Uganda's decision to withdraw from the African Union has sent shockwaves across the region, with Somalia's security sovereignty facing its biggest test, per The East African.

The move follows growing tensions within the AU over policy disagreements and regional influence, as Kampala seeks to assert its independence in foreign affairs, The East African reports.

Meanwhile, Uganda's Newman Foods has secured a US$3 million loan to expand processing capacity, supporting local economic growth, millingMEA.com notes.

In other developments, 114 children were rescued from Kampala streets last week, according to Monitor.co.ug.
