Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, has attracted international attention with a range of striking tweets in recent months – starting with a veiled threat to invade Kenya in October and most recently last week, when he offered to deploy Ugandan troops to defend Moscow from “imperialists”. But the running theme in his tweets is the suggestion that he will soon take over from his father.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba – known as "Muhoozi" – first attracted widespread international attention on Twitter last October when he spoke of the ease with which he could invade neighbouring Kenya: “It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi,” he posted.
