President Yoweri K Museveni has appointed Maj Gen Richard Otto as the new Commander of Mountain Division Operation Shuuja.
He replaces Maj Gen Dick Olum who is headed to the South Sudan Stabilisation Mechanism.
In November 2021, Uganda and DR Congo signed a Memorandum of Understanding to conduct a joint military operation code-named “Operation Shujaa” against the ADF in Eastern DR Congo following escalated attacks by the rebels in both countries in 2021.
