Andrew Mwenda's newspaper, the Independent, now online
You can now read journalist Andrew Mwenda's newspaper, The Independent, online. Based in Kampala, Uganda, the paper promises "uncensored news, views and analysis" -- a promise that has already led to government threats against the paper's printer. Mwenda spoke at TEDGlobal 2007 and was a panelist on the BBC debate hosted last week at TED in Monterey.
In today's Independent, a headline reads: "Andrew Mwenda summoned to CID" -- the Uganda police's Criminal Investigations Department. More on this story as it develops.
