Ugandan military accuses EU diplomats of engaging in subversive activities
- Ugandan military authorities accused European diplomats, especially German ambassador Matthias Schauer, of subversive activities in Kampala on Friday, May 23, 2025.

- The military froze all defense cooperation with Germany on May 25, citing credible intelligence that Schauer supports hostile pseudo-political-military groups against President Museveni's government.
- Army spokesperson Chris Magezi stated the suspension will remain until the ambassador’s involvement is fully resolved and described the intelligence as relating to 'hostile elements', confirmed to AFP.
- This diplomatic fallout underscores escalating political repression in Uganda amid fears of a turbulent transfer of power and Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s possible succession of the long-serving Museveni.
