Coup could be crushed in a day – Museveni’s son

The son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni says it would take the country’s army less than a day to put down any attempt by mutinous soldiers to stage a coup, similar to the one that ousted Guinea’s President Alpha Condé.

Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is the army’s commander of land forces, tweeted that “If our Commander in Chief gave us instructions it wouldn’t take UPDF a day to discipline mutinous troops like the ones in Guinea-Conakry”.

He included a picture of Col Mamady Doumbouya, the officer who led the coup in Guinea-Conakry.
