4. WE CONDEMN the terrorist attacks on Ugandan territory at the Rugby Club and Ethiopian Restaurant in Kampala by the al Shabaab that occurred on 11th July 2010 during the finals of the first ever World Cup to be held on the African Continent that wrought devastating effects on Ugandan society; and stand in solidarity with our Ugandan brothers and sisters at this difficult time.
5. WE SALUTE AND COMMEND the African leaders, who during the AU Summit held at the Commonwealth Speke Resort Munyonyo in Uganda from 19th to 27th July 2010 took resolute measures to re-establish good governance, rule of law, peace and political stability in Somalia, and call upon more African countries to get involved in resolving the stalemate in Somalia.
