Why DP Kindiki Is in Uganda
Deputy President Kindiki is in Uganda representing President William Ruto at the Second Extraordinary Summit of the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).
The high-level regional summit brings together Heads of State and Government from troop-contributing countries—including Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Burundi, Egypt, and Somalia—alongside senior delegations from the African Union, the United Nations, and IGAD.
As one of the leading contributors to regional peace missions, Kenya plays a pivotal role in AUSSOM’s operations to combat Al-Shabaab, protect civilians, and build Somali security institutions.
Kindiki’s presence in Entebbe underlines Kenya’s commitment to advancing regional security, counter-terrorism strategies, and diplomatic cooperation across the Horn of Africa and East Africa.
