Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has spoken on the early Friday morning raid at a military base in Somalia, revealing details why Al Shabaab managed to overrun the facility manned by up to 200 Ugandan troops.

The militants attacked the base of the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (Atmis) at Buulo Mareer, Lower Shabelle, on May 26, killing scores of Ugandan soldiers and destroying military equipment.
