HE Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has announced that he will on Tuesday address the nation on matters concerning security, few days after the attempted murder of Pastor Aloysius Bugingo which left his best friend, Richard Muhumuza dead.
According to the Presidential Press Unit (PPU), the President will also address Ugandans on several other security-related issues in the country.
“The PPU wishes to inform the public that H.E the President of the Republic of Uganda/Commander-In-Chief of the UPDF, Gen (Rtd) Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, will brief the nation on the progress of operations against ADF terrorists and other security-related issues,” the PPU Monday statement read in part.
“The briefing is scheduled for Tuesday January 9, 2024, at 8:00 PM,” it added.
On top of Bugingo’s attempted murder by shooting, few days ago the country also was kicked into dark mode after ADF rebels killed over a dozen people in Kamwenge District in two separate attacks in December 2023.
During his recent comments on the ADF attacks, the President emphasized that the national forces together with the Congolese army through Operation Shujaa are determined to wipe out the rebel groups and their leaders who are still hiding in DR Congo.
During last year’s national address about terrorism and crime, President Museveni blamed ADF attacks on intelligence flaws, saying that the rebels had broken into very small groups that became more difficult to detect, calling for alertness and coordination between security agencies and members of the public.
