Uganda military chief demands medal from former college before troops sent to Gaza as part of ISF

Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has publicly demanded a medal from his former college in Fort Leavenworth, USA, and an apology from U.S. Senator James Risch (R-Idaho) before deploying Ugandan troops to Gaza as part of the International Stabilization Force (ISF). Kainerugaba claimed that Uganda had accepted the Gaza mission because other nations were avoiding it, but insisted on recognition from his alma mater before sending soldiers. He also accused Risch of insulting him and the Ugandan military, vowing that no Ugandan soldier would die in Gaza for Risch. This follows Uganda's approval of troop deployment to Gaza, which aligns with constitutional obligations and international commitments, according to Uganda's Defense Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka. Kainerugaba has previously expressed support for Israel in regional conflicts.
