Uganda Shutdown Disrupts Business

S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Uganda’s election-period internet shutdown disrupted business nationwide by cutting access to mobile money, online banking, e-commerce, ride-hailing, and digital communications. Small traders, freelancers, and transport operators lost income as transactions stalled and platforms went offline. Logistics and cross-border trade slowed as firms could not share documents or track shipments. Companies reliant on cloud services and social media marketing halted operations, repeating losses seen during earlier election shutdowns.
