Message from the AUC Chairperson

“AMISOM achieved significant gains over the past 15 years in support of the emergence of a capable Somali National Army, a professional Somali Police Force and Federal institutions.

This new adapted mission mandate reflects the evolving situation in the country, and the African Union’s continued commitment to support the sisterly nation of Somalia in its pursuit to restore lasting peace, security, and stability”

~ AU Commission Chairperson, H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat
