bandung will want a good assumption. on that we do good we also feel that it's good to be here but. that those who think it is a burden weren't given long to express it police arrested protest leaders who will be one supporters managed to drag him away the prime minister since told parliament that he doesn't move would be the controversial taxes. city clear that this kind of opposition to them won't be tolerated. malcolm webb how does iraq come paula uganda. let's get more on this joining us from the accountant capital kampala is sally hayden who's a journalist there thanks for joining us on al-jazeera how much is this to do with attacks on gossip as it seems the government is putting out and how much is about stifling freedom of speach. i mean i think that the idea of
3:01 am
the idea of free speech are not necessarily distinct well. the president has made an argument that they do need to raise more taxes and i have spoken to very very few number of ugandans who have said that they recognize that ugandans pay a lot less tax than other people do but critics and most people i meet are either critics or they're quite bewildered by the whole thing they say that it's stifling free speech it's crushing opposition and they also say that the government mismanages funds so why should they trust a government to give them more funds anyway if the government is going to mismanage them and they also say that it's going to affect business people around the world who i guess just enjoy using social media in a free way will be appalled at the idea that people are going to be taxed for using for basically chatting with their friends online how unpopular is it in the country
3:02 am
. yeah i mean as i said like most people that i've spoken to that. either angry or just bewildered and i was in a bar on a saturday night and i saw so many ugandans and foreigners looking at their phones kind of wondering why their messages weren't going through because people thought this was a joke they didn't think that it was actually going to come in and it's made people really realize the amount of ways that they use social media for business. students use it to share kind of study resources and people use it to chat all the time you know just sending selfies to their parents and in villages far away and stuff like that which actually has become quite an important part of family life. and when we look at the whole question of whether this is trying to stifle critics of i mean there are there are countries all over the world that have tried to control social media over the fire walls around social media just to stop people using them how likely is that the government in uganda can stop people gossiping changing
3:03 am
switching opinions and talking about maybe opposition things. with this kind of tax because this is not going to stop people as long as they can afford it i suppose. yeah i mean the people they won't be stopped are the ones who can afford it or heed the ones who are technologically savvy enough to die and. or you know find out their way around it but the people in villages who don't have a lot of money and students people like that are they're going to be the ones affected and i think it's worth pointing out that this is one in a line of kind of means of stifling opposition that have happened quite recently that have been brought in by this government one of them i said yesterday the first local government elections in seventeen years did away with secret this and i actually attended one and watched as as people seem defrayed to vote because you had to publicly show who you were voting for and you'd face criticism if you voted
3:04 am

i really don't know how to define it it's not possible for me to the thing that's it's just one of those things that you feel this is yes yes i believe in this i'm so i'm not but i'm an independent on a mission for america. that's about the idea that. affords dongles raised. it's about it's about the believing in you again it's about that. as a filmmaker i would want my audience to support that when men begin first as a unit i would definitely want my audience to be a jumble with it and say yes this is what i want and. i have tried to be very
3:16 am
honest with the film the story isn't mine yes i. repaired off from my sister was a childhood incident she was the one who planted chocolate all of them so i have put an element of my childhood off but i suppose in my influences that i've had. the little incidents that used to take place in my own backyard i have cried a little bit of everything to stay honest to the whole thing but still take the whole even from my point of view. i'm trying to create that language where this kid is a shy kid and it doesn't speak to that is how i ended up not giving him more. than a word of the need to be i wanted him to express through the i just didn't want him to think shout and scream and cry just assure that his discipline i wondered something which is very subtle that he expresses but it's very an expression is
3:17 am
a shy kid although he doesn't speak he would still stand up for his dreams but his belief. the nation will give you a lot of difficulty because you know the rules but when it when it comes down the flipping those pages and understanding animation or everything goes for cost at least my first five line drawings following for themselves because i didn't know what they were like i did and they were not working on though there was this one man that i started to like and i said yes i'm going to go it's really. i can't tell you the number of problems that i phased you. bang my head was i would not have been on a mission right when it came that owns i laid my mind was always walking in one particular direction because i have been born and brought up but those are the images that have come across all the banks so i know what i sat good with all i
3:18 am
ever knew my exposure maybe a school a clue that i ended up doing the same bank owns all that by. mixing what along with digital it gives you more freedom then it kind of gave me the opportunity late going thought about going on one on a digital level and then use these natural their shows and all luck and marginal money but i don't get an image their lives we've really of. if i have to visualize my kitchen. i don't visualize a dark blue because those are the on those that i haven't been in no make that when i see it i see here that there could have been a better shot than i could have taken a shot sort of an establishment. you know follow on building even on a nation i just wondered the goal of what i what what my mind makes me think like the image of the magic that comes to my mind is when i will go away.
3:19 am
from this one film because of the kind of film and those and also tell you about the soul of this guy and i just wanted to follow the sort i just wonder before i make. stuff as if it doesn't have structure i don't mean it's ok and i'm fine with that that are. news is happening faster than ever before from different place.
