General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, has issued a strong statement emphasizing national pride amid rising tensions with Turkey. His remarks come as public demonstrations grow in the country.
Hundreds of Ugandans gathered outside the Turkish Embassy in Kampala on Friday, demanding the extradition of a dissident accused of spreading anti-government propaganda online. Local authorities have labeled the individual’s activities as a threat to national security.
The protests reflect deepening political friction between Uganda and Turkey, with the military leadership reinforcing a stance of sovereignty and resistance. The situation remains volatile, with no immediate resolution in sight.
The government has not yet confirmed details of the extradition request, but the demonstrations highlight growing public concern over perceived foreign interference.
