The district also contains the Cyanika border post, gateway to Kisoro and southwestern Uganda.

gollark: I have other uses for such a thing and a friend to split the cost with, so probably going to obtain that for Christmas or something.
gollark: I was looking at renting a VPS and doing that. It wouldn't provide anonymity but my mobile provider is annoying in some ways.

gollark: 5G is overhyped, I don't want a high res screen which will drain the battery fast, I don't really photograph stuff, etc.
