The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) is a former African Union transition and drawdown mission from peacekeeping operations in Somalia. Formerly the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM), which began in 2007 and operated until 2022, the goal of ATMIS was to fully transition security operations to the Somali National Armed Forces.[3] The operation consisted of troops from the East African nations of Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Djibouti, and Uganda.[4]
ATMIS transitioned into the AU Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) at the start of 2025.[5][6] Financial constraints and rising tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia during late 2024 have complicated the transition.[7]
