General Muhoozi Kienerugaba the self -proclaimed Tweeting General has revealed how he has given up on commenting about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine after the Russian invasion one week ago.
Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine in what Putin termed as de-militarizing and de-nazifying Ukraine under the leadership of former Comedian and Actor Volodymyr Zolenskyy, First son also commander land forces Muhoozi Keinerugaba has been on a tweeting spree in support of Russia which he says all the reasons to destroy Ukraine.
According to Muhoozi whose statements have since been disowned by the Ministry of Foreign affairs junior minister Okello Oryem says all Africans should support Russia in the military strikes it’s doing in Ukraine. Almost a million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries like Poland and Hungary.
Following Uganda’s abstinence from taking part in the crucial vote where majority of the countries at the UN General Assembly spoke in unison to condemn Russia’s cruelty in Ukraine, Muhoozi has through his twitter thanked all the other countries that didn’t take part in the voting but indirectly were in support of Russia just to avoid conflicting with the west.
Algeria,South Africa, Angola, Tanzania, Uganda, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique I thank these historical defenders of Africa and many others for rejecting the UN resolution against our partner the Russian Federation.

Uganda has played a neutral side in the Russia-Ukraine was and has neither openly supported Russia nor supported Ukraine but going the statements of president Museveni and his son Muhoozi Kienerugaba, they fully side with Russia in it’s invasion in Ukraine and his support for Russia has since been appreciated by the Russian Embassy in Uganda Vladlen Semivolos.
Thank you, General, for the expression of support. Russia has always been and will ever remain a true friend and a trustworthy partner to Uganda!

Now after realizing how his tweets were risking Uganda’s foreign policy and diplomatic ties, Muhoozi has revealed how he has given up on commenting on the Ukraine conflict after being requested by his friend Thomas Hasel and his wife but wasn’t scared of any one or anything.
Also, @Thomas_Hasel as you requested and especially as my beautiful wife requested I shall refrain from commenting on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Personally, I fear no one and nothing but for your sakes I relent.

There seem to be two Uganda governments: The official one, and the one led by the commander of the army's Land Forces.
The Twitter Uganda government often announces its own foreign policy, which is different from the foreign policy of the official one led by President Museveni.
