JAR - The U.N.-backed Transitional Federal Government of President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed controls part of the capital, and AMISOM -- AU troops from Uganda and Burundi -- is fighting to keep two hardline Islamist insurgent groups from taking over the rest.
In a joint statement to field commanders, the chiefs declared that both Burundi and Uganda had committed the additional 4,000 troops mandated by the U.N. in December and that they were already heading for pre-deployment training.
"Each country has pledged a further 2,000 troops and anticipate an efficient deployment around the middle of the year." Burundi has already deployed 1,000 of the 4,000 extra troops in mid March.
AMISOM said it now had over half of Mogadishu under its control though the transitional government of Somalia who suppose to leave the power as planned previosly mid 2011 extended its mandate time one more year!.
