After Mugabe: Do I dare to hope, as a Ugandan?
Museveni has ruled Uganda since 1986 and has won all five elections since 1996 and his cabinet reshuffles are not uncommon.
Following the ousting of Robert Mugabe's 37-year regime through a military coup by General Constantino Chiwenga, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, leader of Uganda since 1986, has reshuffled some of the top most military leadership in the country. For many Ugandans like Ethel Nshakira, Mugabe's fall has been welcomed with excitement in hopes that the nightmare of Museveni's firm 31-year-grip on power will finally be toppled.
In January, the president announced the reshuffle of top military officers in the Uganda Peoples Defence Force (UPDF). Some of these included his son major general Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who was previously head of the elite Special Forces Command, being promoted to a presidential advisory role and the army chief general Edward Katumba Wamala, being moved to a civilian post as a junior minister in the Ministry of Works.
Museveni also recently announced a possible salary raise for soldiers and public servants on his Twitter account.
