Jim Spire Ssentongo Media Council Uganda The recent intimidation campaign against SPIRE hasn’t caused him to hold back on his criticism of corruption and coverups! The letter to which he refers is a joke, fully deserving of his jibes. We trust that SPIRE can respond with an even funnier cartoon!

Ugandan cartoonist Spire reports that a series of intimidatory tactics, with even worse implications (he fears for his safety) is being waged by those in power who’ve found themselves on the receiving end of his inking pen. Africartoons is keeping watch over the situation.

Please keep shining a light on SPIRE’s situation by posting and reposting his messages. The more the authorities know that they’re being watched, the less they can do to those who hold them to account.

As is most often the case, authorities’ attempts to silence cartoonists results in more attention being paid to the very cartoons in which they find offense! Share, like and comment on this #Spire cartoon to help make the point. #StreisandEffect

Spire reports that the Ugandan government is planning to silence an exhibition of cartoons that are critical of their corrupt practices…
