ウガンダ兵2名死刑、3名は収監39年

BBC Two Ugandan soldiers sentenced to death in Somalia 15 Nov 2021

　この8月に、戦闘中に不法に民間人を7名殺害したというので罪に問われたもの。

「Five Ugandan soldiers serving with African Union troops in Somalia have been found guilty of killing seven civilians there in August.

Two of the soldiers have been sentenced to death, while three others have been given 39-year prison sentences.

The three will be repatriated to Uganda to serve their sentences there.」

「The civilians were unlawfully killed during a gun battle in Golweyn between its troops and al-Shabab militants, the AU says.

The AU's Amisom force has been in Somalia for 14 years.」

　AMISOMはもう14年も仕事をしている。そして仕事は終わっておらず、ざっと2万名規模のAMISOMの、約1/3を占めるウガンダ軍の、これは結構な失態であった。

「Almost a third of Amisom's 20,000 troops are from Uganda - making it the biggest national contingent.」

　AMISOMをさらに延長せねばならぬところ、そんなタイミングでの不祥事だったようで。
　…適切なお裁きは、まあその、AMISOMが続くかどうかにかかわらず有用なものであろうと思う。
