Facebook Can Reopen in Uganda If It 'Stops Playing Games'
Most Ugandans using Facebook were greatly affected by the decision taken by the government to block the platform and they have since resorted to using virtual private network (VPN) applications to be able to access the platform, writes Muhamadi Matovu for Nile Post.
President Yoweri Museveni has said that Uganda will only allow Facebook to reopen if the platform stops "playing games."
