On Monday, October 3, Uganda President Yoweri Museveni's son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, then Lieutenant-General and Commander of the Land Forces, kicked off a massive diplomatic storm. In a tweet storm, he seemingly half-joked, "It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi."
He escorted the tweet with musings about where he would live after seizing the Kenyan capital. Then he weighed into the recent Kenyan election, suggesting that former president Uhuru Kenyatta, whom he regularly refers to as "my big brother, should have stood for a third term. Uhuru would have handily won, he said.
