## Resource

Uganda’s military chief, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has shut down the Daily Monitor newspaper, declaring all media must follow his directives — a bold move signaling his growing power just as his father, President Museveni, begins another term. Claiming authority since 2017, Kainerugaba has increasingly acted like a head of state, even retaliating against legal figures linked to opposition leader Kizza Besigye, jailed on disputed treason charges. Though portrayed as a disciplined anti-corruption warrior with elite military training and political ambitions, his actions have raised alarms about the military’s looming role in Uganda’s future leadership — with Kainerugaba widely seen as Museveni’s likely successor.
