In July 2012, the Kenyan military placed its forces in Somalia under the command of the African Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the continent’s boldest and riskiest collective security response to the existential threat of Jihadi Islamism. In War and Peace, experts present new insights on Kenya’s pursuit of al-Shabaab inside Somalia, its re-hatting to become part of AMISOM, achievements and challenges in the war against Jihadi Islamism. The book also sketches a vision of a post-AMISOM security order. In frank, factual and accessible prose, the book delves beyond the headlines to advance on the challenges to peace support operations in the zones of terrorism and in the wake of the forceful return of the Cold War-era geopolitics.
