Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son Muhoozi Kainerugaba on Monday caused a storm after making a series of controversial tweets about Kenya.
In one of the posts, Kainerugaba, a high-ranking Ugandan Army commander, warned that his army would only need less than two weeks to capture Kenya’s capital Nairobi.
“It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi," read the tweet that attracted anger from Kenyans online.
The 48-year-old went on to provoke Kenyans on social media by asking where he should live when the Ugandan army captures Nairobi.
"I'm happy that members of our district in Kenya, have responded enthusiastically to my tweet. It's still 2 weeks to Nairobi! After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?" he posed.
Kainerugaba, who is the commander of the land forces of the Uganda People's Defense Force, further faulted former President Uhuru Kenyatta for not seeking a third term, saying he could have easily won the August 9th election.
"Just spoke to my big brother, Afande Uhuru. An incredible man! I love him for his courage, honesty and intelligence! He will visit Uganda soon," he tweeted, accompanied by two photos of Kenyatta.
“My only problem with my beloved big brother is that he didn't stand for a third term. We would have won easily!"
The general also mocked Kenyans' strict observance of the rule of law and fidelity to the Constitution.
"Haha! I love my Kenyan relatives. Constitution? Rule of law? You must be joking! For us, there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!" he tweeted.

I saw Kenyans celebrating and praising museven at kasarani. This is a man who deserves no respect under any circumstances. I equate him with his son. Kenyans foreign affairs ministry should send a strong protest to Ruto friend M7.
Only men with little brain,and insecurity go out trying to prove to the world that their cojones are bigger. I wonder what prompted this ingrate neighbor to spew such confrontational verbiage.
So if you can beat your brother,or father,without provocation,that is a show of strength? Why did you pick on Kenya,a peaceful country full of Ugandans who ran from poverty and a daily diet of matoke.
This an affront to the Kenya army that is ranked,or considered more powerful than the Ugandan army,despite their headcount.
As always talk is cheap. If you really have big cojones just try.
I will treat this as ajoke.No sane military leader with an inferior rag-tag army would dare flex his muscle on more powerful army with more fire power.This would be suicide. And ofcourse he is safe in the knowledge that he will only attack Kenya in his dreams.Like he dreams of living in beautiful Westlands.Keep dreaming.You are safe that way.
Just renounce your Uganda citizenship and move to Kenya. We will give you a place to live.
He probably could takeover.
William Ruto has filled the Kenya government with loud unrepentant idiots who are also rapists, landgrabbers, murderers and wash wash criminals.
Too many jingaz in the Kenya government.
This village idiot must be smoking some serious nonsense. This fool with dictator daddy money and a big mouth must be up to ne good tricks🤷♂️
Hawa ndio watu Kenya inashikana nao kuunda a one big country called 'Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki'!! The makers of that stuff should go back to drawing board.
This man is threatened by Kenya's elections and the peaceful transfer of power.
He is really talking to our brothers and sisters in Uganda warning them about thinking of becoming Kenya because by doing so, there will be no dynasty in Uganda and consequently he does not become anything in Uganda.
His position of being the next President of Uganda is on shaky ground.
As Muhoozi thinks of violence, in Kenya peace is at our door step.
May all his evil thoughts and Kenya's enemies both within and without be scattered seven ways by our creator!!
Who said that Muhoozi is a General, and he has forgotten a cardinal rule when starting a war: "always assume your opponent is equally capable, or better".
Would it be prudent to start awar with someone you assume or know is better? Too risky agamble here.Remember we are talking about life that when gone,cannot be replaced.
It's clear that this ignoramus overgrown boy with ignominious mouth,is envious of our democracy.Kenyans know what is good for Kenya,and we abhor dictatorship and autocracy. The fool is mocking democracy,and the constitution of Kenya.Please take him back to school.But first let him lay off whatever Ganja Wajackoyah supplied him.
Deflection!
Them dictators should go Gaddafi way, hunted down into the drainage pipes!
My friend learn from history. Who in their right sense would have even imagined that African strongmen like Mobutu, Amin, Said Barre, Mubarak, Gadaffi, Moi, and others couldn't be food for worms. Enjoy while the going is good, but one, just one, nobody would be talking about you and your father.
Or to partially quote John Maynard Keynes "In the long run, we're all dead".
In 1979 Uganda Exiles Led by General Tito Okello and General Bazillio Okello supported by President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania and Oginga Odinga of Kenya moved from Mwanza through Lake Victoria and Launched a rebellion that Toppled Idi Amin.Museveni was then in his late 20s and fought alongside Tito Okello and Bazillio Okello.2 years later in 1981 VP Oginga supported a coup against MOI of Kenya by Airforce Soldiers led by Hezekiah Ochuka,Pancreas Oteyo,Fenwicks Chesoli,Ogidi Obwon,Walter Odira Ojode and others(https://khusoko.com/2017/08/11/corporal-fenwicks-chesoli-hanged-in-1986…)
Milton Obote was restored President.Museveni had been Defence Minister under Amin but they disagreed.
After 1981 Elections in Uganda Obote was back to power.Museveni disagreed and went to the Bush and started Luweero War.General Oyite Ojok one of the best trained Army Generals in Uganda History lost his life in a plane Crash on his way to Luweero.
In 1985 a regional/neponistic disagreement between Obote(a Luo-Langi) and the Okello(a Luo-Acholi) over the promotion of Smith Acak Opon(a Luo-Langi) to Army Commander instead of Bazillio Okello to replace Oyite-Ojok a Luo-Langi resulted in a Coup.Obote was pushed out and fled to Kenya then Tanzania.
General Tito Okello became president and Bazillio Okello became Army Commander.The Army was dominated by Northern Uganda mostly Okello/Obote Luo and Amin Lugbara.
Museveni was not happy and launched a war against Tito Okello.Paul Kagame was his Intelligence Officer and fought in the Uganda Liberation war from 1980-1986(https://medium.com/@david.himbara_27884/kagame-these-days-prefers-milit…)
Paul Kagame had been a refugee in Uganda since age 4 crossing into Rwanda and back severally as he prepared the RPF Liberation movement.
PRESIDENT DANIEL MOI OF KENYA CALLED FOR PEACE TALKS IN NAIROBI IN 1986 BETWEEN PRESIDENT TITO OKELLO(GEN) AND YOWERI MUSEVENI.TITO OKELLO WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY PRESIDENT AND YOWERI VICE FOR THE PEACE PROCESS TO PREVAIL.THE TALKS COLLAPSED(https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/special-reports/uganda-50/nairobi-peac…)
MUSEVENI CAPTURED POWER IN 1986.TITO OKELLO MOVED TO EXILE IN TANZANIA THEN KENYA.BAZILLIO OKELLO MOVED TO SUDAN.
JOSEPH KONY,DOMINIC ONGWEN,DAVID OTTI,OKOT ODHIAMBO AND OTHER LUO-ACHOLI AND LUO-LANGI WERE INSPIRED BY ALICE AUMA LAKWENA IN NORTHERN UGANDA AND LAUCHED THE LRA REBEL MOVEMENT IN NORTHERN UGANDA AGAINST MUSEVENI SINCE 1986 TO DATE.
Museveni Became president in 1986.Paul Kagame became his defence minister in Uganda and moved to the US FOR MILITARY TRAINING.In 1990 Fred Rwigema a tutsi like Kagame was head of RPF and had helped Museveni in the Bush.Rwigema was Killed in Battle against soldiers allied to Rwandan president at the time Juvenal Habyarimana.Paul Kagame came back and launched the Rwanda liberation was in 1994 with the help of Museveni after the killing of Habyarimana.Rwanda was at War.In 2000 he became President.
After Paul Kagame took over he together with Museveni Joined forces with Kabila together with Congolese Tutsi(Banyamulenge) and Laurent Kabila took power from Mobutu.
YOWERI MUSEVENI UNDERSTANDS THE GEO-ENVIRONMENT OF THE REGION AND MOI NEVER TRUSTED HIM AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE PEACE TALKS BECAUSE OF ALWAYS VIEWING THINGS FROM A MILITARY ANGLE.Moi managed to contain Museveni hence no Migingo during Moi Time.Only Joseph Kony understands Museveni Language.The bush.
Please General Kainerugaba come out more clearly "For us, there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!" Does that means something is brewing on like a coup or gorilla war tactics ?
Assumptions are dangerous things. If memory serves, Russia was going to overwhelm Ukraine in a few days back in February. It hasn't turned out as projected seven months later.
He has been getting free passes to State house Nairobi 🥂🍺waki wa uhunye...now all priviledges gone, He throwing tantrums 😩😭😭
