The Uganda People’s Defence Forces have dismissed a report that is circulating in Ethiopian media claiming that Uganda is funding Tigray rebels to overthrow the Ethiopian government.
An alleged leaked intelligence report dubbed; First Forward xxx2xxx, has been in the Ethiopia media since May claiming that Uganda is training Tigray rebels in Karamoja Sub-region and also channeling funding to rebels through South Sudan.
However, the UPDF spokesperson, Brig Felix Kulayigye, yesterday said the report is “a total fabrication”.
“The so-called report on alleged attempts to destabilise Ethiopia is a total fabrication that exposes the author’s ignorance of simple and basic facts; First, Uganda does not border Ethiopia as the author claims. [Secondly], a one James Kabarebe has never been a Minister of Defence in Uganda. [Thirdly], Uganda’s ambassador to S. Sudan has never met the alleged Gen Akol Koor.
The two have never met, and don’t know each other,” Brig Kulayigye tweeted yesterday.
