African Union Mission in Somalia

The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is a peacekeeping operation launched in 2007 to support Somalia in establishing stability, security, and political progress. Comprising troops from African countries, AMISOM helps Somali institutions fight militant groups like Al-Shabaab, assist in restoring law and order, and facilitate humanitarian aid delivery. Its goal is to create a peaceful environment for the Somali government to rebuild the nation, improve safety for civilians, and promote long-term development. The mission works closely with the United Nations and Somali authorities to achieve these objectives.
