Many of the tweeters say they agree with the "bitter truth" of his words, though some point out that Uganda has its own challenges:

President Museveni kicked us when we're down. His words were the bitter truth but hopefully we will take them as one of the many lessons we have to learn during our difficult times. there's still a time to correct our past and present mistakes. #Somalia

Is there an element of truth in what Museveni is saying? Yes!

Is he diplomatically correct? No!#Somalia #Uganda

Ali@AliMohamoud

Emotional banana ???? throwing at every criticism to your failed state (#Somalia) won’t help you or your country.

Start correcting what is wrong at home. After all you have a limited energy & astronomical challenge

 President @KagutaMuseveni's speech regarding the lack of organised authorities in #Somalia is compatible for us. We don't have local money since June 2017, have two presidents in #Galmudug non of them is functioning & nearly half of the population in need for assistance yearly.

NTV UGANDA?@ntvuganda

There are many countries that have no State. They are there but they have no organised authority that runs them, Somalia is one of them. There are others but I will not mention them for diplomatic reasons - President @KagutaMuseveni #NTVNews http://www.ntv.co.ug/live

Uganda provides the biggest contingent of soldiers to the African Union force in Somalia (Amisom), which has battling al-Shabab militants in the country for 12 years.
