In this episode of The East African Perspective, Thomas and I take on the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and its role in the region. We look at the UPDF not only as Uganda’s army but as a force active in Congo, Somalia, South Sudan, and beyond.
We talk about the GERD dam dispute between Ethiopia and Egypt, the stubborn insurgency of the ADF, and the layers of foreign involvement in Somalia. We also ask if military deployments alone are enough, or if East Africa needs new models of governance once the guns fall silent.
This is part one of the conversation. It is us laying the ground before we host the UPDF spokesperson in part two. If you want a clear, policy-driven take on security and geopolitics in East Africa, this episode is worth your time.
