Somalia

Two Somalis were killed during rioting that broke out in Bossaso after a cleric named Sheikh Osman was detained by security forces. Uganda has deployed an additional 300 troops to Somalia. An Islamist leader claimed this deployment and others totaling up to 1,820 new soldiers were made “secretly.”
