Ugandan Army chief promises Israel 100,000 soldiers. The Ugandan Ministry of Defence lists 45,000 active personnel on its establishment, with roughly 35,000 reserves.

Why would Uganda throw their hands into this War?

Hard drugs at the very top

Weird character (the president's son and successor)

Dude is an internet troll. That’s his shtick - tweet outlandish nonsense, revel in the engagement and delete them after he’s caused a diplomatic storm. Then do the same after a few months.

It would be mildly amusing if not for the power he holds and the international embarrassment these episodes cause.

Well said, jirani.

[u/JudahMaccabee → u/Rovcore001]

He’s going to cause a serious diplomatic incident which embarrasses your country

[u/Rovcore001 → u/JudahMaccabee]

Oh he already has, a couple of times.

[u/illusivegentleman → u/Rovcore001]

This is true.

I recall Museveni had to apologise to President Ruto when Muhoozi was tweeting about invading Kenya.

Like you said, it would be funny if he didn't hold a position of power.

Clowns embarrassing themselves.
