In a bid to stabilize Somalia and ensure the possibility of creating a strong post African Union Mission in Somalia era, the UPDF Chief of Defence Forces, Gen David Muhoozi, has called upon Troop Contributing Countries to the AMISOM to collectively come up with strategies that can stabilize Somalia for peace and development to prevail.

 

Gen David Muhoozi, said this as he officiated the meeting of Chiefs of Defense Forces of Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) to the AMISOM at Speke Resort Munyonyo.

He noted that TCCs and other AMISOM Partners remain committed to collectively mitigate the huge challenges they face in Somalia amid the massive terrorist threats and piracy.

Citing challenges like lack of enough Force Multipliers, limited commanders and troops on the ground, and lack of enough skills from the Somali National Army (SNA), among others; Gen Muhoozi re-echoed his position to all TCCs to AMISOM to identify challenges that can help draw a line between the mandate of the mission and the required funding.

Gen Muhoozi also clarified that the existence of AMISOM in Somalia is not forever and called upon other international partners to work together with TCCs to the AMISOM in building a strong and dependable Federal Government of Somalia (FGS).
