Uganda says has been informed of U.S. sanctions against its military intelligence chief

Uganda's military said on Tuesday it has been officially notified of United States financial sanctions against its chief of military intelligence Major General Abel Kandiho.

The Ugandan military made the announcement in a statement but did not specify whether the U.S. had informed Uganda of the reason for the sanctions. "...(W)e are disappointed that such a decision could be made by a country we consider friendly, a partner and a great ally, without due process...", the statement said. It added that Uganda would seek clarification from the U.S. government.
