The military court in Kampala on Tuesday returned a guilty verdict against a number of soldiers and civilian aides of the now dissident former Coordinator of Intelligence Agencies, Gen. David Sejusa.

The convictions are bound to raise concerns over the fate of the men that are alleged to have been working with Gen. Sejusa (formerly known as David Tinyefuza), who until his recent fall out was seen as one of the most senior and close allies in President Yoweri Museveni’s regime.
