He arrived in the country in April 2024 for medical treatment and is currently at the Okonguarri Psychotherapeutic Centre in the Outjo area in the Kunene region,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of the request for a delegation to visit the king, the relevant Namibian authorities have no objection, provided that the immigration formalities are met,\u201d the letter says.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"aswift_2_host\"><\/a>The embassy informed the media that the necessary security precautions were taken to ensure safety of the king while in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>When approached for comment, Andjamba said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to speak on this issue anymore,\u201d Andjamba said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, international relations and cooperation minister Peya Mushelenga says he is unaware of Mutebi being in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation deals with international relations and foreign policy issues and not the treatments of people,\u201d Mushelenga says.<\/p>\n<p>Mutebi is the king of Buganda, Uganda\u2019s largest monarchy, which traces its origins back to the 13th century.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Daily Monitor Uganda, the relationship between Mutebi and Uganda\u2019s president Yoweri Museveni can best be described as a love-hate dynamic spanning nearly 42 years.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, central to this volatile relationship is their differing views on power, because while Mutebi\u2019s subjects want him to preside over a quasi-state, Museveni sees him merely as a cultural leader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
