On 28th June 2026, operations at Nation Media were disrupted following a security-led inquiry instituted by H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. @MODVA_UPDF@PoliceUg and other agencies are conducting it. Government will inform the public once the inquiry is complete.
The U.S. needs to review its security relationship with Uganda. Gen. @mkainerugaba's attacks on free speech, including shuttering major media houses this weekend, make him & the UPDF unfit partners. We should only work with those who advance regional security, not diminish it.
Abductions, fear, and turning the army into his personal political weapon have destroyed any little respect he had left. Ugandans don’t want more of this dynastic terror — we want leaders who serve the people, not kidnap them to feel powerful. Go back to your birthday parties and leave the country alone.
Serious US federal indictment from last year alleges Michael Katungi Mpeirwe (former UPDF officer and ex-PLU diaspora/external affairs official) conspired to traffic military-grade weapons — including machine guns, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft systems — to Mexico’s CJNG cartel (a US-designated foreign terrorist organization), plus related cocaine conspiracy charges.
He was already removed from PLU leadership by Gen. Muhoozi in 2025 after the indictment. Uganda is reportedly cooperating on the US extradition request.
Presumption of innocence until proven guilty in court. If the evidence holds, this is accountability for grave transnational crime — not partisan score-settling. ‘One by one will be taken’ turns a criminal case into politics.
@mirembe_sophie@mkainerugaba Meanwhile SHE not (HE) is also serious to torture the opposition members., I don’t mean now that one because you will bring me problems 😂☝️👋🇺🇬⛱️
