JUST IN: UN Security Council Approves New Peacekeeping Force In Somalia
On Thursday, the UN Security Council voted unanimously, to create a new African Union-led peacekeeping force in Somalia.
The new mission, Atmis, replaces the current mission of nearly 20,000 military, police and civilians that will be gradually reduced to zero by the end of 2024.
The purpose of the new mission is to continue the fight against Shebab jihadists.
The US Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Richard Mills, described Shebab extremists as “representing a formidable and adaptable threat to Somalia and East Africa more broadly”.
