Uganda's special forces command rivals the army's power

Uganda's Special Forces Command (SFC) is increasingly viewed as a private army loyal to President Museveni and his family, raising concerns about its influence. The elite unit, once commanded by Museveni's son, is accused of abductions and torture of opposition activists, allegedly rivaling the power of the regular army. Critics fear the SFC's growing power and ethnic recruitment could lead to instability and a power struggle after Museveni's departure.
