Convicted Ugandan Amisom soldiers to be repatriated from Somalia


African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) has confirmed that several convicts of its soldiers will be moved to Uganda barely three days after a martial court in Somalia capital sentenced two soldiers to death and three others to 39 years in jail for the murder of Somali civilians in Goloweyn.

The soldiers had killed the civilians on 10th August 2021. They will be repatriated from Somalia to Uganda to serve their sentences. AMISOM previously admitted that its soldiers killed farmers during an operation against al-Shabaab terrorists on the outskirts of Golwayn.

The Ugandan martial court has in the past tried its soldiers who are serving under AMISOM in Somalia. Ugandan soldiers are based in the capital Mogadishu and the Lower Shabelle region.
