Uganda Pledges 1,200 Troops as Burundi Eyes Gaza Force
Uganda has approved roughly 1,200 personnel for a proposed international security mission in Gaza, while Burundi is still considering participation, according to Africanews. The move gives the planned force a broader international base, but it remains short of its intended scale of about 20,000 troops. The deployment is also tied to a wider U.S.-backed effort to stabilize Gaza after the ceasefire.
