AU Security Council proposes one extension for AMISOM

[BetterDaysAhead]

ADDIS ABABA (HOL) - The African Union has proposed a one-year term extension for its continental military force in Somalia.

Peace and Security Council Commissioner Smail Chergui this week told the Council it was imperative to continue AMISOM’s stay in Somalia to guard gains made thus far.

“We must guard jealously the hard-worn achievements in Somalia. Many Somalis, AMISOM and other bilateral partners have sacrificed their lives in the quest to make Somalis enjoy the peace which has been robbed from them over the last 30 years,” said Chergui.

The Commissioner said the achievements must not be allowed to go to waste and called for concerted support from international partners noting the need ‘to continue with a smooth, respectful and honorable transition.’

“It is for these reasons that the Commission recommends a one year extension of AMISOMs mandate, at its current strength.”

The UN Security Council is expected to deliberate the fate of AMISOM stay this month with a possible extension.

The Council has set 2021 as a timeline for significant troops withdrawal from Somalia to allow Somali Security Forces to take charge after over 10 years stay.

A further 1,000 AMISOM troops left Somalia in February bringing to 19,000 the number of AU forces in the country.

Fam what does AMISOM even do nowadays ?

They are holding the country together, the SNA is not nearly ready yet to assume control.

With the fight against Shabaab, it almost feels like the FGS is delaying the inevitable at this point.

The creation of a neutral SNA from across the country is the only way to actually defeat Shabaab.

They need to stay much longer

Xamar will slip back into anarchy if Amisom don’t peacekeep

They will go 2021 guys. The EU cut the budget. Just accept it.

No more raping, no more free loading, no more slow walking somalia because they don't want us to move forward.

The SNA will have to prove themselves in the next year. Also shabaab have been put on notice lately, since the US have been pressured into competition with china and russia for our resources. No they either help us properly or we move on to turkey or china.

Besides whether it scares you or not. The EU will not fund them. Our AU brothers are not going to risk their lives for no payment for somalis they don't care about.

Have Somalis lost all their honour? I am appalled by all these pitiful comments begging for these occupiers to stay. You call them "afrikaan", "sangaruri", "Madow", "adoon", etc behind their backs. But to their face you beg them to stay longer knowing full well while occupying your land, they can get away with whatever including mistreating your brethren, and raping your women. SHAMEFUL and your awowes and ayeeyos would say the same!

They are occupiers. May Allah humiliate them

The minute Amison leaves Faarmaajo will be kicked out of Mogdishu to his native land Gedo just like his Aabo Siyad,it is in his interest to keep them and Ethiopians still occupy the South, at this point the South is a foreign occupied colony and they will keep extending their mandate untill Qiyamaha.

Farmaajo would most certainly end up like Gadaffi once Amisom are booted out.
