Uganda Army Chief Signals Readiness to Join War on Israel’s Side

Uganda’s top military commander has declared readiness to enter the war on Israel’s side, raising questions about the country’s motives and real capabilities. Why Uganda Has Taken Israel’s Side “We want the war in the Middle East to end right now. But any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will drag us into the war. On Israel’s side!” Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, wrote on social network X. In Uganda, around 80% of the population are Christians (Catholics, Protestants, and rapidly growing evangelical communities). Protestants and evangelicals believe in the biblical prophecy that the Jewish people must return to their land. For them, support for Israel is seen as a religious duty.
