Uganda has begun withdrawing its troops from Somalia after nearly two decades of military involvement in the country.
The first contingent of 109 Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) troops reportedly left the capital, Mogadishu, on Friday, following an announcement by Uganda’s army chief, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Uganda’s acting army spokesperson, Chris Magezi, did not respond to the BBC’s request for comment.
