General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, posted claims on January 30 that the U.S. embassy helped opposition leader Bobi Wine fake his disappearance after Uganda's contested January 15 election. He threatened to cut military cooperation before quickly apologizing and deleting the posts, but Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch called it a 'red line,' demanding a review that could lead to sanctions. The backlash highlights strains in U.S.-Uganda security ties, vital for joint operations against al-Shabaab in Somalia, amid post-election tensions.
