General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) of the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) and Chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), has ordered a massive protest at the Turkish Embassy in Kampala, escalating diplomatic friction between Uganda and Turkey. In a series of posts on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Kainerugaba — the son of long-serving Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni — announced that he has completely severed ties with Turkish interests in the country, demanding that Turkish nationals vacate Uganda immediately.
