U.S With The Help Of Uganda Ready To Take Somalia Over

Uganda Willing to Provide 20,000 Troops for Somalia


Photo: AP - Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni says his country can provide t
he 20,000-troop force the African Union says is needed to defeat Islamic militants
in Somalia.

In a statement released by his office late Monday, Mr. Museveni said Uganda can provide the force if it can get the required logistics and equipment. He said a few committed African nations with military capacity should take on the job of pacifying Somalia.

Mr. Museveni made the comments earlier in the day to a group of visiting generals from European Union states.

Ugandan troops make up most of the AU peacekeeping force of 7,200 in Somalia. The force is helping Somalia's government battle insurgent groups al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam, which are trying to turn Somalia into a strict Islamic state.

The Ugandan leader also said the way to fight Somali pirates is to build a strong government in Somalia.

The current government has been wracked by infighting and controls only a few parts of the capital, Mogadishu. Somalia has not had a stable central government in nearly two decades.

I think Museveni is suffering from bi-polar disorder. One minute hes threatening to pull his troops out of Somalia the next minute he wants to go all in.

Take another look at the picture smart one. If you had any idea of what's been happening since 2006, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question.

Imagine if you were a president for over two decades, what would have you done to spike up your presidential life?
