WASHINGTON, United States
The United States has rejected a public apology offered by Uganda's Chief of Defense Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, following his controversial remarks against the US embassy.
The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Jim Risch, said the apology was meaningless and inadequate, insisting that General Muhoozi had crossed a red line despite deleting his social media posts.
In a statement on January 30, Risch warned that the US would reassess its security cooperation with Uganda, a move that could include sanctions and reduced military cooperation.
“The president's son, and likely successor, cannot just delete tweets and issue hollow apologies. The U.S. will not tolerate this level of instability and recklessness when American personnel, U.S. interests, and innocent lives in the region are at stake.”
General Muhoozi, who is the son of uganda President, Yoweri Museveni and the president's top adviser on special military operations, previously alleged that the US embassy was involved in helping opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi flee his home during a military operation on January 16, 2026.
Following the degree of accusations, Muhoozi apologized to the US, but his apology has been rejected by Washington officials.
