“He traveled back to Uganda on Friday 3rd September 2021 aboard an SN Brussels flight from Frankfurt to Entebbe. His travel expenses and related costs were met by the Embassy of the Republic of Uganda in Berlin – Germany,” Bagiire said.

Bagiire reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to assist evacuate any Ugandan Nationals stranded in Afghanistan who wish to return home.

Recalling his experience in Kabul during the unrest and takeover, Wamala thanked both Governments of Uganda and the United States of America for all the assistance accorded to safely evacuate him from Kabul, Afghanistan to Berlin, Germany.

Wamala joins (13) thirteen other Ugandans who had been evacuated earlier some of whom are yet to return home.

Last month, the Minister of State in Charge of Regional Affairs, John Mulimba revealed that government was aware of only 17 Ugandans who had officially traveled to and working in Afaghanistan.

“Government can only know those who traveled officially and they are 17, the 10 were working with the British High Commission agencies and the seven working with the Americans,” Mulumba said.

He explained that the 10 who were working with the British High Commission had earlier been evacuated by the British government and were already in London while five of those working with the Americans objected to being evacuated on grounds that they were safe.
