Kampala – Veteran opposition figure Kizza Besigye and Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago were forced to cancel a scheduled meeting with Sudanese General Abdel Fattah al‑Saleh, citing severe flu‑like illnesses. The meeting, intended to discuss cross‑border security and trade, had been hailed as a potential thaw in strained relations. Sources close to the two politicians confirmed they are receiving treatment at private clinics and will postpone the talks until health permits. The cancellation adds to an already volatile political climate, with both leaders under increasing pressure from security forces.
