Hello Independent,
I hope you are well.
Regarding your news here on Uganda Para-Badminton International 2024, I have not seen you writing about Uganda players who made it to semi-finals under WH 2, WH 1, MD WH 1 – WH 2, SL 3, SU 5 and finals under WH 1.
In your online news, surprisingly you don’t mention Ugandan players any where.
Am wondering why you left us Ugandans out!
