These troops are led by Col Mamady Doumbouya. They ousted 83-year-old Guinean President Alpha Condé, last week. The coup in Guinea is the forth in just a a period of one year.
However, according to Gen. Muhoozi, this would be nothing to the UPDF if the president let’s them take care of it. He said this on twitter on Tuesday.
“If our Commander in-Chief gave us instructions, it wouldn’t take UPDF a day to discipline mutinous troops like the ones in Guinea-Conakry,” Lt Gen Muhoozi said.
Knowing MK, this statement isn’t made lightly. https://t.co/9y6lhDxLM1

This comes just a week after Museveni called this coups low value in an interview with France 24.
“That’s unfortunate and it is a step backwards. Those military coups are of low value, we had them in the 1960s, and they were part of Africa’s problems. I condemn the coup, I don’t accept the idea of coups, they are not a solution.”
However, for some Ugandans who reacted to Muhoozi’s post, Uganda has enough problems which UPDF could as well handle.
“Let’s deal with Karamoja and ADF first. We have enough problems. The commander in chief in most recent interview with a French TV said he doesn’t believe in fighting other pipoz wars hence in support of America’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. We r in Somalia for peace,” a one Nsereko wrote.

![[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.
