General Muhoozi Kainerugaba of Uganda has expressed regret to President William Ruto of Kenya for tweeting threats to invade the neighboring nation and seize its capital in two weeks.
After receiving negative feedback from Kenyans in response to Gen Kainerugaba’s comments, his father, President Yoweri Museveni, apologized to Kenya.
The general claimed in his apology on Thursday night that he had never had an issue with President Ruto
In closing, he said, “As his younger brother, I urge him to pardon me if I made any mistakes wherever.”

Long accused of preparing his 48-year-old son to take over when he inevitably steps down, Mr. Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, has always denied the accusation.
