General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, has reactivated his X account just days after announcing his departure from the platform.
Kainerugaba announced his return on X on Thursday evening with a simple message, “I’m back!”

This abrupt return come barely a week after Kainerugaba announced his exit from X on Friday, January 10th, citing a desire to focus on his military duties as head of the Ugandan People’s Defence Forces.
His previous departure followed a series of controversial posts that had garnered significant attention.
In his initial farewell message on January 10th, Kainerugaba described his time on X as a “great whirlwind and rousing journey.” He also assured his over one million followers that they would “re-converge” with him “at an appropriate time in the future.”
Kainerugaba’s brief absence and subsequent return, coupled with his controversial pronouncements, continue to generate discussion and debate in Uganda.
The order regarding opposition groups wearing military-style attire has raised concerns about freedom of expression and potential for abuse by security forces.
