The Allies knows the only way out is to arm the army.. EU WHO have paid 1.2bil dollars to somalia, have something lose bc there plan is to re-gain that thru oil, the same with turkey and The US.. so them arming the somali national army is the only way out today.. Amisom leaders were out not long ago saying we can not fight al-shabaab literally. they don't have morale or the somali never get tired attitude..
I was just checking out Kenya's armed forces.. its save to say the kenyans are weak and not armed well..
they have 76 of vickers mbt its a British 1964 tank.. but they have good air-force.
Amisom are well armed with strong T-72 russian tanks, and ethiopia have 500+ of those tanks..
what somalia needs is T-72 russian tanks 200+ atleast
Russian air force jets + helicopters they can even buy them on the Black market
nyala light armored cars.. and amisom carriers are also good.
thats all you need plus some other small arms like anti-tanks, air defence missils etc etc...
