Authors: Ted Dagne and Hannah Reeves, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: In late October 2007, President Museveni visited Washington, D.C. and met with President Bush and other senior administration officials. President Museveni also met with several Members of Congress. During his visit, President Museveni discussed a wide range of issues, including U.S.-Uganda relations, the crises in Somalia and Darfur, trade, and HIV/AIDS. Uganda deployed an estimated 1,800 peacekeeping troops to Somalia, shortly after Ethiopian forces invaded Mogadishu and installed the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). Ugandan forces have not been a major target of the insurgents in Mogadishu, although a number of Ugandan peacekeepers have been killed over the past several months.
