The statement reads: “The Ugandan government wishes to inform the Somali government that if any harm befalls Ugandan citizens or interests in Somalia, the Ugandan military will be compelled to take action.”
The warning comes after a recent escalation in tensions between the two nations, with Uganda accusing Somalia of failing to take sufficient action to address the threat of Al-Shabaab.
The Ugandan military has already begun deploying forces to the region.
