President Yoweri Museveni met German Ambassador Matthias Schauer at State Lodge Nakasero on Friday. The leaders discussed trade, investment, technology and sports partnerships between their countries. Both men promised to strengthen the long friendship between Uganda and Germany. Museveni stressed the need for respect between nations working together. Schauer thanked Uganda for the meeting and expressed hope for future cooperation.
Protesters gathered outside the German Embassy during the diplomatic talks. The Patriotic League of Uganda led the demonstration against the ambassador. PLU members accused Schauer of meddling with Uganda's internal politics. The protest group claims the diplomat engaged in harmful activities against the government. Director Michael Mawanda organized hundreds of supporters for the march.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba leads the political movement that organized the protests. His group had delayed the demonstration after senior member Cedric Babu died recently. European Union lawmakers visited opposition leader Bobi Wine's offices recently. Muhoozi warned foreign officials about interfering with Uganda's affairs. The tensions come as Uganda prepares for the 2026 elections.
