AMISOM Exit Strategy from Somalia

The Heritage Institute for Policy Studies published in February 2016 a paper titled "Exit Strategy Challenges for the AU Mission in Somalia" by Paul D. Williams, George Washington University, and Abdirashid Hashi, executive director of the Heritage Institute for Policy Studies.

The authors argue that a successful AMISOM exit strategy involves two interrelated transitions: first, a transition from operations led by foreign forces to Somali-led operations; and, second, a transition from military-led operations to police-led operations.
