Uganda said Monday that it had begun the withdrawal of its troops from Somalia, where it has been one of the crucial contributors to an anti-insurgent coalition.
Uganda was the first country to provide troops to Somalia when the African Union set up an international military mission in March 2007 to battle Islamist insurgents in the country.
There have been successive African Union missions since then, and Uganda has remained a key backer with thousands of troops deployed in Somalia.
