Uhuru photo meeting Janet Museveni sparks interesting reactions

A photograph capturing the moment when retired President Uhuru Kenyatta embraced Uganda's First Lady, Janet Museveni, has sparked reactions on social media.

The former head of state visited Uganda after attending the inauguration of the Democratic Republic of Congo's President, Felix Tshisekedi.

The warm reception by Janet was documented by State House Uganda, showing the two figures sharing a hug.

In the image, Uhuru, wearing one of his signature flowered shirts, had his arms on her shoulders, displaying a cheerful demeanor.

Janet reciprocated with a one-armed embrace, holding a purse in her other hand. Netizens commenting on the photo emphasized the close relations between the East African nations.

Some of the reactions included:
