Bad News for Museveni as UK, US, and Canada Makes This Bold Move Two Days Before Election

Citizens from the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States in Uganda have been cautioned to exercise heightened vigilance following the Ugandan government’s announcement of increased security measures across the country.

The government, citing recent intelligence reports, has stepped up its security presence in major cities, border posts, and public gatherings.

Authorities say the measures are precautionary, aimed at safeguarding both locals and foreign nationals.

Embassies from the UK, Canada, and the US have issued travel advisories urging their citizens in Uganda to remain alert, avoid large crowds, and monitor local news for updates. 

They also encouraged registering with their respective embassies or consulates to receive timely information in case of emergencies.

This development comes amid rising regional tensions and a series of isolated security incidents that have raised concerns about public safety. 

Ugandan police have been seen conducting random vehicle inspections, deploying additional personnel in high-traffic areas, and monitoring online platforms for potential threats.

Local businesses, especially in Kampala and Entebbe, have also been advised to tighten their security protocols, while schools and universities are reportedly reviewing safety plans to protect students and staff.

Security analysts note that while the measures may cause temporary disruptions, they are a proactive step by the Ugandan government to prevent any escalation of threats. “It’s better to overprepare than to be caught off guard,” said a local security consultant.

Travelers and expatriates are advised to stay informed, respect local laws, and follow guidance from both Ugandan authorities and their home-country embassies.
