EU seeks ‘fair’ burden sharing in Somalia peace mission
African Union peacekeepers in Mogadishu, Somalia. The European Union wants the international community to follow through on a recent UN resolution that could allow Aussom to tap UN funding.
The European Union wants a fair sharing of burdens in funding peacekeeping missions in Somalia.
Since January, Somalia has had the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (Aussom), endorsed by the UN Security Council to serve as the African Union's new mission with a stabilisation mandate. It succeeded the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (Atmis), which lasted between 2022 and 2024, having taken over from the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom).
