Uganda’s top general shutters major media outlets, signaling a tightening grip on power
Uganda’s de facto ruler Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba ordered the closure of several Nation Media Group outlets and warned that all media will have to follow his rules, with soldiers sealing the Daily Monitor offices in Kampala. The move reflects a rapid consolidation of power by Kainerugaba as Museveni’s successor and raises alarms about press freedom in the East African nation.
