罗德尼·穆胡穆扎（RODNEY MUHUMUZA）坎帕拉，乌干达——据军方称，乌干达一名退役副军事长官因涉嫌计划破坏该国部分地区的稳定而被捕。
RODNEY MUHUMUZA KAMPALA, Uganda — A former deputy military chief in Uganda has been arrested over allegations of planning to destabilize parts of the country, according to the military.
据军事发言人克里斯·马盖齐（Chris Magezi）上校称，曾于2021年至2024年担任副国防军总司令的三星上将彼得·埃尔韦卢（Peter Elwelu）于周一被拘留。
Peter Elwelu, a three-star general who served as the deputy chief of defense forces between 2021 and 2024, was taken into custody Monday, according to military spokesman Col. Chris Magezi.
马盖齐表示，埃尔韦卢“因参与颠覆活动以及破坏乌干达东部偏远出生和成长地区的计划而一直在逃”。“安全部队最近在他身上搜出了15支枪、军用迷彩服和两辆皮卡车。”记者无法联系到埃尔韦卢予以置评。他被军方扣押在一个未知地点。政府尚未证实对他的指控。
Elwelu was “on the run over involvement in subversive activities and plans to destabilize” a remote part of eastern Uganda where he was born and raised, Magezi said. “The security forces recently recovered 15 guns in his possession, military fatigues, and two pickup trucks.”Elwelu could not be reached for comment. He was being held by military authorities at an unknown location. The government has yet to substantiate the allegations against him.
在埃尔韦卢被捕之前，乌干达军事长官穆胡齐·凯内鲁加巴（Muhoozi Kainerugaba）指责他在去年退出现役后从事叛国活动。凯内鲁加巴表示，他已下令搜捕小队活捉埃尔韦卢。
Ahead of Elwelu’s arrest, Ugandan military chief Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba accused him of engaging in treacherous activities after his retirement from active duty last year. Kainerugaba said he had ordered the search party to capture Elwelu alive.
埃尔韦卢曾任陆军司令，此前曾就军事行动与凯内鲁加巴意见不一，导致总统约韦里·穆塞韦尼（Yoweri Museveni）从中斡旋进行了一次紧急会面。
Elwelu, a previous commander of the land forces, once disagreed with Kainerugaba over military operations, leading to an urgent meeting mediated by President Yoweri Museveni .
凯内鲁加巴是穆塞韦尼的儿子，被视为其潜在接班人。就在穆塞韦尼于今年5月宣誓就职第七个连续任期几个月后，凯内鲁加巴便启动了对2031年总统大选的竞选活动，这是这个从未实现过和平权力移交的东非国家的下一次预定选举。
Kainerugaba is Museveni’s son and seen as his likely successor . Just months after Museveni was sworn in in May of this year for a seventh consecutive term, Kainerugaba launched a presidential bid for 2031, the next scheduled elections in this East African country that has never had a peaceful transfer of power.
在9月年满82岁的穆塞韦尼领导下，乌干达享有相对的和平与稳定。但一些分析人士担心，如果权力过渡不是暴力的话，也可能会动荡不安。穆塞韦尼在执政党内部没有竞争对手，许多人相信军方将在选择其接班人方面拥有发言权。
Uganda enjoys relative peace and stability under Museveni, who turned 82 in September. But some analysts worry the transition to another leader is likely to be volatile if not violent. Museveni has no rivals within the ruling party, and many believe the military will have a say in choosing his successor.
n穆塞韦尼在前两次选举中的主要对手、被称为鲍比·维恩（Bobi Wine）的音乐家兼活动人士目前流亡美国。曾在过去四次与穆塞韦尼竞选的反对派人物基扎·贝西格耶（Kizza Besigye）因叛国罪名入狱，他称这些指控是出于政治动机。贝西格耶的妻子、联合国艾滋病规划署执行主任温妮·比扬伊马（Winnie Byanyima）称，她丈夫的健康状况正在恶化。
Museveni’s main rival in the last two elections, the musician and activist known as Bobi Wine , is in exile in the U.S. Kizza Besigye, the opposition figure who ran against Museveni four times previously, is in jail on treason charges he says are politically motivated. Besigye’s wife, UNAIDS executive director Winnie Byanyima, says her husband is in failing health.
穆塞韦尼于1986年作为游击队领导人通过武力首次夺取政权，该游击队的目标是在经历多年混乱和内战后实现乌干达的民主化。他当时表示，非洲的问题在于那些恋栈不去的领导人。
Museveni first took power by force in 1986 as the leader of a guerrilla force whose goal was to democratize Uganda after years of chaos and civil war. He said at the time that Africa’s problem was leaders who overstayed their welcome.
很久以后，穆塞韦尼改变了立场，称他的批评是指那些在没有选举授权的情况下延长统治的领导人。多年来，宪法规定的任期限制和年龄限制已被废除。美联社非洲新闻：
Much later, Museveni changed his stance to say his criticism was of leaders who prolonged their rule without an electoral mandate. Constitutional term limits and age restrictions have been scrapped over the years. AP Africa news:
