Uganda’s government has announced a ban on live broadcasting of what it calls “riots” and “unlawful processions” just days before the January 15 election. Critics argue the move targets anti-government protests and limits media freedom as President Yoweri Museveni seeks to extend his 40-year rule against challenger Bobi Wine. Amnesty International has raised concerns over arrests, police violence, and the potential for an internet shutdown. Authorities deny plans to restrict access, but fears remain after moves to block Starlink services. As tensions rise, Uganda’s election faces intense scrutiny at home and abroad.

SAY NO TO M7 UGANDANS 🤬😡 WE ARE VERY SICK AND TIRED OF M7 , NRM 😡 THUGS GOON'S KILLING , UGANDANS JAILING, STEALING FROM UGANDANS, INTIMIDATION, NO RULE OF LAW.
PROCESSIONS DURING CAMPAIGNS ARE NOT UNLAWFUL IN UGANDA.
If the rest of the world join ugandans and help we can push museveni criminal regime, museveni wants to lock the rest of the world out so that he can murder ugandans in cold blood. Please president Trump come and help ugandans.
Museveni killer must go enough is enough
As Ugandans we need help, we are so helpless
Yes this is Uganda government 😢😢😢😢😢
they want more blood as usual
The man can hardly walk yet wants to lead a country of hungry young people want to run, his family will have it rough when he leaves
Why can't African leaders let it go ???
We pray for Uganda to be free from museveni's criminal regime.
Museveni want to kill Ugandan Analogue way while Offline
The violence that will be visited upon uganda opposition,will be unprecedented.lts quite telling that,the Oligarch just like his peer in cameroon,has consciously decided to DIE in office.
Who would allow riots if a leader.
Opposition all over the world plays dirty games to win sympathy but it doesnt mean they're right, they equally have selfish interests.
Alot of noise is made on media but Musevenis good things outweigh the bad things.
No need to rush him afterall he's old but we appreciate his leadership for uganda and africa
Pls save Uganda 😢❤ it's my roots
I swear some of these comments are bots. Only a local can truly understand our situation. Museveni may be a dictator but at least were stable compared to to some of our neighbours(South Sudan and Congo).And i dislike the violence used in rallies but some of these supporters also go overboard , like man u dont wear yellow around them. Still imo the internet shud stay on, there is a limit to the damage Protests can cause and a blocking of communication could actually lead to more chaos
99.9% OF UGANDANS ARE FED UP, WE ARE FED UP OF THIS #ROTEN #DICTATOR A #REFUGEE
We're tired of being ruled by Dictator museveni and his family, 40 years in power busy killing and abducting innocent Ugandans
Please all world 🌍 help as to get another chance we need change 🙏 we need change 🙏🤲 we need HE, ROBERT KYAGULANYI SENTAMU 🤞 for the president of Uganda 🏖️✅👑 please 🙏
Museveni be stopped immediately is a pathetic liar
UN military council should intervene
But is this Uganda or am in another country 😅😅😅
Fake news
Please Donald Trump start with Uganda about election rig Please help Africa 🌍 to stop this riging of election
Since independence the political history of our country has been written in blood every leader comes and goes with war
Museveni will shutdown the internet but Ugandans will rise because he is joking with a wrong generation . museveni is scared because he now owns 20 % of the votes and even on the 20% most of them are the wealthiest in his authoritaterian regime so he can't survive the majority whose plight is too heavy to bear .
Museveni must go by all means possible
#kyagulanyithe10th
It's because they want torture Ugandans in the dark so that the internetional community doesn't get to know
BECAUSE UGANDAN AUTHORITY IS GOING TO TURN OFF #SHUT #DOWN THE INTERNET.

Who can save us please
God bless President Museveni, may he win one more term. Thank you for decades of peace and stability after decades of instability and war. As for many of the comments supporting Bobbi Wine, most of these are AI bots run by former colonial powers and their friends churning out the same comments on every video that mentions his name to brainwash Ugandans and manipulate the election. Peace and love
Thank you for the updates❤
Protect The Gains
MUSEVEN HAS A LOT OF SUPPORT WHAT YOUR SEEING ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS JUST PROPAGANDA
