Namibian officials on Thursday informed Mutebi II, King of Buganda, a subregion of Uganda, to get the fuck out of their country immediately, they don’t care if he’s in the country for medical treatment and that he’s a monarch whose supplicants don’t believe he should be subject to Namibia’s strict 90-day visa limit, just go home now, fuck off, we’ve had enough of this shit with your dumbass fanboys harassing us with accusations that we’re somehow holding you hostage, the BBC reports.
It didn’t help that Bugandan citizens have been protesting the fake “hostage crisis” outside of Namibian diplomatic facilities in South Africa and the UK over the last few months – even after the king had posted a video announcement telling subjects he was still undergoing treatment but looking forward to returning home. “Having checked the records, I wish to inform you that the request for an extension is declined,” a government official told NBC (that’s the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation), possibly with a half-smirk indicating he wasn’t sad to see Mutebi go.
Actual Ugandan government officials weren’t all that upset, like they understood that the Mutebi II stans are a pain in the ass. “I request all the Ugandans to stop embarrassing Uganda by opportunistically trying to show how much they are for the Kabaka [king],” Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni said earlier this month after a particularly embarrassing incident involving Bugandan chiefs. Following the GTFO order from Namibia, Ugandan Foreign Minister Henry Oryem Okello said he totally understood, telling the local paper Uganda Monitor that “Namibia has decided that they are not interested in this kind of bad publicity, and we should respect [their] position.”
