The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) handed over the Mirtugo forward operating base (FOB) to Somali National Army (SNA).
The handing-over ceremony took place on Thursday.
ATMIS’ Burundian contingent has been in charge of the Mirtugo FOB all along.
The handing-over will take place as part of the drawdown of 2,000 ATMIS troops scheduled to be undertaken by the end of June 2023.
ATMIS already handed over another FOB earlier this week.
