Red Pepper (newspaper)
''Red Pepper'' is a daily tabloid newspaper in Uganda that began publication on 19 June 2001. Mirroring tabloid styles in other countries, the paper is known for its mix of sensationalism, scandal, and frequent nudity. The paper has received the ire of the Ugandan government for publishing conspiracy theories relating to the death of Sudan's Vice President John Garang in a helicopter crash and revealing that former foreign minister James Wapakhabulo died of AIDS. In August 2006, ''Red Pepper'' published the first names and occupations of prominent Ugandan men whom it asserted were gay.
