The Secretary General of the Patriotic League of Uganda and MP for Kasambya Honorable David Kabanda dodges questions against his superior, the Ugandan Chief of Defense Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Keinarugaba, who is also the son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, on the X platform posts, in which he threatened to seize Khartoum as soon as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office..
Honarable Kabanda say he also needs to first ask his friend General Muhoozi about what he wrote and what he was intending.
“I don’t know what he wrote, but I’ll ask him what he meant before I comment on this” David Kabanda said.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sudan on Wednesday and seen by Mubende post, Sudan asked Uganda to issue an apology over Muhoozi’s twits and also called on the African Union and regional and international organizations to condemn these statements, and what they entail in terms of a clear threat to regional and international security and an insult to Africans.
According to the statement, the Sudanese foreign ministry considered the Ugandan army chief’s comments reckless, and irresponsible and said “They represent a complete departure from the rules of conduct of those occupying senior official and military positions, including prudence, discipline, and choice of words.”
“These comments embody an abnormal precedent and a regrettable level of disregard for international law, the norms of dealing between states, and the requirements of mutual respect between brotherly and friendly peoples,” the statement reads in part.
The Government of Sudan added: “The threat of war, the violation of the sovereignty of states, and the challenge to the Charter of the United Nations, the African Union, and the rules of international law are too dangerous to be a subject of trivialization, seeking the spotlight, and astonishment.”
Relatedly, On Wednesday, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) summoned Uganda’s Acting Chargé d’Affaires in Kinsasha, Matata Twaha Magara, seek clarification on recent remarks made by Gen. Kainerugaba concerning President Félix Tshisekedi and the alleged presence of foreign mercenaries in eastern DRC.
The meeting, initiated by Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, was prompted by a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) by General Kainerugaba. Among them was a controversial statement issued on 16 December 2024: “I’m going to give only ONE WARNING to ALL white mercenaries operating in eastern DRC. From 2nd January 2025, we will attack all mercenaries in our area of operations.”
He added: “In the name of Jesus Christ, the God of all Bachwezi, there shall not be left one white mercenary in DRC this time next year!”
Gen. Kainerugaba is renowned for his early controversial posts on X, some of which have led to diplomatic tensions in the region.
