Uganda’s President Museveni restates strong ties with US, retracts son’s threat
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has retracted an anti-US statement made by his son, General Muhoozi Kainerungaba, who also happens to be commander in chief of the Uganda Armed Forces. General Muhoozi told US Ambassador William Popp to apologize to President Museveni or leave Uganda for what Muhoozi called undiplomatic behavior. In a statement issued Monday, President Museveni said Uganda and the United States have had fruitful bilateral relations for over 60 years and that Uganda considers the US a key development partner. Nkunyingi Muwada, shadow minister for foreign affairs in the Ugandan parliament, tells VOA’s James Butty, while there is remorsefulness in diplomacy, he hopes President Museveni will act against his son.
