2,000 OPPOSITION SUPPORTERS ARRESTED, 30 KILLED, SAYS UGANDA’S MILITARY CHIEF MUHOOZI KAINERUGABA

KAMPALA: Uganda’s post-election tensions have intensified after the country’s military chief confirmed the detention of thousands of opposition supporters and the deaths of dozens following a disputed presidential vote. The January 15 election returned long-serving President Yoweri Museveni, 81, to power for a seventh term, extending his nearly four-decade rule.

In a series of social media posts, army commander Muhoozi Kainerugaba said authorities had arrested about 2,000 supporters of the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) and that 30 people had been killed. Kainerugaba, who is also Museveni’s son, labelled those targeted as “hooligans” and “terrorists,” but did not provide details on the circumstances surrounding the deaths. He added that security forces were still searching for more opposition figures.

Opposition leader Bobi Wine rejected the election outcome, alleging widespread irregularities including ballot stuffing and voter suppression during a four-day internet blackout imposed around voting day. Wine went into hiding after soldiers reportedly raided his home. While the government accuses opposition supporters of instigating violence, the NUP says its members were attacked by security forces, particularly during disrupted campaign rallies in the run-up to the vote.

Kainerugaba, is widely reported to have played a central role in the security crackdown and the shutdown of the internet. He has previously expressed ambitions to succeed his father, saying he was “tired of waiting,” and has since consolidated influence within the military by sidelining critics and strengthening loyalty among the forces.
