANDA PATRIOTS We highly appreciate the ideology of pushing the dictator Yoweri Museveni and his NRM regime by force that shall be sparked by people’s upraising in a massive demonstration that shall be backed up by external forces to depose a dictator. Ugandans get set for that. FLD the Save Uganda Patriots have done enough work toward that, just be ready and wait for the whistle on a day when we have to go to the streets after confirming it with prospective backups. THANKS SO MUCH THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES.
The East African Court of Justice has declined to stop a case in which controversial Kampala based Lawyer Male Mabiirizi wants the court to halt the proceedings of the Uganda electoral Commission to to implement it’s plan to prepare the 2021 elections.
This is a big blow to the Museveni led government,the case will now be heard by the Arusha based court.
Mabiriizi argues that Uganda has violated the EAC Treaty on the principles of good governance, failed to adhere to the principles of democracy, the rule of law, social justice and the maintenance of universally accepted standards of human rights.
However, Uganda’s Attorney -General William Byaruhanga, his deputy Mwesigwa Rukutana, Solicitor-General Francis Atoke, acting Director of Litigation Christine Kahwa and more than nine lawyers including George Karemera (Principal State Attorney) have asked the EACJ to dismiss the case with costs.
President Museveni, through AG Byaruhanga, terms the application “frivolous and vexatious.”
The EACJ has ruled that it has jurisdiction over the matter, paving the way for another clash between Mr Mabirizi and AG Byaruhanga. The court will determine whether Uganda violated the EAC Treaty.

Coronavirus brings out anti-Chinese sentiment in South Korea
Racism witnessed globally spreads to South Korea as panic over new virus outbreak begins to take root.by Kelly Kasulis23 hours ago
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases spiked in South Korea this week [Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images]
The COVID-19 virus has forced countries around the world to confront racism and xenophobia – so much, in fact, that a Wikipedia page has been dedicated to compiling hate-fuelled incidents.
In the United States, an Asian woman wearing a face mask was physically assaulted in New York City by a stranger who called her “diseased”.
South Koreans, too, are now forced to take a hard look at its anti-Chinese racism as panic begins to take root.
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases spiked from about 28 on February 12 to 204 and one death as of February 21.
But even though the sudden rise was caused by a singular South Korean woman now nicknamed “super ajumma” (or “super middle-aged lady”), many South Koreans continue to blame coronavirus’ spread on Chinese people.
“If you look online, a lot of the comments from netizens put the blame on the Chinese,” said Felicia Istad, a PhD candidate who researches South Korean diversity policy at Korea University.
“I have heard and seen that there are shops in Korea putting up signs like ‘no Chinese welcome’ on the door, and I know that there are quite aggressive comments all over [the web].”
Animosity
South Korea’s relationship with China has always been somewhat geopolitically fraught, from the THAAD missile crisis to Beijing’s semi-supportive relationship of North Korea. Nevertheless, the two countries still have strong ties.
China is South Korea’s largest trade partner in both imports and exports, and Chinese travellers account for the largest portion of tourists to the country, making up about 34 percent of total visitors in December 2019 alone.
However, that has not stopped hate in the age of coronavirus.
“Chinese people are by far the largest immigrant population in South Korea. There are many Chinese students at Korean universities and you have more and more Chinese people settling here in the long term,” Istad said.
“Yet, it’s really common to hold prejudice against Chinese people here – there are stereotypes that Chinese people are noisy or not hygienic, for instance.”
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in South Korea passed 200 on Friday [Heo Ran/Reuters]
In January, more than half a million South Koreans signed a petition to the presidential Blue House calling for a total ban on Chinese visitors.
Several Seoul-area newspapers have reported about “No Chinese” signs cropping up on South Korean businesses, with some simply banning foreigners altogether.
Meanwhile, a popularly known logo from previous boycotts on Japanese goods, which were caused by a colonial-era forced labour dispute, has been re-purposed into an internet meme that spreads anti-Chinese sentiment.READ MORE
Instead of “No Japan”, the meme says: “No China” – “No thank you, fine dust pollution and Wuhan coronavirus. Boycott China.”
“It’s a shame that people are showing their prejudice against the Chinese,” said Moon Tae-sun, a university student who studies in Seoul.
“I think this shouldn’t be seen as an issue of someone’s nationality, but instead as a public health issue. Koreans can travel to China and come back and spread the virus, too.”
“I am hesitant to admit it, but I do avoid Chinese tourists when I see them walking around the city,” said Cho YM, an office worker living in Seoul who asked to have her first name abbreviated, for fear of retribution.
“I have heard people say they want Chinese people out of here. I also would like them to leave, if I am being honest. It’s nothing personal – I am worried about the virus.”
Historical roots
It is no secret that there is tension between South Koreans and Chinese citizens, even when those Chinese citizens are ethnically Korean.
Internet lingo from Ilbe – a website made of young internet trolls – has nicknamed Chinese people “cockroaches” online, for example.
And even among popular Korean media, portrayals of Chinese immigrants can be less than flattering.
“You can see this if you look at movies from even the past few years,” Istad said.
She cited the 2017 film Midnight Runners, a fictional thriller about Chinese gangsters who kidnap children for organ trafficking.
The movie was so offensive to some Chinese residents in South Korea that a few dozen protested, asking director Kim Joo-hwan to apologise and retract it.
Another fictional movie from the same year – The Outlaws – is largely about police trying to reel in vicious crimes committed by gangs in a Seoul-area Chinatown.

“There are quite strong perceptions about those areas – that they are rampant with crimes, that there is prostitution, organ trafficking, a lot of violence, and I think in part this comes from news portrayed of Korean Chinese in South Korea,” Istad said.
“The stereotype is that they make their living off illegal activities. So, whenever there are crimes committed by Chinese or Korean-Chinese people, the news will describe them as such, rather than saying it’s just a violent crime committed by a generic individual.”
“More and more, we are also seeing these movies that portray these areas as places of violence and illegal business dealings,” Istad said.READ MORE
It is hard to tell where exactly the racism and animosity come from, but tension over real estate and South Korea’s hazardous air have been long-standing, even before the coronavirus outbreak.
Some South Koreans blame Chinese investors for allegedly overly developing Jeju Island, a popular vacation destination south of Busan, while others blame China for its high concentration of fine particulate matter pollution, which is linked to serious health problems.
It is unclear how much responsibility China truly bears for South Korea’s already-existing industrial air problems, but some South Korean citizens have even tried suing Beijing over the issue.
“I really think in Korea, you know, this issue around the coronavirus is fuelled by pre-existing anti-Chinese sentiment,” Istad said.
Not so prevalent
At least one South Korean scholar, however, said anti-Chinese sentiment is not as prevalent as one may think.
“Do I see a lot of anti-Chinese sentiment in South Korea? Not really,” said Andrew Eungi Kim, a sociology professor at Korea University.
“Yellow dust in the past was one of the major issues with China, as well as fine particulate matter, but the anti-Chinese sentiment is not comparable to what Koreans experience with Japan, for example.”
“But with coronavirus, there are disparaging remarks about how Chinese people deal with hygienic matters or things like that,” Kim added.
“I wouldn’t say it’s a strong anti-Chinese sentiment, but more like a sense of looking down on the Chinese.”

If you want to get rid of your dark elbows and knees, read on to find out the best possible ways to go about it.
Everybody wants to have an even skin tone, especially when it comes to the knuckles, elbows and knees.
But this is not always the case…and even if, sometimes, it does happen with the body, the knuckles, elbows, and knees are usually left out.
The reason for this is because the skin around the elbows and knees are usually thicker than the skin surrounding it. Additionally, it has more folds (because of the joints) and tends to be much drier because those parts do not produce oil.
Owing to these, lack of proper hygiene can result in having darker elbows and knees. But be that has it may, studies have shown that there are natural ways to lighten dark elbows and knees.
So, if you want to get rid of your dark elbows and knees, read on to find out the best possible ways to go about it.
Here are five natural ways to lighten dark elbows and knees
Lemon
Lemon has bleaching and exfoliating properties, and these properties can help even skin tone. It also contains a very high amount vitamin C which can help to remove dead cells and promote the regeneration of healthy skin cell as well.
Simply apply lemon juice on elbow, knees, and knuckles; massage gently, leave it for ten minutes and rinse with warm water. Do this for a couple of weeks to get result.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is a wonderful moisturizing agent. The vitamin E which is contained in it helps lighten skin tone and also prevent skin hydration.
And for an effective result, gently massage your elbows and knees with coconut oil for three minutes, before shower. You can also mix one teaspoon of coconut oil and a half teaspoon of lemon juice, rub on your dark elbows and knees every day and wipe off with paper towels after 15 to 20 minutes.
Aloe vera
Known for its numerous health benefits, aloe vera is also known to be a natural skin lightener, which does not only keep the skin hydrated and moisturized, but help make the skin supple as well.
Aloe vera is also believed to promote the repair of skin cells damaged by sun exposure.
If you’re using aloe vera, simply apply the gel extracted from a fleshy aloe vera leaf on the elbows and knees. And after letting it sit for about twenty minutes, you can wash it off with warm water.
It is advisable to do this twice a day in two weeks for an effective result.
Sugar
I bet you’re surprised, right? Well, it is what it is: Homemade sugar scrub is excellent for lightening the skin tone of knees and elbow because sugar help exfoliates dead skin cells and soften the skin.
When using sugar to lighten dark elbows and knees, simply mix sugar and olive oil equally and massage your knees and elbows circularly for five minutes, before shower. Continue to this until you see result.
Baking soda
Baking soda is another agent of skin lightener and it is also effective for rid of dark elbows and knees.
Simply mix baking soda with milk to get a thick paste, if you’re using baking soda, and apply the paste on your elbows and knees and rinse after five minutes.
You can do this once a week for two months to get the desired result.
