| 2014-04-25 |
| Some rogue instructors in the Ugandan army have been accused of training a number of Al-Shabaab fighters using African Union Mission on Somalia (AMISOM) facilities in Somalia, a Ugandan newspaper has revealed. New Vision, a government owned newspaper says the army instructors trained 10 Al-Shabaab fighters using AMISOM facilities following instructions from their commanders. Two commanders, Major Frank Kawero and Captain Hassan Wantimba are being court martialed in Kampala. Lance Corporal Jackson Byabagambi, currently a witness in the case against the two accused officers, told the General Court Martial presided over by Brigadier Moses Ssentongo on Tuesday that the Al-Shabaab fighters were trained at the Aljazeera training ground. Byabagambi said the Al-shabab fighters were trained following instructions from Watimba. |
