Ugandan military chief Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the eldest son of President Yoweri Museveni, orders the closure of a major news organization in Kampala. Multiple reports say the shutdown is carried out on his instructions and that soldiers are deployed around the media outlet’s offices. According to the outlets, Kainerugaba warns that media must “follow the rules,” and he frames the decision as part of enforcing his authority. One report adds that he announced the decision through posts on X and says the outlets remain closed until he authorises their reopening. The reports also link the move to recent political developments, noting that Museveni is sworn in for a seventh consecutive term and that Kainerugaba has issued a series of directives that some descriptions portray as going beyond typical military roles. While the articles agree on the shutdown order and the messaging around media compliance, they do not provide details on the specific allegations or regulations that prompted the closure. The incident underscores tensions between the military leadership’s directives and media operations in Uganda.
