Ugandan officials have shut down the country's two leading media outlets on the orders of the military chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba. He is the son of President Yoweri Museveni and widely viewed as his likely successor, and said he ordered the closures because he does not "believe in a free press." Agather Atuhaire, a Ugandan journalist, lawyer and human rights activist discusses the implications with The World's Host Marco Werman.
