This year, the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM), a peacekeeping mission sanctioned by the United Nations, carried out operations against Al Shabaab, and dislodged the militant group from at least two of its major strongholds. Nevertheless, Somalia and AMISOM continue to face challenges which include, liberating other areas from Al Shabaab’s control, and stabilising those areas with development projects and humanitarian support. Concurrently, the country needs to remain extremely vigilant against the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), as it vigorously seeks to gain a stronger foothold in Somalia.
