Somalia-Uganda bilateral relations and security cooperation

Overview

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni have engaged in high-level discussions focused on security and economic ties.

In Mogadishu, President Mohamud attended Uganda’s 64th independence anniversary, where he honored Uganda’s long-standing military commitment to Somalia through the African Union Mission in Somalia. He expressed a desire to deepen bilateral ties via trade, investment, and economic development, specifically pledging support for the 20,000 Ugandans working in Somalia.

Following this, President Museveni met with President Mohamud in Entebbe, where he urged Somali leaders to achieve political unity to combat the Al-Shabaab insurgency.

The leaders also discussed strengthening economic cooperation, including the coffee trade between the two nations.
