flag Uganda's elite Special Forces, led by President Museveni’s son, are accused of human rights abuses and consolidating power, raising fears of military instability.

flag Uganda’s Special Forces Command, an elite unit established in 1986, is increasingly seen as a loyalist force ensuring President Yoweri Museveni’s grip on power, operating with autonomy under his son, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who leads the army and has expanded the unit to over 10,000 members. flag Accused of human rights abuses including abductions and killings of opposition figures, the SFC is believed to answer only to Museveni and his family, raising concerns about political consolidation and military instability. flag While the government defends it as vital for security, critics warn of growing tensions within the military and potential conflict, especially as Kainerugaba positions his family for long-term control.
