On Firstpost Africa Tonight: Why Uganda and Türkiye Don’t Get Along?
Uganda has suspended defence and military cooperation with Türkiye, amid tensions over Fred Lumbuye, a Uganda-based critic of President Yoweri Museveni facing 15 criminal charges.
Uganda has sought his extradition, while army chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has repeatedly pressed Türkiye over the case. The move followed protests outside the Turkish Embassy in Kampala, though Uganda has not officially linked the suspension to Lumbuye.
Why did Uganda suspend military ties with Türkiye, and what does it mean for relations between the two countries?
