Æthiopia considering joining AU force in Somalia
[Al Ahram] Æthiopia is considering integrating its troops in Somalia into the bigger UN-backed African Union...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... force amid efforts to boost operations against Al-Qaeda-linked Shabaab rebels, officials said Sunday. Æthiopian troops entered Somalia in November 2011 to support the African Union mission in Saomalia (AMISOM) and local government forces, but has resisted integrating its soldiers into the mission.
