Kampala/Hoima (Daily Monitor) - Another 23 UPDF soldiers deployed in Somalia have been flown to Kenya for treatment after contracting the illness that hit the army last week.

Defence and army spokesman Lt. Col. Felix Kulayigye said the soldiers have been flown to Nairobi International Hospital for treatment.

“We are awaiting to see how best they will recover,” Lt. Col. Kulayigye told Sunday Monitor on phone on Friday.

He said the soldiers were evacuated to Kenya on Friday morning, after developing symptoms similar to those presented by 17 other soldiers who were admitted in critical condition.
“The seventeen soldiers who have been on treatment in Kenya are now stable” he said.
