Ugandans attracted to Iraq security jobs  
 

Uganda's long history of conflict has turned large numbers of former soldiers into a skilled pool of workers for security firms looking to hire guards to work in Iraq.

In the beginning, those who secured jobs in Iraq would earn $1,200 a month.
Salaries have since dropped to $450 but Ugandans eager to escape unemployment are still seizing the opportunity, as Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons reports from Kampala.
