Uganda's army stopped all military partnerships with Germany on Sunday. Colonel Chris Magezi announced the decision after intelligence reports about German Ambassador Matthias Schauer. The military believes Schauer works with groups that oppose the Ugandan government. Army officials say the ambassador helps hostile forces that want to harm the country. The suspension will continue until officials solve the problem completely.
Ambassador Schauer faces growing accusations from Ugandan security agencies about interfering with local politics. Intelligence services claim he maintains contact with opposition groups that fight against the ruling party. The German Embassy has not answered these serious charges or made any public statements. Ugandan authorities demand answers about the ambassador's activities and connections. Security officials want proof that Schauer respects Uganda's independence.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba recently posted messages about kicking out foreign ambassadors from Uganda. The German diplomat complained to senior Ugandan leaders about these threatening statements. The Patriotic League of Uganda plans to demonstrate at the German Embassy on June 5. Past military cooperation between the two countries involved training programs and peacekeeping missions. Germany's government has not commented on the suspended partnership.
