The newly formed African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) has announced plans to conduct a security exercise at Halane Base Camp.
ATMIS’ headquarters are at Halane Base Camp, which is in Mogadishu.
The security exercise is scheduled for April 10-16.
While announcing this, ATMIS also informed the public and traders at Halane Base Camp of their intention to keep the facility under total lockdown from Sunday to Saturday.
Consequently, all construction works at the Base Camp have to stop for the duration.
All forms of business at the Base Camp will only resume from April 17.
Nevertheless, ATMIS would allow personnel who provide critical services and operations to access the facility and proceed with their work.
