Uganda has begun withdrawing peacekeeping troops from Somalia after nearly two decades of fighting al-Shabab militants, per BBC.
The withdrawal marks a significant shift in Uganda's regional security engagement as it reduces its military footprint in the Horn of Africa.
The move coincides with reports that U.S. funding for the African Union mission in Somalia is under threat, potentially impacting long-term stability in the region, Washington Post notes.
