Uganda, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Monday welcomed the U. S. arms support to Somalia and urged other countries to help stabilize the war-torn country. Museveni told reporters here that he had held talks with some American officials on provision of support to the UN backed Somali transitional government. "Any member of the UN is free to give support and should have done so earlier than now," he said. The United States last week confirmed that it had sent weapons to Somali following an urgent call for military help from the transitional government. Uganda's troops make up the bulk of the African Union (AU) peace keeping force deployed in the Somali capital Mogadishu, where Islamic militants have increased their attacks on the government. ..more..http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-06/30/content_11623392.htm
