The British High Commission in Uganda has warned of “a growing terror threat in Uganda, including targeting of foreigners”, hours after the US embassy issued a similar alert.
Both diplomatic missions on Tuesday warned their citizens against attending large gatherings, including worship activities and also cautioned against participation in music and cultural festivals, ahead of the popular Nyege Nyege festival on Thursday.
The United Kingdom government has also advised its citizens against visits to the Semuliki National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park, where a British and South African couple and their Ugandan guide were killed by the Allied democratic forces (ADF) militant group last month.
