The Commander of the Ugandan People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), Muhoozi Kainerugaba on Sunday renewed his threat to invade Sudan’s capital Khartoum, just hours after Sudan acknowledged an official apology from Uganda.
Sudan had demanded an official apology from the govt of Uganda for what it referred to as “irresponsible and reckless” comments published by Gen Muhoozi on X platform, in which he threatened to seize Khartoum as soon as U.S president elect, Donald Trump resumes office.
Sudan’s foreign ministry highlighted the gravity of his remarks, noting that they marked a “complete departure from the rules of conduct expected of those holding high official and military positions.
The Sudanese government called for urgent intervention from African and global organizations, highlighting the need to maintain peace, sovereignty and mutual respect among nations.
Although the tweet was later deleted, Uganda said Muhoozi’s remarks “do not represent the official position of the Ugandan government, “ which communicates through diplomatic channels.
The Ugandan Foreign Affairs Ministry in a statement sent to the Sudanese embassy in Kampala, reiterated the Ugandan government’s commitment to peaceful relations with neighboring Sudan.
Muhoozi has now demanded an official apology from Sudan following a statement by it’s foreign Affairs Ministry accusing him of making inflammatory comments on X.
”If this letter is true and not a hoax, I want an official letter of apology to me, the UPDF, and the Republic of Uganda for this!! If they don’t…..”Muhoozi twitted before the post was deleted
It further read, “if my father, ordered us to take control of Khartoum, we would do it tomorrow.
However, the Sudanese government has not yet reacted to Muhoozi’s latest post on the X platform.
The General, a son to President Yoweri Museveni is well known for controversial posts on x.
