BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Government-centered framing: Ugandan coverage prioritizes the state's official response at the expense of direct testimony from affected communities

Preference for bilateral diplomacy: emphasis on engagement with Pretoria rather than examination of root causes of xenophobic violence

Limited coverage of ongoing violence: details of attacks on Ugandans remain underdeveloped, with priority given to evacuation logistics
