The discussions are aimed at accelerating ongoing operations against the terrorist groups Al Shabaab and ISIS, while also addressing the future of security in Somalia, the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. The talks are also focusing on the United States’ decision to end its financial support for AUSSOM and the future of AUSSOM forces, which are facing significant funding challenges. Without an alternative source of funding, it may become difficult for the mission to maintain its presence in Somalia. More at the link |
