Erratic Museveni son deactivates X handle after threats against Uganda VP

Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has suspended his X account after receiving numerous threats against Vice President Jessica Alupo, adding to a pattern of controversial online statements by President Yoweri Museveni’s son. Muhoozi accused Alupo of supporting the "treachery" of Peter Elwelu, who was recently arrested on allegations of destabilizing the country.

He threatened to dismiss Alupo from government and suggested that Uganda would run on military principles if he were Vice President. Muhoozi's actions echo his previous confrontations with political rivals and signal his growing influence in Uganda's presidential succession debate.
