Dicatator Museveni has authorised switching off the social media to stem what an official said was a “dangerous flow of hate message and calls for violence” ahead of Dictator Museveni’s inauguration tomorrow.
This won’t be the first time social media platforms are being shut down in Uganda.
On the eve of the February 18 elections, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter were disconnected to prevent what government said was the spread of hate content on the forums.
“We are switching off social media today,” said a highly placed source who preferred anonymity so as to speak freely.
On Wednesday, a video of opposition leader Dr Kizza Besigye swearing-in went viral on internet.
