Uganda withdrawing troops from peacekeeping mission in Somalia
In tonight's edition, Uganda starts drawing down troops just days after the UN ends its political mission in Somalia. Also, upcoming municipal elections in South Africa risk solidifying growing political fragmentation. And the drought gripping Chad could be the country’s worst in more than 40 years.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as Uganda starting to withdraw from its Somalia deployment, with BBC News emphasizing the 20-year span of the mission and France 24 using the broader label of a peacekeeping mission. The BBC extract alone adds that Uganda has been helping Somalia fight al-Shabab since 2007. France 24 also places the item in an evening roundup and notes that the UN ended its political mission in Somalia just days earlier.
