UN Security Council Votes Unanimously For New Somalia Peacekeeping Force
The UN Security Council on Thursday voted unanimously for a new African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia, where Al-Shabaab insurgents have been seeking to overthrow the fragile government for more than a decade.
The current African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is composed of 20,000 soldiers, police and civilians helping local authorities fight against the jihadist insurgents.
Its mandate was due to expire Thursday, and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres recommended early this month maintaining the force level until the end of the year.
The new mission will work to enable Somali forces to take primary responsibility for security.
