A sick elderly woman lies on a mat inside a tent where Ugandan soldiers and doctors serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) were providing free medical check-ups and treatment in the Kaaran district of the Somali capital Mogadishu. The free medical care and distribution of mosquito nets were part of a week-long programme called Tarehe Sita - Swahili for 6 February - which is the commemorative date that the Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF) was formed. This year marks 31 years since the UPDF's creation, which currently has around 6,500 personnel serving with AMISOM in Somalia. AU-UN IST PHOTO / STUART PRICE.
