    Analysis of Twitter Activity on Election Eve and Election Day in Uganda

    #UgandaDecides Analysis of Twitter Activity on Election Eve and Election Day in Uganda Monitoring Uganda Elections Series 02 #UgandaDecides April 2016 Uganda held presidential and parliamentary elections on February 18, 2016. In the lead-up to the elections, Uganda held the first presidential debates. See an analysis of Twitter Activity around the debates. Excitement about the election was palpable in online commentary on the eve of the elections. However, on the morning of the Election Day, many were unable to access social media sites including Facebook and Twitter, the popular money transfer service Mobile Money, and the mobile-based texting platform Whatsapp. The national communications regulator, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), had instructed service providers to block access to these platforms in a bid to “protect public order and safety”. This action instead resulted in users turning to Introduction Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in order to circumvent the blockage and exercise their right to freedom of expression, access and share information on the voting and vote tallying processes. Figure 1: A tweep points out the violation of Freedom of Expression following the shutdown of social media platforms President Yoweri Museveni defended the shutdown in a press conference saying, “There must be steps taken for security to stop so many creating trouble… it’s temporary. It will go away. Because some people misuse those pathways. You know how they misuse them, telling lies. If you want a right, then use it properly.” Further, the UCC claimed that the instruction to shut down social media was made by the Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura.

Quinn1 Doctoral Candidate Department of Political Science McMaster University YCISS Working Paper Number 19 March 2003 The YCISS Working Paper Series is designed to stimulate feedback from other experts in the field. The series explores topical themes that reflect work being undertaken at the Centre. 1 I wish to thank Dr. Rhoda Howard-Hassmann of McMaster University for our on-going dialogue on this subject. I also gratefully acknowledge the support of Dr. William Coleman and the Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition of McMaster University, and of the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa, Canada. In the aftermath of a period of gross atrocity at the hands of the state, the restoration of the political and social fabric of a country is a pressing need. In the case of Uganda from the mid-1960s forward, this need was particularly real. Almost since the country had gained independence from Britain in 1962, a series of brutal governmental regimes had ransacked the country, and had viciously dealt with its inhabitants. Nearly thirty years of mind-numbing violence, perpetrated under the regimes of Idi Amin and Milton Obote, culminated in a broken society. Where once had stood a capable people, able to provide for themselves on every level, now was found a country whose economic, political, and social systems were seriously fractured. Under both Obote and Amin, as well as the transitional governments in place between and immediately following these regimes, democracy and the rule of law had been suspended.
  • Uganda Relations

    Uganda Relations

    India-Uganda Relations The bilateral relations between India and Uganda are characterised by historical cultural linkages, extensive economic and trade interests, and a convergence on major bilateral and international issues. A 27000+ Indian/PIO population in Uganda, a bilateral trade of nearly US$ 1.3 billion, a steady surge of Indian investments making India consistently one of the top investors in Uganda, capacity building training programmes and institutions, and a common and deep respect for universal values like democracy and peace reinforce the architecture of India-Uganda bilateral relations. Trade and economic interests brought several Indians to the shores of East Africa as early as the 17th century in dhows laden with their wares. Eventually a number of Indians settled in East Africa, and many made Uganda their home. India's freedom struggle inspired the early Ugandan activists to fight colonization and Uganda eventually achieved Independence in 1962. India established it diplomatic presence in Uganda in 1965. Except for the era of Idi Amin’s reign in early 70's when nearly 55,000 Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and 5000 Indian nationals were expelled and their properties confiscated, relations between the two countries have since been cordial. The anti-Indian policies of Amin were reversed when the current President YoweriKagutaMuseveni came to power in 1986. The current Government’s progressive policies ensured that the India-Uganda relations were restored to erstwhile levels. Uganda remains an important partner in Africa. India and Uganda closely cooperate at regional and international fora. Exchange of High-Level Visits: From India: • Prime Minister Shri.
