Uganda's president appoints his son to head the army. Yoweri Museveni has been the sole ruler of Uganda for more than 30 years.
Now his son Muhoozi Kainerugaba is gradually taking over as successor. The 49-year-old general has denied in the past that he wants to be his father's successor.. Every election since 1996 has been accompanied by allegations of fraud. In 2022, the well-known Ugandan writer Kakwenza Rukirabashaija fled into exile in Germany.
