“Israel stood with us when we were nobodys in the 1980s and 1990s. Why wouldn’t we defend her now that our GDP is $100 billion, one of the largest in Africa?"

IDF Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, the older brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was killed in action in Uganda during a counter-terrorism operation that rescued more than 100 hostages on July 4, 1976

Uganda willing to fight in war alongside Israel, military chief says

Uganda’s military chief tweeted on Wednesday that his country is willing to go to war on Israel’s side.

“We want the war in the Middle East to end now. The world is tired of it. But any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will bring us into the war. On the side of Israel!” wrote Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the chief of the Uganda People’s Defence Force and the son of the country’s President Yoweri Museveni.

Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the chief of the Uganda People’s Defence Force and the son of the country’s President Yoweri Museveni.

The tweet went viral, generating more than 1.3 million engagements on the social media platform as of Thursday morning.

Elaborating on his stance the following day, Kainerugaba tweeted, “We stand with Israel because we are Christians. Saved by the Holy Son of God … Jesus Christ the only One who can forgive sins. The Bible says ‘Blessed are you Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword.’ (Deuteronomy 33:29).”

The tweet went viral, generating more than 1.3 million engagements on the social media platform as of Thursday morning.

In a separate tweet, he said, “Israel stood with us when we were nobodys in the 1980s and 1990s. Why wouldn’t we defend her now that our GDP is $100 billion? One of the largest in Africa.”

Last month, Kainerugaba revealed that his country was planning to erect a statue of IDF Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, the older brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was killed in action in Uganda during a counter-terrorism operation that rescued more than 100 hostages on July 4, 1976.

The statue is expected to be erected at Entebbe Airport, where Yonatan Netanyahu fell in battle, according to Kainerugaba.

On Thursday morning, the general posted a “sneak peek” image of the statue “soon” to be unveiled.

Development would be a good initiative to reduce the population of Africa.

High competition on scarce resources has been a major setback for the continent.

If Uganda can take the lead, Nigerian IDF’s can follow.

And who would be doing this reduction of African population? DEFEATED Iran or someone else? You folks don't know Iran is gone the moment US decides they've had enough of the games. Read this statement below beyond just the words. You'd get insight into what's really going on.

This is not our war. Africans should not get involved in this conflict.

If some country attacks Nigeria would you like our friends we've helped in the past to say it is not their war?

Igbos ought be doing like Uganda - because Israel was one of very few countries that recognized Biafra and supplied them during that war.
I still don't know the logic behind Israel recognition and support of Biafra though

Probably has something to do with the fact that Igbos came from ancient Israel

I may be mistaken but I thought it was conclusively proven Igbos never came from Israel

Wow. That's a good country that remembers.

This one wants to kill his people.. Only one strike Hopefully they target where he lives and leave the places where the innocent people are

Don't drag africa into this thing.. we don't have any power to protect ourself

Who is going to fight the war in Uganda?
About Action bitters talk

Horus:
This is not our war. Africans should not get involved in this conflict.

You this self-centered mentality that is killing Nigeria and Nigerians?
Is America not helping you fight the bandits and terrorists in your country?

Israel has consistently defended what is right, stood for humanity, and taken action against terrorism.

Iran is gone


I tell you from my heart

Who they talk?

Uganda

Rubbish

Very funny

The military chief must be a clown

But at least you should understand the context of the war first. Not in any way about religion. Why dragging religion into it? Instead of making it your war, why not come in as a mediator in any way you can.

Anyway, wishing best of luck in your forthcoming war with your brother's enemy.

Even UK wey colonize Uganda dey fear Khorramshar multi-warhead

Ths conflict may draw a line for the future third world war......
