Mission Somalia: Egypt & Djibouti’s Strategic Entry into Peacekeeping

Somalia is entering a decisive security transition—and regional powers are moving fast to shape the outcome. Mission Somalia is a Military Intelligence Report that unpacks the shift from ATMIS to the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), backed decisively by Egypt and Djibouti.

This report explains why Egypt’s return to Somalia after three decades is strategically significant, how Djibouti’s role strengthens regional force projection, and what the potential reduction of Ethiopian troops means for security dynamics in the Horn of Africa. It maps AUSSOM’s refined mandate, operational scope, troop realignments, and its focus on countering Al-Shabaab while building Somali security self-reliance.

Beyond peacekeeping, the report analyses the broader geopolitical signals—Egypt’s rivalry with Ethiopia, Red Sea security implications, donor funding challenges, and the long-term viability of AU-led stabilization frameworks. It also assesses risks surrounding funding sustainability, mission transition gaps, and future escalation scenarios.

Built for defence analysts, Africa-focused investors, policymakers, military planners, and geopolitical risk professionals, this intelligence product delivers clarity where narratives are fragmented.

Security transitions shape regions quietly—until they explode into crises. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you stay ahead of these shifts before they become tomorrow’s emergencies.
