Uganda begins withdrawing troops from Somalia after 20 years

Uganda has begun withdrawing its troops from Somalia after nearly two decades of military involvement in the country.
Uganda's acting army spokesperson Chris Magezi on Monday said the first group of troops deployed to Somalia through a bilateral arrangement had already arrived back home and others would follow in a few days' time.
He said all forces, including those under the African Union (AU) mission, would exit by the end of 2027 in the phased withdrawal.
