Ugandan Police Raid Offices of at Least Two Newspapers
Looks like someone didn't like reports that the president is preparing for his son to succeed him
Ugandan police have raided the offices of at least two newspapers following reports that President Yoweri Museveni is grooming his son to succeed him.
Two radio stations have also been taken off air, the state-owned New Vision newspaper reports.
Last week, newspapers reported claims allegedly made by an army general that those opposed to Mr Museveni's son succeeding him risk being killed.
