Just days after Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni apologised to Kenya over his son's threats to invade, a video of Uganda's military failing a public drill has gone viral.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba, a top general in the Ugandan army, made headlines around the world and sparked a diplomatic storm when he said on social media he would capture the Kenyan capital in two weeks.
The president's son was later removed from his post as commander of land forces but also promoted to the rank of four-star general. The saga was thrown back into the spotlight this week when a video reportedly of Uganda's military performing drills for the country's independence celebrations last weekend was shared online.
It showed four paratroopers missing their marks, landing in the stands and wiping out a portable toilet.Here's a look at some reactions:

Kenya's Ruto In Talks With Museveni After Son's Twitter ThreatsKenyan President William Ruto has held talks with Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni. The meeting comes within days of Museveni's son Lieutenant-General Muhoozi Kainerugaba's controversial Twitter posts, in which he claimed that he and the Ugandan army would seize control of Kenya's capital Nairobi in less than two weeks - sparking outrage from Kenyans. Ruto was in Uganda to attend the country's 60th Independence Day celebrations. In his meeting with Museveni, Ruto assured that Kenyan and Ugandan ties are intact. He said the two countries will remain friends, to improve the East African Community's (EAC) fortunes. Ruto challenged his counterpart to take charge of those efforts and set out first to eliminate the region's border issues. He said that the border challenges had affected the region's untapped growth. President Museveni pleaded with Kenyans to forgive the Twitter rant by his son Muhoozi - in which he questioned why former President Uhuru Kenyatta failed to contest for a third term after his two-year term expired, arguing that Kenyatta would have easily won the country's top seat if he had chosen to run.
