The Eastern Africa Editors Society (EAES) has demanded the complete withdrawal of military personnel from Ugandan media premises, describing their presence as an assault on press freedom.
The demand follows the closure of Ugandan TV stations, newspapers and radio outlets by army chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also the son of president Yoweri Museveni.
The reasons that led to the closure is still unclear, but Kainerugaba in an X post says: “I do not believe in a free press! The press should be guided by cadres of the revolution.”
