#Uganda’s planned withdrawal from #Somalia underscores the urgency of strengthening Somalia’s #militarycapacity, unified command structures, and operational readiness, with coordinated international support, to prevent an Al-Shabaab resurgence and safeguard regional #stability.

Uganda’s planned withdrawal from Somalia by 2027 risks creating #security vacuums that could enable #Al-Shabaab and transnational #criminal networks to expand illicit activities, underscoring the need for strengthened regional intelligence-sharing, border surveillance and coordinated counterterrorism and anti-organised #crime measures.
