Shocked me with that title balaayo ku cuntay mu ku dhahaa. Of course it's not a full withdrawal as I should've probably guessed - likely that even the 1000 soldiers figure will be further reduced.

African countries have been using the EU funding for AMISOM as a way of paying their soldiers with minimum risks/casualties (we all know these bastards hardly carry out any offensives against the mercenary group known as Al-Shabaab).

Check this article out on how AMISOM is funded, and the changes outlined by the EU that caused an uproar among our Fufu brethren; it's an interesting read:

https://theglobalobservatory.org/2017/01/amisom-african-union-peacekeeping-financing/

"Over the past 18 months, the EU has taken several decisions about how it pays AMISOM allowances, placing a cap on the amount it pays towards those allowances, and adopting measures to reduce its financial risks in case the AU does not comply with the EU’s financial standards. These decisions have contributed to at least three types of controversies related to AMISOM.

First, there have been arguments over the appropriate amount of money that should be provided to AMISOM troops as allowances. These arguments intensified when from January 2016, the EU, which pays for all the allowances for AMISOM troops, reduced its payment by 20%, from $1,028 to $822 per soldier, per month.

Second, there have been complaints by several TCCs over delayed payment of allowances to AMISOM peacekeepers in the field, with some claims of troops going without pay for over a year. The most recent delays involve a dispute over the signing of revised addendums to the memorandums of understanding between the AU and each of the TCCs."

Everyone and their ayeeyo knows that the Fufu Brigade are a containment force, to keep the mercenary dogs inside of Somalia. But the biggest enemies to the Somalis are not the Burundi geezers seeking a pay-check, but the proxy caucasion land of hill-midgets bordering us.
