The United States is ready to continue supporting the ongoing war on Al-Shabaab in Somalia.
This emerged during a meeting between President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Lloyd Austin.
President Mohamud of Somalia is currently in the US for a series of meetings.
He was in talks with Austin, the US Secretary of Defense.
The pledge by the US is timely.
It comes at a time Somalia seeks to take over security matters from ATMIS.
Austin commanded the current phase of the ongoing offensive against militia.
