1/ Uganda has started pulling its troops out of Somalia. On 29 October, army chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted: “As we promised, we have started withdrawing UPDF from Somalia.” #NalaWeekly Issue No. 05 looked at what Uganda’s exit could mean. 🧵

6/ South Sudan: In Pretoria, President Ramaphosa urged Kiir to fully implement the R-ARCSS and pledged support for the 22 December polls. With the SPLM-IO still boycotting, will that support make the vote credible, or only possible?

5/ Red Sea: A Houthi missile struck Riyadh's King Khalid airport, killing 12 people, according to Saudi authorities, as fighting continued along the Bab el-Mandeb coast. For the Horn of Africa, safe passage through the strait is an economic lifeline.

4/ Somalia: The dispute over President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's mandate reached the streets of Mogadishu, as NISA accused former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed's guards of attacking its forces, a claim he denies. A reported Ethiopian drawdown looms over Baidoa.

3/ Sudan: Drone and air strikes near the Ethiopian and Egyptian borders killed scores of civilians as the army chief ruled out talks. The UN Security Council could only extend the Darfur arms embargo to 11 December. We argue drones should now be the priority.
