“The chief of Uganda’s military says he has ordered the closure of two of the country’s biggest media outlets. Muhoozi Kainerugaba said on Sunday that the Daily Monitor, the country’s largest independent daily newspaper, and NTV Uganda, one of the largest private broadcasters, were being shut down and would not reopen without his permission. ‘In Uganda, I do not believe in a free press!’ Kainerugaba, who is the president’s son, wrote on X. ‘From now on ALL bad stories about Uganda have to be cleared by my office!’ he said in one of a series of posts, adding that all media in Uganda would follow the rules, going forward.” (06/28/26)
