Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has deactivated his X account following a series of online threats directed at Vice President Jessica Alupo. The move adds to a growing record of provocative digital pronouncements made by the son of President Yoweri Museveni.
The deactivation of the handle comes in the wake of recent statements that raised concerns regarding the safety and political stability surrounding the Vice President. General Kainerugaba, who serves as a prominent military figure in the country, has previously been noted for his erratic behavior on social media platforms.
As the son of President Museveni, General Kainerugaba holds a significant position within Uganda’s defense structure. His online activities have frequently drawn attention, often characterized by sharp rhetoric and direct challenges to political figures.
The incident highlights the increasing influence of social media in Ugandan political discourse, where high-ranking officials’ digital footprints can have immediate and tangible political consequences.
