The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (Atmiss) is reeling from the aftermath of Tuesday’s al-Shabaab attack in which 10 Burundian soldiers operating in Sector III were killed and several others wounded.

The attack happened in the same week that the US Africa Command (Africom) claimed there have been no civilian deaths from their drone strikes in Somalia.
