Uganda announced it intends to establish local militia forces to help stop cross border raid along the Sudan and Kenya borders. Ultimately, Uganda plans to create 292 militia units that would provide local defense and be able to reinforce Ugandan Army detachments. (The size of the units appears to vary widely, though one report said some of the units may have as many as 140 militiamen assigned to them.)
