Default Uganda Election : Internet Cut on eve of tense election

Younger Bobi Wine takes on President Yoweri Museveni
Election Tomorrow.

Report On Ch4HDnews
showed Wine with Body armour on
he was visiting a Funeral of a Supporter of him was
Shot Dead.



ABC news:
[KAMPALA, Uganda -- Ugandan authorities appeared
to cut off internet access in the country
Wednesday night on the eve of a tense
presidential election, while a lawyer for
leading opposition candidate Bobi Wine
said all contact had been lost with him.
“Confirmed: Uganda is now in the midst
of a nation-scale internet blackout,”
watchdog NetBlocks said in a statement
saying connectivity levels had dropped
to 33% of usual levels. Ugandans using
leading internet service providers MTN
and Airtel said they could no longer get online.

The U.S.-based counsel for Wine, Bruce Afran,
told reporters that the candidate “is now
in his compound with his wife and a
single staff member who is unarmed
and is not security personnel ... Security
and police
are stationed outside his home
and effectively encircled it.”]

Ugandans go to the polls on Thursday after one of the most keenly-watched and violent election campaigns in a generation, as the pop star politician Bobi Wine tries to unseat Yoweri Museveni from his 34-year rule.

Wine is one of nine opposition challengers, and has won the support of many young people in Uganda – where the median age is 15.7 – with his charismatic, anti-corruption message.

Many observers see the challenge to Museveni, who at 76 is twice as old as his challenger, as emblematic of a continent-wide generational struggle between ageing leaders who refuse to relinquish power and younger voters mobilising against them.

Violent suppression of Wine’s supporters by security forces points to Museveni’s concern over the threat Wine poses to a sixth term in power, which was only made possible when MPs changed the constitution to remove age limits. He has repeatedly accused Wine of being a “traitor” planning a foreign-backed insurrection.

..it’s reported that more than 55 people dead ...(...presumably since the start of the election campaigns...)...but I’m thinking that it could be a lot more and cutting the Internet prevents k owing these things truthfully...?...

That singer candidate has no chance, they're scared of someone fresh and new.

They'd rather stick with an old deraged idiot . Did anyone see the C4 interview?? . He was incoherent and ridiculous the things he was saying .

Ch4HDnews reports Bobbi Wine is under House Arrest
he can not leave his home,
The Army is stopping him.

The Internet is still not on ?



The Corrupt Leader Museveni
has total control.

No one is causing trouble
as they could be shot dead.
