Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba Attends EAC Military Chiefs’ Meeting in Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya – The Chief of Defense Forces of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has arrived in Nairobi to participate in a high-level meeting of East African Community (EAC) military chiefs. The meeting aims to address the escalating crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where ongoing conflict threatens regional stability.

Gen. Kainerugaba is accompanied by Major General James Birungi, Chief of Defense Intelligence and Security, along with other senior UPDF officials. Defense chiefs from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, the DRC, South Sudan, and Somalia are attending the discussions, focusing on strategies to restore peace and security in the region.

Speaking at the meeting, Gen. Kainerugaba emphasized the importance of regional cooperation in tackling security threats.

“Our collective focus on the security challenges in the Democratic Republic of the Congo exemplifies the cooperative spirit that binds the East African Community,” he stated.

The gathering follows directives from the Joint EAC-SADC Heads of State Summit held on February 8, 2025, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. During the summit, regional leaders tasked military chiefs with providing technical guidance on resolving the DRC crisis, particularly in areas where the M23 rebel group has seized key cities, including Goma and Bukavu.

Eastern DRC has long been a hotspot for conflict, with multiple armed groups—most notably the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF)—contributing to the instability. The ADF, a terrorist organization with Ugandan origins, has remained a persistent threat despite joint military operations by the UPDF and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC). UPDF sources report that ADF capabilities have been significantly degraded, with only scattered remnants operating deep in the Congolese forests.

In a related development, the UPDF recently marked a strategic milestone by advancing into Bunia, the capital of Ituri Province, in coordination with FARDC forces. The move has been welcomed by local residents who have endured years of violence and lawlessness.

The Nairobi meeting is expected to play a crucial role in shaping a unified regional approach to dismantling rebel groups, restoring stability, and paving the way for lasting peace in the DRC.

General Muhoozi’s Principle of Strategic Confusion

General Muhoozi’s Principle of Strategic Confusion By :JP king maker: The crown media East Africa In the ever-evolving landscape of Ugandan politics and military influence, one name continues to spark debate and intrigue: General Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Known for his controversial tweets and unconventional public statements, General Muhoozi has become a polarizing figure. To some, his actions seem impulsive and erratic, while to others, they represent a calculated strategy—what we might call the "principle of strategic confusion." The Art of Underestimation Military theorists, such as Sun Tzu in The Art of War, emphasize the power of deception. By appearing disorganized, reckless, or weak, a leader can lure adversaries into complacency, giving themselves a strategic edge. General Muhoozi’s public persona—especially on social media—seems to echo this ancient wisdom. His tweets often appear casual, controversial, or outright provocative, leaving critics questioning his intention...
