These days, each time I see wild animals out of their traditional habitat, I am reminded of destruction of mother earth in the name of development.

A couple of months ago, we had visitors, monkeys at out centre and I wondered how long they had come. I wondered if they had come all the way from Karuma to Lira City, a distance of about 80 kilometers.

Of monkeys out of their natural habitat, I am wondering if a recent post of mine has been perceived in the realm of ‘monkey business.’

It started off trending and I even received a notification from WordPress of a bump in traffic to my blog. And shortly after the post indicated it had only one view?

HERE IS THE LINK to the post: “Diary of Undecided Voter on Presidential Debate.”

I ask you help. Please clink on the link, read and leave a comment of your insights as to whether you would categorize it ‘monkey business’ material.

And I wonder whether it is the reason why this past week my blog is receiving a lot of traffic from the United States and China?

I am tickled that the top two trending posts on my blog this past week are posts I authored in 2014 and on food security.

But, I cannot help wonder if the interest in my blog is because I am considered to have engaged in monkey business.

Am I in trouble I wonder?

Am I overly sensitive for we are in the period of the 2025 “16 days of activism against gender-based violence” themed “End digital violence against all women and girls.”

Suppressing my posts and therefore my views online, which appears to be the case, I consider digital violence.

I am obviously concerned about it and feeling a little harassed.

It is is a form of psychological torture.

Could I be feeling exactly the same as wild animals whose natural habitats are disturbed to the extent they have to move out to places where we human now see them undignified?
