In Uganda's military, even senior generals are finding that their rank offers little protection from the wrath of the country's powerful army chief. Over the past 15 months, at least a dozen generals and senior officers have been arrested under Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also the son of President Yoweri Museveni, in a crackdown that has unsettled the military's top ranks. The arrests come amid growing political tensions over who will succeed Museveni, who has ruled Uganda for four decades. Gen Kainerugaba, 52, is widely seen as a potential successor, although his ambitions appear to be facing resistance within the ruling party.
