The U.S. military has withdrawn its forces from Baledogle airfield in Somalia after 14 years, although they remain active in other regions of the country. This move was reported by Task & Purpose, citing an anonymous military official. The exact number of troops previously stationed at Baledogle has not been disclosed, but they were involved in anti-terrorism operations and training Somali special forces. The airfield has a history of conflict, having been occupied by Al-Shabaab in the past. The U.S. will also cease funding for certain UN and African Union missions in Somalia due to insufficient progress against Al-Shabaab.
