President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has threatened to withdraw his country’s forces from the peacekeeping mission in Somalia if the United Nations insists on reducing the number of troops on the mission. Ugandan is the first contributing country in AMISOM with 6400 troops fighting against AL Shabab militants in Somalia.
THE BIG PICTURE: Following the proposed drawdown by the UN Security Council and the African Union of the AMISOM troops from Somalia, some contributing countries are now considering to quit the ANISOM if the decision to draw down troops from AMISOM is maintained. Burundi and Uganda have threathened to quit AMISOM.
Burundi, through its parliament, has argued that the reduced size of its troops in Somalia may jeopardize the security of the remaining 4400 troops in Somalia.
Due to declining and irregular funding, the UN Security Council, in Resolution 2372 of 2017, proposed a phased drawdown of peacekeepers in Somalia with a full pullout by 2020.
President of Uganda has been critical of the United Nations Body in various sectors ranging from funding and how the UN acts when some African countries have been accused of failing to protect the human rights of its subjects.
