Reports circulating in Kampala indicate that Anne Mugisha, the former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) activist who quit the party to work as the information officer for UN political office for Somalia, was killed in a bomb attack in Mogadishu.

The news about Anne Mugisha’s death has divided the people of Kampala with some sounding happiness over her death. Those who express happiness accuse Ms Anne Mugisha of betraying opposition in favour of UN job.

However, sources in Somalia have told us that the news about Anne Mugisha’s death is false. We have just established that Ann Mugisha is unhurt and was not near the scene of the bomb that killed a dozen people in Mogadishu yesterday.

This was confirmed by the UPDF commander of land forces  LT.General Katumba wamala while speaking to journalists in Kampala.

Katumba wamala said that the capture of mogadishu is a stepping stone for stabilization of the entire Somalia.

He says that the rebels were seriously hit and they will take some time to regroup in Mogadishu since they lost control of the capital’s Bakara market, nerve-centre of their Mogadishu operations which has been  a crucial source of revenue.

Gen. Wamala said that now the Al-Shabaab has remained with only 10% of the capital while the AMISON has a control of 90% of Mogadishu .

He called for more African peace keepers to be taken to Somalia because the number of the current peace keepers from Burundi and Uganda is not enough to deal with Al-Shabaab.

Although many African Union member states had pledged to contribute troops to the African Union Peace Keeping Mission in Somalia, only Uganda and Rwanda have committed troops to the volatile eastern African nation.
