Uganda's inflation surged to a three-year high of 12.3% in October, driven by currency devaluation, Reuters reports.

The central bank raised its main interest rate to 15.5% in an effort to curb the slide, Bloomberg notes.

Meanwhile, Uganda has begun withdrawing troops from Somalia after nearly two decades of presence, per Hiiraan.com.
