Muhoozi Loyalists Besiege German Embassy Over Spy Plot

People who support General Muhoozi Kainerugaba marched to the German Embassy on Friday. They wore shirts with his picture and carried signs. The group accused Ambassador Matthias Schauer of working against Uganda. Michael Mawanda led the protesters from their offices to the embassy building. Police watched the demonstration but nobody got hurt.

The protesters could not enter the embassy because it was closed. They left a letter for the ambassador at the gate. Mawanda said they followed the rules about diplomatic buildings. He told the crowd they would not force their way inside. The group said the ambassador was hiding from them because he knew he did wrong things.

The protesters chanted slogans about ending colonial times. They demanded the ambassador leave Uganda. Mawanda said enemies wanted to hurt their chairman Muhoozi. He claimed the German diplomat worked with people who wanted to harm Uganda. The group marched peacefully through the streets of Kololo.

Last month a military officer said intelligence agencies watched the ambassador. Colonel Chris Magezi said the diplomat broke international rules. The protesters said they answered Muhoozi's call to defend the country. They accused embassy workers of being scared to face questions about their actions.
