I'm actually in Uganda now. You have no idea what's going on.
I'll post more from Ethiopia in a few hours lol.
So basically the president shut down all social media in Uganda, so TW/FB/et al retaliated by locking a bunch of gov and officials' accounts. Then the gov went ahead and effectively shut down the country's main cell phone provider by throttling them so much as to render the network unusable.
There might be more, but this is what I'm hearing from people I'm meeting here. They're basically expecting bloodshed this week.
