First Son Muhoozi Kainerugaba sends clear message to rebels, criminals planning to disturb Uganda’s peace

First son and Commander Land Forces (CLF) Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has warned all people planning to engage on criminal and rebel activities aimed at disturbing peace, making it clear they will be crushed.

Lt Gen Kainerugaba made it clear it would be dangerous for anyone to think they can disturb Ugandans’ peace and get away with it.

On July 08, the CLF announced a rebel leader who commanded the March 2020 raid on an army detach in Zombo had surrendered to the UPDF. (See: Rebel Commander who killed five Ugandan soldiers surrenders to UPDF).

He said the surrender of this ring leader and the arrest of suspects linked to the June 01 shooting that claimed the lives of works and transport minister Gen Edward Katumba Wamala’s daughter Brenda Nantongo and driver Haruna Kayondo meant Uganda was too dangerous for rebels and criminals.

“Four days ago the so called ‘Colonel Atochon’, Commander of the rebel group that attacked our troops in Zombo in March of last year surrendered to UPDF,” wrote Kainerugaba.

“A few days before that the ADF terrorist cell that attacked General Katumba was crushed by Uganda Police. Uganda ni hatari! [Uganda is dangerous for rebels and criminals].”
