Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has threatened to withdraw the country’s troops from the African Union’s peacekeeping mission in Somalia.
The warning follows a row between the Somali president Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo and the Prime minister Mohamed Roble over the choice of intelligence chief and the prime minister’s dismissal of the security minister, a decision the president rejected.
President Museveni made a similar threat in 2011 to push Somali leaders to resolve their differences, BBC News reports.
