The Ugandan army is a paper tiger until I saw its white prints being issued in huge sums

“The army on paper, even the white flag is printed with an inflated budget. The phantom soldier carries no sword but carries an oversized expense bill. When the army exists only as ink on paper, the invasion battle will be decided in the nearest office, not the nearest battlefield.

In reality, the Ugandan army, which is being used to threaten us by the man with the wooden sword and inherited position—the so-called commander of the Ugandan army—is the same army riddled with historical corruption scandals, from the metal sheets scandal to issues in its very formation. Reports have revealed the presence of 24,000 phantom soldiers registered on paper within the ranks of the Ugandan army, marking the largest corruption scandal in the history of African militaries. This means much of Uganda’s military strength was composed of fictitious names.

Over the years, Ugandan army leaders have been obsessed with pocketing the value of those salaries. The phantom army scandal has indeed reduced the number of soldiers from 60,000 to somewhere between 40,000 and 45,000 soldiers. According to the claims of the inherited-position holder, these soldiers—if his parent agrees—will have the mission of invading Khartoum.”
