The Ugandan government is deploying new troops to Somalia in the coming days to join the African Union Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).<\/p>\n

The Deputy Commander of the Ugandan Army, Major General Francis Takirwa, has spoken to a new contingent of Ugandan soldiers who will soon be deployed to Somalia to join the African Union Support Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).<\/p>\n

During a briefing for the troops, Gen. Takirwa called on the soldiers to uphold the principles of African unity, discipline, and patriotism while on the peacekeeping mission in Somalia.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must always promote the unity and morality of African communities, focusing on patriotism and defending the interests of your country,\u201d said Major General Francis Takirwa.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the deployment of the troops is part of efforts to strengthen peace and stability in Somalia, and to prevent terrorist attacks by Al-Shabaab fighters.<\/p>\n

Uganda remains the largest troop contributor to AUSSOM, and its troops operate mainly in southern Somalia, where they play a key role in peacekeeping, stabilization, and counter-terrorism.<\/p>\n
