Uganda’s Commander of Land Forces Lt-Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba was this week speaking a different language on the Ethiopian conflict, the result of a trip to Addis Ababa and an apparent lobbying by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government.
Lt-Gen Muhoozi had irked authorities in Addis Ababa when he tweeted support for the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), the rebels opposed to Mr Abiy, and sided with Egypt in a statement presumed to take sides on the controversial Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam (Gerd).
