  • 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.

  • Self-Censorship As a Self-Defence Strategy for Journalists
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 5–14 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v8i1.2512 Article Democracy at Stake: Self-Censorship as a Self-Defence Strategy for Journalists Gerald Walulya * and Goretti L. Nassanga Department of Journalism & Communication, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda; E-Mails: [email protected] (G.W.), [email protected] (G.L.N.) * Corresponding author Submitted: 30 September 2019 | Accepted: 30 December 2019 | Published: 25 February 2020 Abstract The media play an essential role of informing and mobilising voters as well as facilitating a two-way communication process between citizens and those vying for electoral offices during elections. This allows citizens to get information on various issues from the contenders, which largely informs their electoral decisions. In most less democratic societies however, this media function is increasingly becoming difficult to fulfil due to challenges journalists encounter during electoral pro- cesses. Using Uganda’s last general elections in 2016 as a case study, this article discusses the safety of journalists during elections basing on findings from a bigger study on the media coverage of the 2016 elections, supplemented by in-depth interviews with 10 journalists who covered the elections. In addition, the analysis makes reference to the 2016 Uganda Press Freedom Index. Findings of this research show that journalists face more safety and security risks during elections particularly perpetuated by state security agencies. Compared to previous elections, the 2016 elections also recorded the highest number of victims who were female journalists. This article highlights key challenges journalists face during elections, which include: state harassment and intimidation, arrest of those considered critical to the state, and denial of access to important information.
