Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba is not yet done with his verbal threats against the US and has now threatened that Africa is going to start sanctioning US officials. It should be recalled that Muhoozi a few days ago took to his X page to threaten the US Ambassador to Uganda, William Popp.
Muhoozi demanded an apology from the Ambassador to President Museveni for being disrespectful. He even gave him an ultimatum of which failure would result in him being kicked out of the country.
This ultimatum expired without the Ambassador saying anything. Muhoozi then retracted all his posts about this matter by deleting them.
The US Embassy also said that it had not gotten any request from the Ugandan government for an apology.
The issue arose a few days after the US had placed embargoes on 4 high-ranking Ugandan Police Officers. These were just joining a long list of other public officials that the US has previously sanctioned.
According to the First Son, the US should stop this, or else Africa will retaliate. He pointed out that the Joe Biden-led nation has been involved in the murder of high-ranking government officials in Africa such as DRC’s Patrice Lumumba.
However, not even a flinch of a punishment was made towards the US. Muhoozi says the US has continued to act with impunity towards Africa. This should therefore stop immediately for peace to prevail.
“Africa has never sanctioned the US officials who were involved in the cold-blooded brutal assassinations of our leaders like Patrice Lumumba. If they continue sanctioning Africans, we will sanction them too.”
Gen Muhoozi also said that he is not anti-white as his critics were pointing out. He just hates injustices committed against Africans.

![[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.
