The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has recently increased its forces in Belet Weyne, some 300 kilometres northwest of capital Mogadishu, with a sizeable addition of Djiboutian troops.
In Belet Weyne, a former member of a pro-government militia group prepares to conduct a mock mine sweep, as part of a technical and tactical training course organized by the Djiboutian contingent.
