Germany rejects accusations towards ambassador after Uganda's military cuts ties
- Uganda's People's Defence Forces suspended all military cooperation with Germany in May 2025, citing the German ambassador's alleged subversive activities.
- The suspension followed credible intelligence reports accusing Ambassador Mathias Schauer of engaging in actions undermining Uganda’s government stability.
- Uganda’s military chief, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, criticized Schauer personally, while German officials denied the accusations as baseless and absurd.
- Germany-Uganda bilateral trade reached approximately $335 million in 2024, but the suspension signals a sharp downturn in diplomatic and defense relations.
- The suspension remains until resolving claims about Schauer's involvement with political-military groups opposing Uganda’s government, suggesting prolonged diplomatic tensions.
