No Ugandan troops had arrived in Gaza before August 21, 2026. Uganda's parliament voted on August 6, 2026, to authorize deployment of Uganda People's Defence Forces personnel to the U.S.-backed International Stabilization Force for Gaza, joining Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Indonesia, and Albania as contributing nations to the roughly 20,000-strong force proposed by the Trump administration's Board of Peace. The parliamentary vote approved deployment "in principle," but the size, timetable, and command structure of Uganda's contingent had not been finalized, and no movement of troops to Gaza followed in the two weeks before the question resolved. The stabilization force, to be led by U.S. Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, was still being assembled from multiple contributing countries, a process that typically takes additional weeks after legislative authorization before troops actually deploy on the ground. The sole recorded community vote predicted a 100% Yes outcome, which did not match reality: troops were authorized in principle but had not arrived by the resolution date.
