Senior officials from Somalia's Immigration and Citizenship Agency and the African Union's Counter-Terrorism Centre (AUCTC) met in Mogadishu to discuss deepening cooperation on border management, migration, and counterterrorism. The talks covered intelligence sharing, tracking the movement of suspected terrorists across Somalia's borders, and progress in deploying digital systems to manage immigration data and flag potential security threats. The meeting reflects Somalia's ongoing efforts to bolster its border controls amid continued operations against Al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda-linked militant group active across Somalia and the wider Horn of Africa region; no specific new agreements were announced.
