Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on August 15, 1944)

Happy Birthday, President Museveni! It seems you've found the secret to political longevity—37 years and counting as Uganda’s top authority. From being admired by global leaders back in 1986 (the days your cowboy hat was trendsetting) until that slight misadventure into Congo territory earned you some unexpected international headlines—you truly never fail to amaze.

Speaking of successes: you're definitely skilled at keeping journalists busy documenting your endless terms and vigorous debates about retirement plans—or lack thereof. Here's hoping this year brings fewer military expeditions abroad, more peaceful endeavors domestically—and perhaps even another fresh new style for that iconic hat collection!
