Uganda is pulling out of the Invictus Games, a sports event for wounded military veterans run by the Duke of Sussex, only two months after the country said it would join.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, chief of defence and son of the president, made the announcement in a social media post on X.
He said the decision to withdraw from the games was "in order not to be construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III".
"In order not to be construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere, Uganda hereby withdraws from the Invictus Games," said the general in an overnight post.
