Uganda Begins Withdrawing Troops from Somalia After Nearly 20 Years
Uganda has commenced the withdrawal of its troops from Somalia, marking the end of nearly two decades of its presence in the country. This phased withdrawal is part of a broader plan by the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) to hand over security responsibilities to Somali forces. The departure of Ugandan forces, a significant contributor to ATMIS, will impact the security landscape as Somalia continues its fight against Al-Shabaab.
