“I Have Made Many Ugandans Soldiers! They Are As Merciless As Me” Gen Muhoozi Hails Ruthless UPDF Troops in Bold Tweet

General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s Chief of Defense Forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni, has once again stirred public conversation with a striking and unapologetic statement on social media. Posting on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Gen. Muhoozi commended Ugandan soldiers for their strength and resilience.

“I have made many Ugandan soldiers! You’re as ruthless as me. Kare, let me give you some meat you can eat,” he wrote.

Blending English with a touch of local Ugandan flavor, the post appeared to celebrate the discipline and fearlessness of Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) troops. The line, “You’re as ruthless as me,” reflects his pride in their readiness to face challenges head-on—mirroring his own tough persona.

The timing of the message is notable, coming shortly after reports of intense clashes in Somalia between Ugandan forces and Al-Shabaab militants. Many social media users interpreted the post as a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of UPDF soldiers serving under the African Union peacekeeping mission.

The phrase, “let me give you some meat you can eat,” is widely seen as symbolic—possibly a metaphorical reward for their dedication. It underscores a deep sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between the General and his troops.

The tweet quickly drew widespread attention online. Supporters praised Gen. Muhoozi’s leadership and direct communication style, viewing it as evidence of a leader who both commands and genuinely connects with his soldiers.

Whether admired or critiqued, Gen. Muhoozi’s messaging continues to be bold, personal, and deeply rooted in his commitment to the Ugandan military. His latest post reinforces a familiar theme: strong language, strong loyalty, and unwavering support for the men and women in uniform.
