The African Union Transitional Mission in Somalia (ATMS) reaffirmed its commitment to support the ongoing Somali-led military offensive against Al-Shabaab militants to ensure peace and security in the country before its exit in December 2024.
"Our goal and all stakeholders in this mission is to see a safer, more stable and prosperous Somalia that is at peace with itself and with the rest of the world," said the mission's force commander, General Sam Okeding.
Okeding pointed out that the focus is on strengthening the capabilities of the Somali security forces to assume security responsibilities for the country, with Atamis gradually withdrawing its forces.
He praised the Atmis forces for carrying out joint military operations with the Special Security Forces in the Galgadud region after their success in defeating the Al-Shabaab movement in the governorates of Lower Juba, Lower Shabelle, Hiran and Middle Shabelle.
