Lituanent General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of Uganda’s president, and commander of UPDF land forces hailed President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as a 'great man'.

 

He also added that Uganda will continue to cooperate with Egypt in order to ensure stability in the Nile Basin.

 

"It was an honor to meet my boss 10 years ago. General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Today he is the President of Egypt! He is a great man. Uganda shall continue working with Egypt to ensure stability in the Nile Basin," he tweeted.

 

"My late grandfather Mzee Amos used to tell us that the first Banyankore came from Egypt. When I was there for a course (for 6 months) I never had a problem with any Egyptian. If anybody thinks of fighting Egypt, he should know he will be fighting Uganda as well," he added.
