a number of laws have been in my pocket that restrict people's and you didn't get the country right nor so i don't know about me some busted in with it the government says and then i do not use any of this getting your notice it's been or is one different line try to not get it to reveal what is up in that was in the country using more roco i didn't and i normally get all right your organization has called full a national conference to discuss the issues off kidnapping why. of course it is quite it's quite strange that over now a number of people are missing and for that it's the f.b.i. and for some of them are coming by some of the quickest. and the city last minute i've been issued a number of people up when one that will disappear will reach the number of 100 so that no one not 100 people among them will have to be done at least be and we have been but i've been for the johnson or even chief that they will post some of the

national coordinator of ten's in a human rights defenders coalition thank you apart from arresting and intimidating individual journalists from country simply restrict the flow of information governments across africa are clamping down on the internet more and more mauritania so done ethiopia and go bomb or shut down web traffic that's yet only this january zimbabwe wanted a total internet shut down when violent protests over a dramatic fuel price increase resulted in a deadly crackdown on the global digital rights act face proof now 21 reports shutdowns across africa in 28 teams seem a good idea. net activists say some governments use the simplest of scams to keep citizens off line by fixing the price. of the. generation that made the stands to lose out if they if if if fantasy of. the

cost of internet rises i think a bubble had entered into the way mobile network operators and government have colluded to raise the price of data in the past when people have come out and cried because in the times before that government sometimes out prices across the internet so that people came to go online and con protest and country use social media concrete hashtags to who to call out the government and what it's doing sometimes across the internet we think dems were used by the government to send its citizens. ugandans off period about a foreign firms proposal to the government to build an energy dam near the famous murchison falls on africa's longest river the nile the matches of waterfalls the state to be the biggest attraction off uganda's largest and most visited national

park also named after the scenic forced environmental activists and tall operates his have vowed not to allow the energy developers to touch the fragile ecosystem. vain critical roar of much use unfolds on the river nile. surrounded by a rich biodiversity vulnerable species like the reassure b.-o. can be supported here while the iconic falls in uganda's largest national park is a must see for tourists it has no attracted unusual attention. energy developers want to construct a hate to electricity down here but many ugandans are against the idea. putting it down of power or force it's going to affect the forces itself and tourism is going to read just a passenger loves nature just imagining that in that order this force is not going

to be there just as a big thing doesn't it doesn't all go well but also i think we should know that new tech and survive without us we cannot survive without it. conservationists warn that the much is some falls national park is already under pressure from oil and gas exploration activities and from porch and building a dam wolf either through it in a fragile ecosystem. it does what about survey to see 76 different number species 450 different species the 2nd biggest in this in this country but if you put them with together or that you're making this or that beauty or that they busted i think the becomes one of the most beautiful interesting national parks in the world but that they have us to is a complemented by the force itself we have those sponsibility to protect the sort of source and i think of where the poet 100 to form

a government that's you can't destroy everything you can stick with the thing because overall over another development the government has now called for calm as it examines the proposal by bernanke energy is south african based farm now allegedly the feedback from the public has being negative and really fame please didn't think that we were i mean this is all about you permission that we are making available for the boy era to 18 making a decision in addition to that technicality at this point for the irish. in 2007 to a party has failed to stop the construction of a hydropower a semi quite towards a rusting area and the secret culture site on the sim river. the dam no generates more electricity to run factories. but what used to be an important tourism draw is normal now they were generally for those have been submerged.
