We’ll Talk Like Brothers Muhoozi Forgives Sejusa After Years of Political Rift

In a surprising and heartfelt gesture, Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has said he has forgiven General David Sejusa—once one of his harshest critics.

Taking to social media, Muhoozi shared a message that caught many off guard:

“I have made peace in my heart with General Tinyefuza. After all the injury he heaped on me for many years, I forgive him.”

It’s a bold step, considering the history between the two. Back in 2013, Sejusa (then known as Gen Tinyefuza) accused the government of plotting to make Muhoozi—then just a brigadier—the successor to President Yoweri Museveni. He called it the ‘Muhoozi Project’, a claim that sent shockwaves through Uganda’s political and military circles.

In his letter to the Internal Security Organisation, Sejusa warned that those who opposed the so-called project could face threats—even death. The letter was leaked, igniting controversy and pushing Sejusa into exile, where he lived for several years fearing for his life.

The government was quick to deny the claims. President Museveni called the project a “diversion”, while government spokesperson Fred Opolot insisted that Muhoozi’s rise was based on merit, not nepotism:

“Muhoozi has propelled himself and shown excellence in the army hierarchy… it is untrue that the president is grooming his son.”

Fast forward to 2025, and the two generals may soon be sitting down together.

“I will meet him, under the supervision of the Commander-in-Chief, in exactly two weeks!” Muhoozi said.

Their reconciliation would mark a full-circle moment—two men once divided by distrust, possibly coming together in dialogue and understanding.

After returning from exile, Gen Sejusa officially retired from the army in 2022, delivering a gracious speech that surprised many:

“I am proud to belong to the UPDF… I thank the people of Uganda from all their regions for their sacrifices.”

Now, it seems both men are choosing reflection over rivalry—perhaps signalling a new chapter in Uganda’s political journey.
