The envoy on Wednesday also advised Uganda to “not simply destroy terrorists” but the very environment that breeds “extremism.” He called on Uganda to do so by propping the Somali transitional government and to continue working in Somalia.
Amb. Shishkin was speaking during the launch of the Advocacy for Violence Free Election 2011 campaign in Kampala. “The most reliable guarantee is that Uganda will no longer be an object for terrorist attacks, such as those that occurred on July 11,” he said.

“Our view is to assist the transitional federal government in Somalia and the continuation of the Somalia settlement,” Amb Shishkin added. He said Uganda and Russia have both suffered terrorism attacks and in this respect, Russian President Demitry Medvdev expressed his condolences to President Museveni over the bomb attacks that killed 76 people.
The al- Qaeda -linked group, al Shabaab, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
