The Deputy Commander of the Africa Union Mission to Somalia (Amisom) peacekeeping troops Major General Nakibus Lakara has ended his tour of duty after 18 months in Mogadishu.
Maj Gen Lakara, who until last week was serving as the deputy force commander in charge of support and logistics, is to be replaced by a Burundi General.
On departure from Somalia Gen Lakara was seen off by the Amisom head Francisco Madeira, his deputy Lydia Wanyoto and force commander Lieutenant General Osman Noor Soubalegh together with other senior Amisom commanders.
