OriginalMOGADISHU, Uganda has begun withdrawing its troops from Somalia, with the first flight carrying 109 soldiers departing Aden Adde International Airport this week, according to Somali-language reports that could not be independently verified. The aircraft, a Kenyan-owned Fokker F-100 leased by Uganda and registered as 5Y-SKE, was described by Somali sources as the first flight carrying part of the Ugandan contingent out of Mogadishu. The reports said Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni had told President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud that part of his forces would leave by November 15, and that Ugandan positions in Lower Shabelle were expected to be vacated by November 4. The withdrawal was confirmed in broader terms by Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who announced on October 29 that the Uganda People’s Defence Forces had begun pulling out. “As we promised, we have started withdrawing UPDF from Somalia,” Kainerugaba posted on X. “After 20 years of a lot of blood and sacrifice we are handing over security to our Somali brothers.” The departure follows a meeting between Museveni and Mohamud in Entebbe on October 26, during which the Somali president asked Uganda to keep its troops in the country longer. As FTL Somalia reported, Mohamud had appealed to Museveni to delay the withdrawal from Barawe, Bulo Marer, Qoryoley, and Janaale, to allow Somali forces more time to prepare to take over security responsibilities. Museveni did not agree. According to reporting, the Ugandan leader had previously warned that Uganda could withdraw its troops if Mogadishu failed to reach a negotiated settlement with political stakeholders opposed to its proposed electoral system. The meeting in Entebbe, according to the Ugandan readout, focused instead on Museveni’s appeal for Somali unity against Al-Shabaab and on expanding Ugandan coffee exports to Somalia.
