Named himself "President of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland" according to another article.
He needs a couple promotions until he's on a similar level as His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, Victoria Cross, Distinguished Service Order, Military Cross, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
So much pomp in that one. I’m a fan of Norton I. Emperor of the United States, and Protector of Mexico. Rolls off the tongue and can be delivered between bites of fruity pebbles cereal.
