    Exiting Somalia’s War
    MOGADISHU, SOMALIA - APRIL 21: Soldiers from the Somali National Army ride in a convoy as part of a security escort on April 21, 2025 in Mogadishu, Somalia. There are concerns of a jihadist resurgence in Somalia amid growing attacks by the militant group Al-Shabaab, which has been fighting the government for nearly two decades and controls swathes of the southern and central parts of the country. Last week, Al-Shabaab fighters raided the strategically important town of Adan Yabaal, north of Mogadishu, prompting a U.S.-backed airstrike on the militants. Besides the United States, Somali also has support from other international partners, including the African Union's new Stabilization and Support mission in Somalia, known as AUSSOM. But there is uncertainty about the future of AUSSOM's mandate after the U.S. recently objected to a United Nations proposal for funding the mission.
