The police unit of the Somali National Army (SNA) has taken over control of the Arbacow forward operating base (FOB).
SNA’s police component is now in charge of the FOB.
Formerly, the Arbacow FOB, which is in Mogadishu, has been in the hands of the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS).
Lately, ATMIS has been handing over several FOBs around the country to the Somali military.
This is part of the plans by ATMIS to reduce its troops in the East African nation by as much as 2,000 forces as of the end of June 2023.
