KAMPALA: At least seven Ugandan soldiers have been killed in Somalia, an army spokesperson said on Sunday, part of the ongoing fight against the Al-Shabaab militant group. The soldiers were part of the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) tasked with combating Al-Shabaab.
Recent attacks have stoked fears of a jihadist resurgence in the Horn of Africa nation, especially coming as AUSSOM struggles with insufficient troops and funding shortfalls. The losses came during a three-day siege over a town in the Lower Shabelle region, a Ugandan defence ministry statement said, adding the town was recaptured from Al-Shabaab.
