Social media has been covered with different reports of how Uganda's International Airport, Entebbe rebranded to HUEN Airport raising concern but here we unveil the full truth. What does this mean?
The whole panic started when NTV media personality Andrew Kyamagero tweeted, “Go to google and type “Huen airport” see the results and have a good day”.
When someone googles Huen airport, the first-hand result shown is Entebbe International Airport. Given the intonation of the word Huen, this could have led to the speculation and debate among Ugandans that the country’s International Airport could have been sold off to the Chinese.
Go to google and type "Huen airport" see the results and have a good day.

However, this is not true.
HUEN Airport Meaning:
This comes after reports circulated in the media speculating that Uganda stood to lose control of Entebbe International Airport to Chinese lenders over a $350 million loan.
President Museveni comments on the issue in an interview with the Reuters news agency at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi on Dec. 04 attempted to dismiss claims that the Airport had been “mortgaged” to Chinese lenders who can take control of it in case of default.
