Assessing Challenges to AMISOM’s Exit
Hat tip to a SWJ item and this optimistic comment. I note AMISOM has been in place since 2007 and is due to leave in 2021; is it me, but the Somali nation-state seems unchanged in either the will or capacity to succeed?

When terrorists defect
A rare article on defection from Al-Shabab and by a SME on the topic. A sample sentence:Link:https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/03/o...gan/index.htmlThe focus of the program continues to be to win back the hearts and minds of those once thought lost to jihadists and hellbent on unraveling Somalia's social, cultural and political fabric.
If you believe the defectors presented there is some insight into Somalia today.
