El Hadji Ibrahima Diene, the head of the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), sat down with European Union Ambassador to Somalia Francesca Di Mauro in Mogadishu this Monday. The meeting brought together two of the most consequential international players in Somalia's ongoing peace process.
Their conversation centered on efforts to strengthen peace, security, and stability across the Horn of Africa nation. Somalia remains one of the most closely watched security situations on the continent, with both the African Union and the EU deeply invested in its trajectory.
Details on specific agreements or next steps from the meeting have not yet been disclosed, but the fact that these two figures met at this moment signals that coordination between AUSSOM and European partners is very much active. Watch this space.
