ADDIS ABABA – Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is reportedly not happy after he was told that Ethiopia’s Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) was retreating, two months after advancing on the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa which sparked concerns among the international community.
Speaking to Sudans Post this morning, a TPLF diplomat in Nebraska, United States said Museveni has told Debretsion Gebremichael that he has a ‘strong disapproval’ of the decision by TPLF forces to retreat after making gains against Ethiopian federal forces.
“What happened in Afar and Amhara regions was not only a defeat for the TPLF and its allies, but it is also a disappointment for the President of Uganda Yoweri Museveni who is not happy at all after all the gains and advances that we have made against the dictatorial regime of Abiy Ahmed,” the official told Sudans Post on condition of anonymity.
“When he was told that the forces are retreating back towards Tigray, Museveni said in his own words, "I am not happy and I have a strong disapproval for what your troops have done to please those forces" and this is what he said, but it was something that was outside of our power,” the official added.
Museveni and his son are believed to be pro-Tigrayans in the ongoing Ethiopian conflict.
In November his son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba who is also a senior army commander sent shivers down the spines of some people for openly backing the Tigrayan rebel forces currently fighting the elected government of PM Abiy Ahmed.
Gen. Muhoozi posted on his verified Twitter account saying: “Our great Tigrayan brothers and sisters cannot be defeated. They have an unconquerable spirit!”
Ethiopia should reassess its diplomatic relations with Uganda. Just a thought!

Re: Ugandan President Is Not Happy At All About TPLF Retreating
Something going on with Uganda.
Weird.
Maybe because Ethiopia has better relations with South Sudan or maybe they want to deflect their own domestic issues.
Or maybe Ethiopia supports kicking AMISOM out from Somalia.
