🚨UPDATE: Sometime back, NTV News reporter Solomon Kaweesa did this story of how Nation Media Group (NMG) and the government have been battling since its establishment.
They have been closed several times, but what NMG didn't stop, no matter how many times it has been closed, is reporting facts.
And today, it happened again. The military, on the orders of Museveni’s son and the military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba has shuttered NTV, SPARK TV, and Daily Monitor because they refused to be compromised
Let this be clear: the shutdown of NMG outlets is not just an attack on a media house it is an assault on the very soul of our democracy. The fight for the rule of law and a free press is the fight for our collective future. When the truth is silenced, tyranny thrives.
Journalism is not a crime

From inside the palace: Uganda President Yoweri Museveni's son-in-law Odrek Rwabwogo says he's extremely worried to the core about the direction the country is taking.
Rwabwogo has asked Ugandans to unite and speak out.
He says the army and NRM's vote rigging, bribery, ballot stuffing, shooting of voters in the 2026 general elections and monetisation of the country's politics are a bigger threat to Uganda than foreign invasion, flooding, and earthquake, because now it doesn't pay to be good at what you do and as such, we can't get good leaders, good teachers, good doctors anymore.
UPDATE: Security operatives have raided the residence of former Minister for Ethics and Integrity, Miria Matembe.
Matembe said the operatives arrived at around 10:00 AM and found a caretaker before forcing entry into her home and leaving with several items, including electronic gadgets.
She has been a vocal critic of government and has frequently spoken out on human rights violations.

Before the photos make it to the Internet;
During detention, I was stripped naked, photographed and warned that if I ever release classified information from a “certain office” again, the photos will be published!
So brace yourselves because I’m not about to stop!
