A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

2022 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Idi Amin’s expulsion of Uganda’s Asian minority.
