why uganda now? >> well, uganda for a couple of reasons. the most important one of them is the fact that there are a significant number of ugandan troops inside somalia particularly in mogadishu and its surrounding. they are the leading edge in this organization of african troops from the a.u., burundi also has a significant number that have been sent there essentially to support the transitional federal authority. and the tragedy is that the transitional federal authority is not only a rather ill lee lit jat mao frighteningly incompetent. the somali people are now caught up on one side on of the shabaab that is cruel and puritanical and by the federal government that cannot do anything at all and sustained therefore by ugandan and burundian troops in the neighborhood that the transitional leadership is now leading. >> ifill: these countries if they were to pull their support troop troops from somalia, which would what's left of the government simply fall aapart? >> i think so. the government has no presence anywhere in the somali society.
