Somalia says it no longer trusts Ethiopia to be a part of future peacekeeping missions, stopping short of declaring that cooperation with Addis Ababa over al-Shabaab has ended.
In a statement on Wednesday, Somalia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it would pick which countries would contribute troops to the new mission, the African Union Stabilisation and Support Mission (Aussom), which is due to take over from the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (Atmis) from January next year.
