The UPDF has sent yet another batch of peacekeepers to Somalia to replace an equal number of fighters who have been recalled from the battlefield after serving for one year.
The group under Uganda Battle Group 35 was flagged off by the UPDF Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Wilson Mbadi at a function held at the Peace Support Operations Training Centre (PSO-TC) in Singo, Nakaseke District after successfully completing the pre-mission training.
Gen Mbadi told the troops that AMISOM is a framework to stop extremists from taking over the affairs of the Somali government.
Gen Mbadi told the soldiers that the mission calls for professionalism and discipline at all levels.
