Resolution
How this resolves. This question resolves YES if, by 31 December 2026, Uber issues a public statement (e.g., via its official newsroom or a press release) confirming the cessation of its ride-hailing or delivery operations in at least one African country. A temporary suspension or reduction of services does not count. Otherwise, NO.
Expected source: Uber's official newsroom (https://www.uber.com/newsroom/) or a credible news report citing an official Uber announcement.
