ABAYOMI AZIKIWE: AMISOM has repeatedly said that Al-Shabaab is no longer
a serious security threat in the capital of Mogadishu. However,
periodic attacks are still occurring attributed to Al-Shabaab. A twin
bomb attack during late 2017 was the most deadly since the deployment of
AMISOM resulting in over 500 deaths, although it remains unclear
whether Al-Shabaab was behind the operation.
