The African Union's Experience in Somalia: Lessons for the UN

The International Peace Institute published in May 2016 a report titled "The Surge to Stabilize: Lessons for the UN from the AU's Experience in Somalia" by Walter Lotze, Centre for International Peace Operations, and Paul Williams, George Washington University.

The report focuses on AMISOM's move from war-fighting to stabilization, challenges faced by AMISOM in this progression, its strategy for dealing with al-Shabaab, and lessons learned.
