Hundreds of US troops could soon be returning to Somalia after President Biden approved their deployment.
It's nearly 18 months since American forces left, which was the decision of former President Trump.
In that time, the militant group al-Shabab is said to have gained strength and attacks against government and peace keeping forces have increased.
It has been a busy few days in Somalia, with a new president - Hassan Sheikh Mohamud - elected on Sunday.
So, what do these latest developments mean for Somalia and the fight against al-Shabab?
