At least 54 African Union peacekeepers were killed when militants attacked a base housing Ugandan units in Somalia last week, the Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, said.
“We discovered the lifeless bodies of 54 fallen soldiers, including a commander,” Museveni said in a statement posted on his official Twitter account late on Saturday.
