Uganda: catch all

[JMA]

Rex,

The question is who if the african are not doing the job?

That's all the strategy now. African powers want to show they are capable to take care of Africa and Western powers do not want to get directly involved.
So either we leave the place to China....
Or we train guys to do the job. The last question being: what do we do with them once the job is done...

I'm not sure that even with a relaxing of the ROE the Ugandan army will be able to take Shabab on tactically man for man. I think their position that they will send another 2,000 troops if the ROE are relaxed is the first statement in a process where they will say "because you won't relax the ROE we will not be sending the additional 2,000 troops and and also we will withdraw the 2,700 odd troops we already have there... unless you make it worth our while to leave them there"

Who is going to train these troops and for how long?
