The Ugandan military on Thursday said a court martial temporarily sitting in Mogadishu, Somalia, has begun the trial of two of its senior army officers accused of "cowardice" following the deadly attack on peacekeepers by the militant group Al Shabaab in Somalia in May.
The General Court Martial (GCM) chaired by Brig Gen Robert Mugabe is trying Maj Steven Oluka and Maj Zadock Obor, commanding officers of two military bases in southwest Somalia over two counts of cowardice after an Al Shabaab attack that left 54 peacekeepers killed, said the military in a statement issued in Kampala, the capital of Uganda.
