Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Commander of Uganda's Armed Forces, issued the ultimatum to Ambassador Popp, urging him to apologize to President Museveni or depart from Uganda within three days.

According to a report by Nile Post, Kainerugaba indicated that the ambassador had been involved in actions that were incompatible with his diplomatic status.

He noted that Uganda does not have a problem with the U.S., but recently, officials have observed "numerous pieces of evidence" suggesting that the U.S. is working against the country's government.

"WE WILL ENTER INTO A SERIOUS CONFLICT"

Kainerugaba stated, "Dear Ugandans, it is my sacred duty to announce that we will enter into a serious conflict with the current U.S. ambassador in our country. He has disrespected our beloved and esteemed president and undermined the Ugandan constitution."
