For about four months, Ugandans had been minding their business, away from social media posts of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces.

During that time, people tried to pour in the streets to mimic Kenya’s Gen Z and to demand better governance as well as end to corruption. They were crushed immediately by brutal police.
