Short of the apology by Monday 9 AM, Gen Muhoozi, who is also son to 80-year-old president, says, demands to force him (Ambassador Popp) out of the country will be entered.
In what appears to be an escalation of tensions between Uganda and the United States mission in Uganda, Kampala’s military chief, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has now given U.S. Ambassador to Uganda, William W. Popp, only until Monday to deliver an apology to President Yoweri Museveni for ‘disrespecting’ him.
Short of which, Gen Muhoozi, who is also son to 80-year-old president, says, demands to force him (Popp) out of the country will be entered.
“If this current U.S. Ambassador does not apologize to Mzee (President Museveni) personally by Monday morning (9.00am) for his undiplomatic behaviour in our country, we will demand he leaves Uganda,” writes Gen Kainerugaba on X (formerly Twitter).
“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,” he adds.
Using the same platform earlier today, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba accused Ambassador Popp of disrespecting President Museveni as well as undermining the constitution.
“Fellow Ugandans, it is my solemn duty to announce to you all that we as a nation are about to have a serious confrontation with the current US Ambassador to our country. For disrespecting our beloved and celebrated president and for undermining the constitution of Uganda,” Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday.
Ambassador Popp, who is a career member of the America’s Senior Foreign Service, a rank of Career Minister, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Ambassador to Uganda on July 27, 2023.
Apart from stating that Ambassador Popp disrespected Museveni, undermined constitution, and now undiplomatic behaviour, Gen Muhoozi has not provided any further details regarding his accusations. Neither has the mission responded to him.
Gen Muhoozi’s demands come amid speculations linking foreign actors to the recent demonstrations against ‘corruption’ at Parliament.
It is argued that Uganda’s bold stance on fighting homosexuality angered the west who are now employing various tactcs to pile pressure on the country and its leaders to rescind their decision.
“The campaign is not about Parliament. It’s about the agenda of Schemers in the West to disorganize our politics, pushing a selfish agenda. By passing the Anti-homosexuality law, Parliament frustrated today’s cultural war enveloped in the LGBTQI+ agenda. The Speaker has demonstrated conservativeness and a complete devotion to Uganda, thus becoming a target for LGBTQ campaigners, says Huud Hussein, a lawyer and President Museveni’s representative in Masaka City.
The intention is to weaken African societies and substitute authority of family, tribe and national interests with liberal vie of life.
Under the cover of protection of human rights and freedom, the West promotes artificially developed liberal values. Washington, London, and Brussels are obsessed with LGBTQ+ agenda, presenting promotion of sexual minority’s rights as a most vital issue of modern society.
As if the problems of famine, education, resources, and access to better health services of ordinary people were not so much important in comparison to LGBTQ community.
The reason is a strict plan of Western countries to impose alien liberal values on Africans and If they succeed, then Washington and their allies will get weakened, unhealthy, and dependent on the external humanitarian and financial aid society of African countries, which are easy to manipulate.
The next step will be the establishment of total control over all spheres of life and the exploitation of natural resources of the continent. In other words – a new era of neo-colonialism will come. This is the main goal of the West.
That is why Americans and Europeans so aggressively protect LGBTQ agenda, using mechanisms of international institutes (IMF and World Bank, for example) to push countries where people don’t want to follow Western liberal values.
It is for this reason that they are hiring mercenaries to castigate governments which have rejected to take their line with an aim of weakening them and bring in those they will control.
