Kampala Riots, an update

11 Sep

A lot of you are arriving here from Google searches and tweets concerning the Uganda Riots. Here are a few updates:

Twitter:

Right now, where I stay, Kasubi/Munaku is quiet after a morning of Mambas (armoured vehicles), Military Police clashing with rioters and bullets being fired.

I’ve been updating my twitter account since yesterday. I put up and archive on my previous post, but you can visit the full feed on my Twitter account (@solomonking). I’m updating as fast as I can get the news, but things have quieted down here. Follow me on @solomonking on twitter for updates.

Also, follow @UgInsomniac, @dailymonitor, @UgandaTalks, @mugumya, @UgandaTalks, @appfrica for details.

Use the #Kampala and #Uganda. hashtags on twitter to get updates

Blogging, Youtube, etc:

Many Ugandan bloggers have shared their personal experiences and perspectives. See what they’re saying on Node Six BlogSpirit.

The Independent give a brief insight into the origins of the riots and NTV Kenya has Youtube footage of some scenes from the riots.

Update: The Independent website is down. Server overload most likely.

That’s it.

Will update later.
