The United Nations (UN) is reconsidering redeploying in the once war torn Somalia following the return of relative peace there, state minister for defence Gen. Jeje Odong said Wednesday.

The redeployment of the international body, Odong said, is to pave way for the redevelopment of the strife torn country following the six-year exploits of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) which has seen relative peace return to the Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia.

Speaking at a stake holder’s two-day workshop for troop and police contributing countries under AMISOM, Odong hailed the AU for the returning peace to Somalia.

“As if these achievements are not enough the UN is reconsidering redeploying in Somalia and this is as a result of the good work of the AU forces there,” Odong who was the chief guest said at the Golf Course hotel in Kampala said.
