The Democratic Republic of Congo is mulling cutting diplomatic ties and ditching joint projects with Uganda over tweets by military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba disparaging the country and threatening to invade it.

The threat by Kinshasa, however, comes at a time when Gen Muhoozi has quit Twitter, now X, after rubbing the wrong way many people inside and outside Uganda with his posts on the platform.
