ATMIS forces (African Union Transition Mission in Somalia) prevented a potential security breach at Mogadishu Airport. They apprehended a young boy disguised as a girl who attempted to enter the airport with suspicious metal objects.
Commander Lukwago of ATMIS Sector One praised the vigilance of his troops for identifying the suspect. He confirmed the suspect was handed over to Somali National Security for further investigation.
This isn’t an isolated incident. ATMIS has previously thwarted Al-Shabaab attempts:
Commander Lukwago assures the public that ATMIS remains vigilant and has successfully handled similar situations. Ugandan ATMIS troops, responsible for securing Mogadishu and key government installations, remain on high alert.
Despite heightened security during Ramadan, no major attacks were reported thanks to ATMIS efforts.
