| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since 2007, the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has been fighting a violent campaign to reclaim territory held by jihadist militants known as al-Shabaab. Military successes, including the liberation of a number of Somali cities from the insurgent group’s control, have generated considerable optimism that al-Shabaab is on the decline. |
