This week, Uganda’s ruling NRM party informed journalists that any further applications to cover President Yoweri Museveni’s campaign ahead of the January 2026 polls would be denied. The International Press Association of Uganda calls for these limits on access to be removed.

As Uganda's elections approach, government agencies have a responsibility to uphold press freedom. We condemn the censorship of Nation Media Group journalists covering parliamentary politics.

“Blocking journalists from reporting on the legislature and the presidency reflects the Ugandan government’s aversion to independent scrutiny and poses serious threats to press freedom as the country prepares for elections in January,” said CPJ Africa Regional Director @angelaquintal.

“Authorities must immediately lift all restrictions on Nation Media Group-Uganda journalists and guarantee full media access for public institutions.”

Congrats to @alex_j_white for his new article in @aeonmag! Sixty years on, The Autobiography of Malcolm X still shapes how we think about the Black nationalist leader - but does the final text reflect Malcolm's vision, or that of his co-author Alex Haley?
