Museveni’s Indian ocean claim sparks regional tensions

It began with an extraordinary claim that rippled across the region, Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni declaring his country owns the Indian Ocean, warning of future conflict if denied access. His remarks ignited confusion, diplomatic unease, and a wave of online ridicule. But over the weekend, President William Ruto stepped in, not to rebuke, but to defend his counterpart, accusing the media of twisting Museveni’s words. So, does Uganda truly have any claim to the Indian Ocean? And what does international law actually say about landlocked states and sea access?
