The European Union (EU) will start the training of 2,000 Somali troops in Uganda in May, a senior French army official said here on Friday.
Brigadier General Thierry Caspar-Fille-Lambie, the commanding officer of the French Forces based in Djibouti said the Somali troops will be trained with the necessary military skills to help pacify and stabilize the volatile country.
The Somali troops will be trained for six months in Bihanga in western Uganda.
