'Give $1 Billion, Most Beautiful Woman As Wife': Uganda Army Chief To Turkey

Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also the son of President Yoweri Museveni, has demanded $1 billion from Turkey and the "most beautiful woman in the country" as his wife.

Kainerugaba claimed that Uganda's contribution to regional security efforts had gone unrecognised and that financial compensation was due.

He has also threatened to cut diplomatic ties with Turkey and close its embassy in Kampala within 30 days if his demands are not met.

He also made a separate controversial remark, asking Turkey to hand over "the most beautiful woman in the country," saying he would marry her.

In a series of posts on X, Kainerugaba accused Turkey of benefiting from business and infrastructure projects in Somalia, including ports and airports in the capital, Mogadishu.
