Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba's 48th Birthday, April 2022

Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Rwanda's Paul Kagame are two of the African dictators who have been holding on to power the longest.  Despite their brutal and bloody rules, the two dictators have held onto power mostly through repression, kidnappings,  killings, and disappearances of real or supposed political opponents, journalists, and activists.  Anticipating chaos after their departure and potential dire consequences to their relatives and descendants, the top priority for the two leaders has been the preparation of their succession to the throne by their son and daughter.  Hence,  the two dictators have been taking additional steps, promoting their daughter and son to the top positions in the country political and military institutions. In the recent periods Yoweri Museveni's son, Kainerugaba Muhoozi and Paul Kagame's daughter Ange Kagame have been promoted and appointed to top leadership positions within the military and the government.
