KAMPALA. Uganda’s Controversial Chief of defence forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has issued a chilling warning to all UP uniform wearers saying all will be killed.

”From now on, if we find ANYONE wearing a NUP uniform, we will kill them! No questions!” Muhoozi posted on his X handle on Saturday night.

The threat, has escalated uneasiness among the opposition with already dozens of NUP supporters abducted and their whereabouts unknown.

Uganda’s political climate is volatile where opposition groups face intensifying repression.

The National Unity Platform (NUP), led by pop star-turned-politician Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, has grown rapidly since 2020, capitalizing on youth discontent over unemployment and Museveni’s 39 year rule, now increasingly becoming tyrant.

NUP’s signature red berets and red-striped attire have become symbols of resistance, prompting the government without any law citation to criminalize the attire citing “illegitimate paramilitarism.”

Despite arrests and crackdowns, NUP supporters continued donning the garb, framing it as peaceful dissent. Hundreds of NUP supporters have been jailed, most without trial for years.

Muhoozi’s Saturday declaration reflects the government’s hardening stance on NUP.

UK based NUP supporter Richard Kizza suggest the military, long accused of partisan loyalty to Museveni’s regime, aims to quash NUP’s visibility ahead of 2026 elections.

On Friday, Security forces have previously raided NUP offices, detained activists, and allegedly tortured. Two NUP offices were Friday raided and their files taken by security agents who claimed they acted on intelligence NUP were training militants.

Human Rights Watch has variously condemned the raids on NUP as a “green light for extrajudicial killings,” while NUP has accused Muhoozi of “state terrorism.”

Muhoozi’s rhetoric, however, resonates with hardliners framing NUP as destabilizing. Pro-government media activists link the party to “foreign-backed chaos,” though evidence remains scant. Meanwhile, NUP denies violence, asserting their struggle is constitutional.

International observers warn Uganda risks spiraling deeper into autocracy.

The U.S. and EU have sanctioned officials for rights abuses, but Museveni’s alliance with regional powers buffers external pressure.

For ordinary Ugandans, Muhoozi’s words signal darker days.

“Wearing red could be a death sentence now.” Mr Kizza said.

In a long post on his X account Burora accused Uganda’s leaders of violating the law using their positions leaving the population at risk of abuse yet as leaders they are charged with the responsibility to service peace and security, ensure development and preserve democracy and human rights. 

“They (leaders) cannot be tried, they can steal, grab land and they are protected, enact, use the law to their advantage, they can violate all laws and all it requires is, I’m so and so.

Burora Uganda’s current situation is despicable and chaotic because the leaders are only finding solutions to their problems leaving others to suffer.

He warned that the status quo will eventually overruns everyone including the privileged who ought at the time of need to find solutions for all, but chose to find for themselves. 

He wondered why government bigwigs are now under special protection in the security and judicial systems yet the rest of the population is unprotected.

“Instead of finding our own comfort, Let’s wake up to the challenge of fixing what is suspected to be for us yet threatens everyone. What the leaders are trying to do of finding solace for themselves is a temporary fix, it will really break to the extent that all we can do is to regret,” Burora wrote. 

Burora also described the act of surrounding leader’s homes with razor and high security wall guarded by CCTV cameras, mean looking soldiers- a detachment from the public by leaders.

He said leaders are setting bad example are a eroding public morals when for example they break traffic rules in the face of school children and the general public who can no longer reach out to them because of staying in different worlds.

“Do we even have the moral authority to call citizen non patriotic and that we are now drawing budgets to teach mindset change? We need to lock ourselves somewhere and pump sense in ourselves. We are a disgrace,” Burora wrote.
