Govt agencies withdraw from German funding allegedly designed to incubate regime-change

Intelligence dossiers revealed by security agencies indicate that under the guise of running the Civil Society in Uganda Support Programme, Tassilo has co-ordinated a shadow fiancing network channelling resources to radical opposition formations and anti-state actors, allegedly aiming to incubate regime-change infrastructure, co-ordinate extremist messaging, and engineer pre-election disruption ahead of the 2026 general polls.

In the picture combo is a German diplomat, Tassilo von Droste (L) with the Auditor General, Edward Akol. Tassilo is being probed by Uganda's security as well as several local and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on allegations of “fanning political violence”, and “political destabilisation” as the country heads to the January 2026 presidential, parliamentary and local government elections.
