Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... forces in Somalia (AMISOM) were reported to have engaged in a fierce shootout with Al shabaab murderous Moslems in Lower Shabelle region. The skirmish happened in the vicinity of No. 50 area, when armed fighters belonging to Al shabaab tried to storm an army outpost manned by Burundian soldiers serving with AMISOM.
