UGANDA GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN SOCIAL MEDIA. Sunday 1 July 2018. The government of Yoweri Museveni who has been in power for 33 years is facing a revolution similar to Arab Spring that showed many dictators the exit out of office. The people of Uganda have suffered under Museveni government for the break down of services. Many Ugandans started pouring their frustrations on social media’s calling for the removal of Museveni. The international community has been hipping praises on dictator Museveni and the world Bank and IMF have been giving false economic growth rates for the regime in Kampala oblivious of the people’s sufferings. The current exchange rate of a dollar to a shilling is $1 to 4000shs. The government starting July 1st, 2018 has levied $0.90 daily tax on the Internet thus making it impossible for the citizens to access the Internet. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world and putting internet tax on the people, will further isolate the country from accessing international news and also the tax will impact businesses that rely on internet. Ugandans are trying to fight the taxes by accessing other internet providers such a VPN that made it possible for the Ethiopians to access the Internet, after the Internet was blocked in that country.

UGANDA GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN SOCIAL MEDIA.

Sunday 1 July 2018.

The government of Yoweri Museveni who has been in power for 33 years is facing a revolution similar to Arab Spring that showed many dictators the exit out of office.

The people of Uganda have suffered under Museveni government for the break down of services. Many Ugandans started pouring their frustrations on social media’s calling for the removal of Museveni. The international community has been hipping praises on dictator Museveni and the world Bank and IMF have been giving false economic growth rates for the regime in Kampala oblivious of the people’s sufferings. The current exchange rate of a dollar to a shilling is $1 to 4000shs.

The government starting July 1st, 2018 has levied $0.90 daily tax on the Internet thus making it impossible for the citizens to access the Internet. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world and putting internet tax on the people, will further isolate the country from accessing international news and also the tax will impact businesses that rely on internet.

Ugandans are trying to fight the taxes by accessing other internet providers such a VPN that made it possible for the Ethiopians to access the Internet, after the Internet was blocked in that country.
