Uganda has officially suspended all military cooperation with Germany, accusing German Ambassador Matthias Schauer of engaging in “subversive activities” and supporting anti-government groups. The Uganda People’s Defence Forces made the announcement following intelligence reports, marking a sharp escalation in diplomatic tensions.

The UPDF claims Ambassador Schauer was involved with so-called “negative and traitorous” elements within Uganda, allegations that stem from a private meeting with President Museveni’s brother. During that meeting, Schauer reportedly criticized the online behavior of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba—Museveni’s son and army chief.
