The United Nations has reportedly suspended “all non-critical external missions/visits” to Uganda, citing security concerns.
In a December 12 internal memo to UN agencies and personnel, the Under-Secretary General for Safety and Security, Mr Gilles Michaud, noted that he had endorsed recommendations by Ms Rosa Malango, the UN Resident Coordinator in Uganda, advising freeze travel to Uganda.
“The suspension will be lifted based on a revised security risk management process,” the memo by Mr Michaud reads in part.
