AMISOM has handed over the control and management of Warsheikh Forward Operating Base to the Somali Security Forces as stipulated by the Somalia Transition Plan that dictates AMISOM’s exit from Somalia.
AMISOM managed and maintained security in Warsheikh Forward Operating Base and surrounding areas for the past five years. Warsheikh Forward Operating Base (FOB), which was a base for the Burundi National Defense Force (BNDF) since 2014, was handed over to HirShabelle Police Commissioner.
The Somalia Transition Plan is a comprehensive guide to transfer security responsibility to Somali National Security Forces ahead of AMISOM’s anticipated exit in 2021. It’s very crucial to the plan as the African troops hand transfer the security responsibility to the Federal Government.
