The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is an active, regional peacekeeping mission operated by the African Union with the approval of the United Nations in Somalia. It is mandated to support transitional governmental structures, implement a national security plan, train the Somali security forces, and to assist in creating a secure environment for the delivery of humanitarian aid. As part of its duties, AMISOM also supports the Federal Government of Somalia's forces in their battle against Al-Shabaab militants.
AMISOM was created by the African Union's Peace and Security Council on 19 January 2007 with an initial six-month mandate. On 21 February 2007 the United Nations Security Council approved the mission's mandate. Subsequent six-monthly renewals of AMISOM's mandate by the African Union Peace and Security Council have also been authorised by the United Nations Security Council.
The duration of AMISOM's mandate has been extended in each period that it has been up for review, lastly in October 2014. The current mandate expires on 30 November 2015. Until that time its maximum allowed strength is 22,126 troops.
Somalia has been ravaged by 20 years of civil war. Widely publicised atrocities prompted the US government to step in to restore order, it was a disaster. If the most powerful country of all had failed, who could possibly bring peace to Mogadishu? AMISOM: an African solution to an African problem.
The AMISOM Frontline series tells the story of African Union troops as they undertake a stabilization mission in Somalia. These films depict the range of challenges faced by the AMISOM soldiers on a daily basis, and covey the message that this mission is a much more diverse undertaking than many understand it to be.
