The Inspector General of Police, Gen. Kale Kayihura has called for cooperation between Uganda and Somali Police Forces.

He pointed out that such cooperation would help address the terrorism threat posed by Al-qaeda linked Al-shabaab and Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) Forces.

Kayihura was on Monday briefing journalists after meeting with the visiting Commissioner of the Somali National Police (SNP) Brig. Gen. Abdihakim Dahir who is on a three-day visit to Uganda.

Saeed was accompanied by Said Kadie who is the Somali director of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the AMISOM police Commissioner Benson Oyo Nyeko.

Kayihura said his Somali counterpart is visiting to explore with the Uganda Police on how the two institutions can deepen bilateral cooperation and partnership in keeping law and order between Somalia and Uganda.
