if fantasy of and the cost of internet rises i think it had entered into the way more about network operator than government have colluded to raise the price of data in the past when people have come out and cried because the times before that government sometimes out prices across the internet so that people can't go online and contradict and continues social media can create hashtags to who to call out the government and what it's doing sometimes across the internet and we think times 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 murchison waterfalls the said to be the biggest attraction off you can just largest and most visited national park also named off to the scenic forced environmental activists and tall
