Bobi Wine Urges Use of Bitchat Amid Imminent Internet Shutdown in Uganda
- Internet Shutdown Warning: Opposition leader Bobi Wine has alerted that the Ugandan government may shut down the internet during the January 14, 2026 elections, a tactic historically used to hinder voter organization and information verification.
- Promotion of Bitchat: Wine is urging supporters to download the decentralized Bitchat app to maintain rapid communication with thousands during potential government-imposed communication blackouts, thereby enhancing voter mobilization and information sharing.
- Historical Lessons: In the 2021 elections, the Ugandan government blocked internet access for four days, starting the day before the election, highlighting the regime's intent to control information, making Bitchat a potentially effective tool against such strategies.
- Starlink Restrictions: Concurrently, the Ugandan government has restricted the importation of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet, requiring clearance from the Chief of Defense Forces, indicating the regime's heightened vigilance over internet access, which could impact voter choice and information availability.
