History
[edit | edit source]Founded in 1911 by the White Fathers Mission in Uganda, Munno was a Catholic Luganda newspaper that reported on politics, business and sports in Uganda.[1] It was published daily except on Sunday(s)[2]
In the 1950s, Munno was noted for its engagement in partisan politics and "its support for the Democratic Party (DP), a party established to offer a platform for politically-engaged Catholics".[3]
It was banned by President Idd Amin in 1976 and resumed publication in 1979.[4]
