STORY: AMISOM staff reflect on the successes of the

mission, at an end of year gathering in Mogadishu
MOGADISHU - Staff of the African Union Mission in Somalia
(AMISOM) gathered in the Somali capital Mogadishu last evening, to
reflect on the milestones achieved by the mission to date.
The end of year ceremony was presided over by Hon. Lydia
Wanyoto, the Deputy Special Representative of the Chairperson of
the African Union Commission (DSRCC) for Somalia.
Security is good and we are delivering our mandate of securing
Somalia, the DSRCC told staff.
In an event attended by AMISOM Force Commander Lt. Gen. Osman
Noor Soubagleh, the staff looked back a decade since AMISOM first
deployed in Somalia. The mission will be marking 10 years in the
country, in March 2017.
The successes of the Mission have culminated in Somalias first
indirect electoral process in over four decades. The electoral
exercise is being held under relative peace and stability, as the
country prepares to elect a new president in January 2017.
Your continued efforts to defeat Al-Shabaab have not come
unnoticed. I sincerely appreciate and I want to thank you for your
sacrifice and those of your families in the support of the AMISOM
mission, Lt. Gen. Soubagleh said in his remarks.
There is plenty of work to be done this coming year. Your combined
efforts will open the books of history, he added.
