Images circulating on social media platforms, including X, Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp, falsely claim that a Uganda Airlines RJ900 aircraft crashed. These images are AI-generated and do not depict a real event.
The false claims emerged after Uganda’s President, Yoweri Museveni, traveled to South Sudan using the Uganda Airlines RJ900 amid rising tensions between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar. President Museveni arrived in Juba Capital-South Sudan on Thursday for high-level discussions, following recent clashes and the detention of the vice president, which have sparked regional concerns about a possible return to civil war.
