💨 Abstract

Uganda's government has banned live broadcasts of riots and violent incidents ahead of the January 15 election, where President Yoweri Museveni seeks another term against opposition figure Bobi Wine. The ban aims to prevent escalation of tensions. Authorities have detained hundreds of opposition supporters, and rights groups accuse security forces of repression. Museveni, in power since 1986, faces criticism for alleged human rights abuses.
