乌干达军方15个月内至少12名将领被捕 陆军司令本周威胁撤换副总统
过去15个月里，乌干达至少有12名将领和高级军官被逮捕。主导这场整肃的是乌干达陆军司令穆胡齐·凯内鲁加巴将军，他是执政四十年的总统约韦里·穆塞韦尼之子，现年52岁，被广泛视为潜在的接班人选。
本周，凯内鲁加巴又把矛头指向副总统杰西卡·阿卢波，威胁要将她撤职、甚至逮捕，并暗示副总统职位应由他本人接任。执政的全国抵抗运动则否认了有关其高层已否决支持凯内鲁加巴接任总统提议的报道。
被捕者中最受关注的是前陆军副司令彼得·埃尔韦卢中将。他于11月2日被拘留，被指涉嫌策划破坏东部 Teso 地区的稳定。凯内鲁加巴在社交平台 X 上发文称，叛徒彼得·埃尔韦卢就此被剥夺军衔，降为列兵。军方随后证实了拘留一事，称调查人员查获了与他有关的15支枪、军服和两辆皮卡车。
其他高层被捕者还包括多名前情报系统负责人。前国防情报与安全负责人詹姆斯·比伦吉少将于2025年8月被捕，被控罪名包括叛国、恐怖主义和腐败，之后获释，凯内鲁加巴称已宽恕他；另一名前情报负责人阿贝尔·坎迪霍少将今年9月被捕，目前仍在拘留中。据乌干达《每日箴言报》的调查，自2025年4月以来，已有三名前军事情报负责人被捕。
军方称这些逮捕是反腐行动的一部分，政府发言人艾伦·卡苏贾否认存在与接班有关的内讧。在加拿大约克大学任教的乌干达裔政治学者杰拉尔德·巴里贝则对 BBC 表示，他认为这些逮捕与围绕穆塞韦尼接班问题的政治角力有关，在乌干达常被称为穆胡齐计划；他称，被认为不支持该计划的高级军官遭到了逮捕、拘留或以腐败和叛国罪名被起诉。
At Least a Dozen Ugandan Generals Arrested in 15 Months as Army Chief Threatens Vice President
Over the past 15 months, at least a dozen generals and senior officers have been arrested in Uganda under Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the country's army chief and the son of President Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled the country for four decades. Kainerugaba, 52, is widely seen as a potential successor to his father.
This week, Kainerugaba threatened Vice-President Jessica Alupo with dismissal and possible arrest, while suggesting he should take her position. The ruling National Resistance Movement has rejected reports that its senior leadership had rejected a proposal to back Gen Kainerugaba as the next president.
Among the most prominent detainees is former deputy army chief Lt Gen Peter Elwelu, detained on 2 November over allegations that he had plotted to destabilise the eastern Teso region. Kainerugaba announced the move on X, writing that "the traitor Peter Elwelu is hereby stripped of his ranks. He is demoted to Private." The army later confirmed Elwelu's detention, saying investigators had recovered 15 guns, military uniforms and two pickup trucks linked to him.
Other senior arrests include former intelligence chiefs. Maj Gen James Birungi, a former head of defence intelligence and security, was arrested in August 2025 on allegations including treason, terrorism and corruption, and was later released after Kainerugaba said he had forgiven him. Another former intelligence chief, Maj Gen Abel Kandiho, was arrested in September this year and remains in detention. Three former military intelligence chiefs have been arrested since April 2025, according to an investigation by Uganda's Daily Monitor newspaper.
The military has defended the arrests as part of efforts to tackle corruption, and government spokesperson Allan Kasujja has dismissed claims of a succession-related fallout. Gerald Bareebe, a Ugandan-born political scientist at Canada's York University, told the BBC he saw the arrests as connected to political manoeuvring over Museveni's succession, commonly referred to as the "Muhoozi Project," saying senior officers believed not to support the project had been arrested, detained or charged with corruption and treason.
