This was in relation to the Commander of the Land Forces’ earlier tweet. Muhoozi in this tweet sided with the Tigrayan rebels who are fighting the Ethiopian government.
He added that he truly supported their cause and those who had wronged them deserve punishment.
This was not taken lightly by Byanyima who is a known global rights activist. The wife to former four-time presidential candidate Kiiza Besigye asked Muhoozi to delete that tweet.
She also added that Muhoozi was risking the lives of Ugandans in Ethiopia by indulging himself in the affairs of an independent country.
“Please delete this tweet. It is risking the lives of Ugandans working and living in Ethiopia,” Ms Byanyima tweeted.

However, Muhoozi did not take this counsel and instead resorted to a rather personal address. Muhoozi said that he had last seen Byanyima at State House decades ago and it was good to hear from her again.
He however reminded her that it’s the role of the Ethiopian government to protect the rights of the people it leads.
“Madame Winnie. Good to hear from you. It’s been a long time. I last saw you in SH in 1987. It is the responsibility of the Ethiopian gov’t to protect all citizens & visitors in Addis & the rest of the country. If the TDF is doing it in areas they control, why shouldn’t the gov’t?” Muhoozi replied to Winnie Byanyima.

Muhoozi has severally been engaging in the Ethiopian crisis through his Twitter page. He has also not shied away from expressing his support for the Tigrayans who are deemed as rebels.
For a man of his status, some people deem this as dangerous to engage openly in issues of a sovereign state but he clearly doesn’t care.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
