Gen Muhoozi Under Fire as he Gets Proved Wrong By South Sudan, Dismissing His Claims of Deployment

Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has been left red-faced after South Sudan dismissed his claims that Uganda deployed troops to Juba.

The statement from South Sudan contradicts Gen Muhoozi’s earlier assertion that the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) were sent to support regional security and stabilize a "dangerous situation."

South Sudan’s officials stated they had neither requested nor acknowledged any such deployment, sparking outrage and confusion.

This contradiction has intensified an already heated debate in Uganda, with Parliament criticizing the move as illegal and uncoordinated.

MPs argue that any foreign deployment must be approved by Parliament a step they claim was ignored.

Defence Minister Jacob Oboth Oboth, who earlier denied knowledge of the deployment, now faces increased pressure to clarify the government's position.

The split within Uganda’s leadership is widening, with Gen Muhoozi’s credibility taking a hit.

Critics question whether the military acted independently or misrepresented the situation to justify its presence in South Sudan.

As the controversy deepens, Ugandans are left wondering who’s telling the truth and whether this debacle signals a deeper power struggle within the country’s defense leadership.
