Launched in 2007 to fight the Islamist insurgents of Al Shabaab, the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) is being torn apart as its host pushes back against regional and international demands for reform. President Mohammed Abdullah Mohammed 'Farmajo' wants the Amisom mandate to end on 22 March, when its current UN Security Council mandate expires.
