“No! Certainly not! We haven’t got the facilities. We are struggling to improve the conditions of our army here. Sending them there is a big assignment which perhaps with our commitment of development at home, it will be difficult,” President Banda said. The Zambian leader condemned the terrorist bombings in Kampala that killed at least 76 people a fortnight ago.

It is very important to stand by each other when there are such problems, he said.

“Naturally, I think we should all be concerned when such things are happening. It’s not a good thing,” said President Banda.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said many of those behind the Kampala attacks have been arrested and “interrogations have yielded very good information.” The two bombings were meant to bully Uganda into pulling out of the AU mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the last thing standing between al Shabaab and total power.
