Mogadishu (HOL) — Egypt is preparing to send troops to Somalia as part of the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), set to replace the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) in early 2025. While the deployment reflects Egypt’s growing commitment to stabilizing the region, it also intensifies tensions with Ethiopia, threatening to overshadow the mission’s goals.
