Uganda extradites army chief's associate to US on cartel arms charges

Uganda has handed over former officer Michael Katongole Mbiroi, a close associate of the president's son and army chief, to the United States to face charges of conspiring with a Mexican drug cartel and supplying it with military weapons. The move signals a rare cooperation between Kampala and Washington in a high-profile case, but the political implications for the president's family remain unclear. The extradition could strain domestic political dynamics while bolstering US-Uganda security ties.
