General Muhoozi Sends Mixed Signals After Kenya Responds to Museveni’s Ocean Access Remarks

 

Tensions between Kenya and Uganda briefly resurfaced this week after Uganda’s First Son and army commander, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, issued a series of conflicting messages online in reaction to Kenya’s diplomatic response to President Yoweri Museveni’s recent comments about access to the Indian Ocean.
