Uganda Somewhat Back Online
The internet was partially restored in Uganda on Monday almost five days after a near-total blackout was imposed across the East African country ahead of the election that saw President Yoweri Museveni re-elected for a 6th term in office.
A vote that main opposition leader Bob Wine has since denounced as fraudulent.
Lydia Aoko, a local movie shop owner, appears to feel the blackout was not the end of the world. The coming back of the internet is exciting, but if you go back to the issue of security, it is really not bad switching off the internet in order to keep the people in the country calm, she said.
