Yoweri Museveni’s government has condemned the Zimbabwe Defence Forces for removing President Robert Mugabe from power. Uganda State Minister for International Relations, Henry Okello Oryem said that the African Union would never recognise a military coup by any military officer or group. Oryem said that Mr Mugabe’s “government is the legitimate leadership” and warned that his government was closely monitoring developments in Zimbabwe from its mission in South Africa.

Yoweri Museveni has been President of Uganda since 1986. Ironically, he was involved in the toppling of two presidents in his own country.
