Uganda deploys more peacekeepers in volatile Somalia

KAMPALA (Sh. M. Network) -- Uganda has deployed another battalion of soldiers in volatile Somalia bringing the total number of its soldiers there to over 2,000, a top military commander here has said.

Gen. Aronda Nyakairima, Chief of Defense Forces of Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) told reporters on Tuesday that the battalion left for Somalia on Sunday to beef up the already 1,700 Ugandan peacekeepers deployed in the capital Mogadishu.

"With the new president, parliament, reinforcement of AMISOM, we hope to begin seeing faster reconciliation in Somalia," he said.

The troops are deployed under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).

The new deployment in the Horn of African country comes two weeks after the Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheik Ahmed visited Uganda and Burundi seeking for more help.

Crispus Kiyonga, Uganda's minister of defense told parliament early this year that Burundi would also be sending another battalion to Somalia to beef up its other battalion already deployed there.

He said that the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the opposition Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia had agreed to raise another 10,000 troops internally, to pacify the war-torn country.

Nyakairima said in January that once the troops are on the ground, two battalions, one battalion from Uganda or Burundi together with another from the local joint force would be deployed in Baidoa to protect parliament.

The over 3,500 peacekeepers now deployed in Somalia are far below the 8,000 African Union peacekeepers required to help pacify the lawless country.

The Ethiopians troops who helped the TFG topple an Islamist administration in late 2006 withdrew early this year, creating an urgent need to deploy more peacekeepers.

Somalia has lacked a strong government since the ouster of military strongman Siad Barre in 1991. (Xinhua)

Why would Shariif go to Rwanda if he wasn't asking for additional troops to guard his life?

bal dadkan dawlada sh sharif ku jira may caqli xunyihin maxay ku haysteen
Maxammad cabdilahi omar who said i want more troops whats the difference when he says it and when sh sharif goes to uganda rwanda and says i want more troops halkey sheekadu ka walantahay

I think Sheikh shariif has released the importance of having foreign troops at hand if he wants to stay in villa Somalia. The AU troops are more reliable than his qabil marka Shariif is in the same position as the last President. If things get real heated In Mogadishu I won't be suprised if the Shariif calls back the Ethiopians

The irony: the man that was speaking against foreign troops yesterday is begging for more, what happen to the love reer Mogadishu had for Shariif?

[Somalian_Boqor]

I throught this new adminstration was going to bring forth a new formula in solving the Somali problem. What was the point of fighting A/Y if one is going to read from his book?

What is Sheikh shariif doing..bringing ugandans in when ethiopians have just left

The reason All Somalis rallied behind Him is because they thought Him being former ICU Chairman, would be able to restore order to Mogadishu and be able to secure His life without foreign troops. If it turns out He's life dependent on them just like AY, then Yes He is no different and nothing Has changed and all the optimism was misplaced

lol

No one is innocent in Mogadishu it's a focking war zone.
Those that fight Goverment deserve to get massacred for the good of Somaliweyn iyo Dawladnimo.

I don't know what you want from A/Y but the newly elected Sheikh shariif is not going to do anything different.

Sheikh shariif is on the path of massacring more youth iyo innocent people like he did in 2006. This time he called in for AU troops to help him do the job.

You brain dead animals make me sick!!!!
