DNK International Hassan Omar Hassan has stirred public debate after he was photographed performing a salute at the National Leadership Institute during a parliamentary caucus retreat of Uganda’s ruling party.
The retreat, hosted by Yoweri Museveni, brought together members of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Omar’s gesture—commonly associated with military protocol—raised eyebrows, with many questioning the context and intent behind a civilian adopting such a stance.
The incident has since generated widespread discussion across political and public spheres, with observers debating its symbolism and appropriateness.
