This is a good news Somalia is now being trained by USA and France, but sahal didn't Turkey,Italy, Malta, UK, and UAE all promise to train the Somali army, if so why is this so different???
UAE will train guutada 60maad at madaxtooyada, will reconstruct a new villa departments and offer to it two helicopters, this after the forces get fully equiped and ready.
Turkey will start with the police and army bases
Uk the security/intelligence
US, france will the SNA but mostly the special forces
Italy commands the EU SNA training project wich was moved to mogadishu months ago, this is the basic traing till now but its too slow as they train 2000 forces each year
The troops they trained so far haven't deployed yet, they get their wages by them. Govt is keeping them so they can be used for the heavier weapons.
Those who got deployed in mogadishu are trained by amisom
There are nearly 25000 forces some still need foreing training , EU has trained 6000 of them.
Their basic problem is lack of equipments but some have been equiped lately with weapons bought by the govt or offered by the UN through the AU.
What the US and france will do is training and equiping them
Today, the security council has stablished a fund project to support the SNA
Wich is why we should be thankful to al shabaab!.
