乌干达军方首脑穆霍奥兹·卡因鲁加巴周三在社交媒体宣布,乌干达将退出因维克塔斯运动会。1卡因鲁加巴表示,"为了不被解读为反对我们深深尊敬的英国国王查尔斯三世陛下,乌干达特此退出因维克塔斯运动会"。1
他向《泰晤士报》进一步阐述了这一决定,称"国防部内有派系支持哈里-梅根的事务,我必须立即压制它。我支持君主"。1
这一举措可能与英王室近期澄清有关。英王室首席侍从理查德·本扬周一代表国王查尔斯发信,澄清苏塞克斯公爵夫妇不再是王室工作成员。1两个月前,哈里王子曾与乌干达国防部长基里约瓦·基万卡在伦敦共同宣布,乌干达成为该运动会的第26个参赛国。1
Uganda's military leadership has announced the country's withdrawal from the Invictus Games, citing respect for King Charles III as the reason for its departure. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba declared on X on Wednesday that Uganda would not participate in an event without the monarch's approval, stating that the decision was necessary to avoid being perceived as opposed to the British king whom Uganda deeply respects 1.
Kainerugaba revealed to The Times that internal divisions within the Defence Ministry had prompted the immediate action, noting that certain factions were backing what he described as the "Harry-Meghan affair" 1. He emphasized his personal support for the monarchy, indicating that suppressing this internal faction was essential 1. The announcement comes two months after Prince Harry and Uganda's Defence Minister Kierowa Kiwanuka announced at an event in London that Uganda would become the 26th competing nation at the Games 1.
The timing of Uganda's withdrawal appears connected to a recent clarification issued by the Royal Household. On Monday, Richard Bejyon, the King's Principal Private Secretary, sent a letter on behalf of Charles clarifying that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer working members of the Royal Family 1.
