After five days of internet blackout, Ugandans are back online as Bobi Wine remains under house arrest

Uganda's internet shutdown has been described as a "textbook case of pre-meditated, pre-election internet blackout," as connectivity was restored after incumbent President Yoweri Museveni was declared winner for a record sixth term.

Internet connectivity was restored after five days of blackout and rose to 90% on Monday but extensive social media and messaging restrictions remained, internet monitor Netblocks told CNN. "This was a textbook case," said Alp Toker, founder of the London-based agency. "The networks still running were generally infrastructure-related or state-run," he added.
