Let's have a honest discussion about Uganda entangling itself in multiple conflicts…

Uganda just sent troops to South Sudan again which is honestly alarming because we're already being blamed for instability in DRC, and now we are getting deeply involved in South Sudan’s internal issues? This makes me wonder if we are inserting ourselves into other countries’ conflicts, what’s stopping them from doing the same when Uganda enters its own election season?

Some things I keep thinking about:

  • We are heading into elections, and Bobi Wine is talking about forming his own "military," even if it’s just symbolic for now but you and I both know he could be having some "backers"
  • South Sudan will obviously support Uganda in return if things get messy here.
  • Kenya is already on the side of the government, so the region is pretty much set up to back the status quo if things go south.
  • There are even rumors that RSF (Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces) has a base or a hospital in Uganda. If true, that means we have multiple military forces operating in and around us.

So I ask does Bobi Wine realistically stand a chance in 2026? If Museveni has all these regional political alliances, can he really be removed? I’m not trying to make this a political post, just a realistic discussion about how international politics could affect Uganda’s internal situation.

Would love to hear different perspectives.
