In the heart of Kampala, independent journalists risk everything to uncover the truth. As Uganda’s government tightens its grip on the media, reporters face legal threats, censorship, and violence. With press freedom under siege, the fight for independent journalism has never been more critical.
Uganda’s ongoing ban on Facebook, initially imposed before the 2021 elections, continues to raise concerns about digital authoritarianism, freedom of expression, and economic impact.
