Across the country, the army shake-up last week stirred mixed emotions and reactions and arguably heralded a major shift in leadership.



From the dropping of Aronda Nyakairima as CDF to the appointments of Katumba Wamala as head of the army, Lt Gen Charles Angina as his deputy, Maj Gen David Muhoozi as commander land forces and Brig Leopold Kyanda as Chief of Staff Land Forces - the reshuffle signalled a change of guards from the predominantly Historical NRA top brass to a relatively new breed of leaders.
