Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine accuses Elon Musk’s Starlink of cutting internet access in Uganda days before Jan. 15 elections, saying the shutdown helps President Museveni suppress dissent and free expression.
See new posts Conversation BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine Hey @elonmusk , as you cheer the fall of a dictator in Venezuela, here in Uganda your @Starlink has disabled citizens' access to its internet just days to the January 15th election in which we seek to peacefully end Museveni’s 40-year-old dictatorship! Like other dictators, Museveni has suffocated free expression, engaged in mass killings, brutally persecuted the opposition, and suppressed citizens' rights - among other atrocities. Please reactivate Starlink internet access in Uganda so that citizens can be able to communicate and stand a fair chance at shaping their destiny. Democracy dies in darkness!
