Outgoing chief of defence forces Gen Katumba Wamala has expressed concern over plans by Burundi to withdraw its troops from Somalia.
This comes as the country starts the process of withdrawing from the African Union Mission in Somalia due to a dispute with the African Union over payment.
Gen Katumba says if this is done, it will negatively affect the mission and will exert pressure on the Ugandan troops in Somalia.
Uganda, Burundi and Djibouti have been the only countries with troops in Somalia under AMISOM.
