Shabab threatens Uganda and Burundi

According to Al Jazeera, Somalia’s al- Shabab fighters have declared they will attack the capitals of Burundi and Uganda in revenge for rocket attacks by peacekeepers from the two countries. The threat follows the killing on Thursday of at least 30 people in Mogadishu, by Amisom, the African Union’s peacekeeping force to which Uganda and Burundi contribute troops. Burundi and Uganda have each 2,500 peacekeepers serving in Amisom.
