Uganda’s army chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, launched fresh remarks about his connection to Alexander the Great, as well as a new attack against Turkey, just days after claiming that a DNA test showed he is 14% Greek.

The African general concluded his barrage of posts with another message stating: “We will not allow the Ottoman Empire to return to Africa. It is a diabolical empire. They are the anti-Christ.”
