Alhamdullilah. But wasn’t there some new agreement for new African troops that are not atmis made by HSM to re-enter Somalia ?

I don’t have the article handy right now, however I’m sure that this was in the politics section a few months ago.

The departure of foreign forces is always a great development. Hopefully, the local guards and other forces can maintain the city secure.

Mogadishu – Top officials of the United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS), the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and the Federal Government of Somalia have announced the resumption of the second phase of the drawdown of the AU peacekeeping forces from Somalia by 31 December 2023.

As mandated by the UN Security Council Resolution 2710, ATMIS will now withdraw a further 3,000 troops from Somalia and hand over ten Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) by the end of this December. The process which was initially scheduled to conclude by the end of September, was halted following a request for a technical pause by the Federal Government. Two FOBs, Biocadale and Ragaceel, had already been handed over in September and October respectively.

The Head of UNSOS Ms. Aisa Kirabo Kacyira, alongside the Head of ATMIS, Amb. Mohamed El-Amine Souef and Somalia’s National Security Advisor, Hussein Sheikh Ali, made the announcement during a joint media briefing at Villa Somalia- the seat of the Presidency - in Mogadishu.

“I am honoured to be part of this historical moment. The transition and drawdown we are continuing to do is a consequence of successful collaboration and work. I commend the Federal Government, the President and his team with whom we have worked very closely for having made this to happen even against the tide of El-Nino,” said Ms. Kacyira.

“I also thank the Head of ATMIS, Amb. Souef and his team with whom we have worked closely not only at strategic political level but more importantly at the operational level,” she added.

On his part Amb. Souef said following the technical pause in September, ATMIS, FGS and UNSOS have since put in place measures to resume the process as mandated by the UN Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council.

“After a couple of meetings at the tripartite technical level, we came to the conclusion that we have taken into consideration the African Union Communique and the UN Security Council resolution for the implementation of phase two of the drawdown. The deadline is 31 of December this year, so after consultations and discussions, all measures have been taken and the drawdown will take place by 31 December,” Amb. Souef declared.

Hussein Sheikh Ali, Somalia’s National Security Advisor, reaffirmed the FGS’ commitment to respect the set timelines affirming that the Somali security forces (SSF) are ready to take over the remaining eight (8) Forward Operating Bases when ATMIS troops withdraw.

“We wish to clarify that the security transition process is alive, and the Somalia government is committed to see it through, the international community is also committed to see it through and to ensure the government takes over security responsibilities of the country by December 2024,” reiterated the National Security Advisor.

Dr, Kacyira assured the government and the people of Somalia of UNSOS’ continued support to ensure a successful transition.

“I want to assure you that we are ready to continue supporting the transition, and the drawdown to fulfil the mandate given by the UN Security Council and together with that to continue supporting logistically with operations because we know that even with the drawdown, there are other operations going on,”

In the first phase of the drawdown concluded in June, ATMIS withdrew 2000 troops and handed over seven (7) Forward Operating Bases to the Somali National Army in a gradual transfer of security responsibilities as mandated by UN Security Council Resolutions 2687 and 2670.

During the handover of FOBs, UNSOS donated UN owned equipment and facilities to the Somali National Army (SNA) including solar panels, water storage and treatment plants, accommodation facilities and generators among others. UNSOS conducted capacity building trainings for SNA personnel on the operation and maintenance of the equipment and plants.

The UN logistical support body also facilitated the movement of troops and heavy equipment and the repatriation of troops to their home countries.

The AU peacekeeping mission is expected to withdraw a further 4000 troops by June 2024 ahead of the final exit in December.

Kenya, Ethiopia and Djbouti but they won't be anywhere near Xamar or the 2 Shabelles if they do enter. They seem unwilling tbh as they will have to fund themselves from what I've heard. FGS said in the first 6 months those troops entry was imminent and would help the sna in the offensive against shabab. A general was named to lead them. Nothing came of it but things may change as the drawdown continues.

Good news, the day the last ATMIS soldier leaves Somalia will destroy AS ideology of fighting against foreigners.

Not really, they consider the government "gaalo raac" / apostates. I don't see it making a huge difference. These are ppl who justify the murder of a tea lady for selling tea to govt soldiers.

Do you think the retard above would let amisom leave Villa Somalia? The man who flew to Congo to meet with the then AU chair for extra numbers and tightened security around Villa Somalia after he missed the feb8 election deadline

With what money, ATMIS and AMISOm were 100% funded by the west who are now closing down this money drain. You guys really think these countries have the lacag to maintain troops in Somalia?

Critical thinking is needed here.

What little military support they gave was outweighed by the loss of political support.

According to Kampala based journalist JULIUS BARIGABA that wrote the article from the ‘east African’ which is a publication of the Nation. His story detailed Hassan Sheikh Mohammed’s wish for atmis drawdown.

“President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud wants the force to stay beyond its December 31 2024 exit date”

“President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is right,” Brig-Gen Kulayigye said



don’t take me as spiteful. I don’t want this to be true, but even you can see how fond HSM is of his East African neighbors (kenya, Uganda, etc) It could be a possibility that he wants to help his allies out by letting them collect more money from the EU.

Good news. 4k out of 5k AMISOM troops left Middle Shabelle region this year too.
