Apologize or leave Uganda, Gen Muhoozi tells US ambassador in escalating row

Uganda’s first son and miliary chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has told America’s ambassador William Popp to apologize to veteran President Museveni or depart the East African nation, escalating diplomatic tensions between the countries.

In an earlier post on X, Gen Muhoozi cited “disrespecting our beloved and celebrated president and undermining the constitution of Uganda” as reason behind the move.

“If this current US ambassador does not apologize to mzee (Museveni) personally by Monday morning (9:00am) for his undiplomatic behavior in our country, we will demand he leaves Uganda,” he said on Friday.

In a barrage of posts, the first son appeared to suggest that the US has recently been aiming against Museveni's 38-year ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) government, which shot to power in 1986.

“We have no problem with the USA. As I have said many times, it is a country we love and admire. But lately we have a lot of evidence that they have been working against the NRM government,” Gen Muhoozi explained.
