Security agencies across the country are on high alert to avert any possible terror threat targeting both local and foreign nationals in Uganda.

Responding to the UK Government’s warning  in its foreign travel advice on Sunday, that terrorists are likely to carry out attacks in Uganda, the Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Felix Kulayigye said the Government of Uganda cares for the security of all those within its boundaries. He however urged citizens to be vigilant and work with security to defeat every threat.

“We do not have a specific threat. Terrorism is a threat across the world and as you are aware the UK itself, US and France have been attacked before. Terrorism has no borders and does not look for colour. This country is not governed by the UK. This country has a government that cares about the security of its people. The security agents here have been on alert and that is why we are able to burst terror cells wherever they are,” Kulayigye said.
