A member of the Somali National Army walks across the runway
at Kismayo International Airport on the outskirts of the port city of Kismayo
in southern Somalia. This fall, Kismayo was liberated from the terrorist group al-Shabab by members of the Kenya Defense Forces, the Somali National Army, and
local militias all operating under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). But as James Verini writes in his dispatch for Foreign Policy, liberation doesn't meant that the Islamic terrorist insurgency has been defeated.
