President Museveni has dropped Gen Aronda Nyakairima, the Chief of Defence Forces, and Lt Gen Ivan Koreta, his deputy — the only remaining members of the core group that took part in the guerrilla war that brought him to power in 1986, who still held top positions in the army.
They were replaced with Lt Gen Edward Katumba Wamala, formerly Commander of Land Forces, who was promoted to General, and Charles Angina, formerly Chief of Staff of Land Forces, who was promoted from Major General to Lieutenant General.
