At the heels of a successful Operation SHUJA in the Democratic Republic of Congo, President Yoweri Museveni buoyed up the Men and Officers of the Uganda Air force Wing for their exemplary performance in neutralizing the ADF, as security forces now turn to comb the Rwenzori Mountains to pursue remnants that fled the onslaught in the DRC.
“The lion lives in the jungle, not on the roads, the road lion is for the zoo“ said by President Yoweri Museveni who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces as he congratulated them on their build-up of the force nucleus that was started in 1986 and is now a formidable force in modern warfare.
The Commander in Chief made the remarks this afternoon while meeting a contingent of Men and Officers of the Uganda Air Force Wing at Entebbe Air Base that recently participated in Operation SHUJA in the DRC.
General Museveni congratulated the leadership of the Air Force upon the buildup of the Force observing that in 1986 the Army had to start afresh by recruiting new soldiers into the force.
The CDF General Wilson Mbadi commended the Commander in Chief for interacting with the forces, especially those that participated in Operation Shuja, adding that the Air Force assets made it possible to strike bases where the ADF had camped for years, freezing their actions and dispersing them. END
