Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni says his country will reconsider plans to pull its troops from Somalia if the AU stabilization mission there moves in the right direction.
Speaking to reporters at the end of a regional security summit in Kampala Monday, Museveni said the military mission in Somalia has not been working successfully.
“Our main reason for going to Somalia was to help the Somali people to create their own army, but after 9 years we have not created the army,” he said.
He added “We cannot support that type of thing, the type of poor planning is something that we don’t support.”
