As for AMISOM; I see them as a force stabilizer. Somalia with its current clan based culture is incapable of guaranteeing a professional security force which is united in being a pillar of the state rather than a partisan actor for internal factions vying for power. AMISOM guarantees that the short-term security of the rebuilding of the Somali state is independent of internal political movements with its ever shifting and unstable loyalities.
As an example, look at this declassified CIA observation of Somalia at the night before the coup in October 21, 1969 (even then the instability and dependence of Somali security forces on clan factors is apparent):
