| The United Nations approval of the troop surge in Somalia will help the African UnionÂ’s goal of defeating hard line Islamic group al-Shabab in East Africa, according to Erastus Mwencha, the AUÂ’s deputy chairman. He said the strengthening of African Union troops (AMISOM) and support for the Somalia national army will make it possible to intensify the military campaign against the militants and expand the authority of the Somalia government. It will also facilitate the political process, which will culminate in the adoption of a federal constitution and the holding of elections |
