[HIGHLIGHTS] Withdrawal of 3,000 African soldiers from Somalia

Withdrawal of 3,000 African soldiers from Somalia. Under a UN timetable, the African Union Transitional Mission will withdraw completely by the end of the year, handing over responsibility to Somali security forces.

14,600 members from Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda are still deployed in Somalia. It is noteworthy that in April 2022, the Security Council agreed that Atmis would replace the African UN Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), which was formed in 2007.
