Uganda: 15 Peacekeepers Suspended - NYTimes.com Uganda's military has suspended 15 soldiers who were peacekeepers in Somalia over various allegations of misconduct, a military spokesman said Thursday. The suspended soldiers include two generals who were deployed to Somalia as part of the African Union force. The spokesman said the action was part of what he called "a general performance assessment" of Uganda's peacekeeping duties in Somalia. The suspensions follow a Human Rights Watch report in September that cited the sexual abuse and exploitation of Somali women by African Union troops in Somalia.
