We trained with the PMPF both in Victoria and Mombasa, most of the maritime security forces in charge of Somalia both EUNAVFOR and US help train Somali partners and their security allies. The idea that PMPF would be considered threat to their own water is a developing conundrum.
Puntland’s UAE backed warlord Deni has rebelled against the central government and now poses a threat in international waters. Those who have looted weapons belonging to the Turkish security forces and the Somali federal government should be executed one by one, and Türkiye…
We gave @SNAForce our FOB & within less than 2 years they have undone nearly 20 years of hard work and dedication sacrifices. I’m getting report that our base near Afgoye is under attack and that’s just less than 30km from #Mogadishu. Our partners have sent reinforcements to Gedo
The latest briefing I received on Somalia is that this fragile country is reverting to its most basic behavior. Weapons are flooding Mogadishu, unregulated & unchecked. Another clan extermination is looming, but the AU will play a peaceful role. @StateDept needs to assist #Uganda
⚡️UPDATE: Jubbaland claims victory, saying its forces have expelled federal-aligned troops loyal to Abdirashid Janan from several key positions in the city. The Jubbaland administration accuses the troops of attempting to destabilize local peace and security.
I remember going through slow traffic in Mogadishu in 2015, and as I was watching wretched lives plagued by their own inability to govern, I saw one of their militiamen, undisciplined and hyped up on whatever he was chewing the night before, beat a woman and no one cared.
#ALERT: Somali Soldier Caught on Camera Brutally Beating Woman in Mogadishu. Sparks Public Fury A disturbing video circulating on social media shows a Somali soldier violently assaulting a woman in broad daylight at Dabka Junction in Mogadishu. The footage captures the soldier…
Majority of Somalis are extremist fanatics that can’t be trusted with their own shadow. The reason why Kenya an EAC member is not lifting restrictions like they have for the rest of Africa is because #Somalia has one of the worst forms of terrorists. Tribalism Supports Terrorists

#AS claims it has peacefully seized #Tardo, a strategic town in #Hiran earlier today.
My source within #Somalia’s government has confirmed that the administration is more focused on assisting districts it believes will support it in the upcoming elections. This explains a lot, especially the lack of support for Hiiraan and other regions. Tardo has fallen to AS
The voter registration process has officially commenced today in Jowhar, the capital city of Somalia's HirShabelle State.
Ciidanka @kdfinfo #AUSSOM ee ku sugan Saldhigga Hoosingo ayaa Khamiistii olole caafimaad oo lacag la’aan ah ka fuliyay xarunta caafimaadka ee Hoosingo, iyagoo daaweyey 122 qof oo ka tirsan dadka deegaanka. Dhaqaatiirtu waxay heleen dhawr kiisas oo kaduudiye ah, taas oo keentay…
What’s happening is obvious. We liberated over 100+ villages and towns, yet there was no competent Somali partner to take over and hold the ground. They asked us to hand it over for purely political reasons, and now that they’ve lost it, they’re begging to come back. God help us.
🚨 BREAKING: Al-Shabaab Flaunts Weapons Haul After SNA Base Raid 🇸🇴 Al-Shabaab has released graphic footage of its latest assault on a Somali National Army base in Burjeed, on the outskirts of Baidoa The video shows hundreds of weapons, AK-47s, light arms, and full military…
My thoughts are with the crew and families affected by the helicopter crash in Mogadishu. In that airspace, one must always consider the threat of sabotage. Al Shabaab often acts with inside help,sometimes even from within Somali security ranks. Let’s await the investigation

#AUSSOM forces from Sector 3 led by #ENDF repelled a major Al-Shabaab attack on Bay Durjed FOB, 12 km east of Baidoa. This is the second time they’ve saved the base. @aussom_ Without AU troops, Somalia would be overrun. #AUSSOMInTheSectors #Somalia #ENDF #AUSSOMInTheSectors
I am deeply honored to express my heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency the President and Commander-in-Chief of the UPDF, and the Chief of Defence Forces/SPA-SO, for elevating me to the rank of Major General. I pledge my unwavering commitment to protecting and defending Uganda,…
I used to think Somalia was conservative because it’s Muslim population , until I went to Mogadishu, especially during Farmajo’s regime. Anything was on offer if you backed the regime. There were more shady deals than in Kampala. I walked away. Many didn’t
EXCLUSIVE Farmajo’s Grooming Operations Somali women. Qatari cash. Israeli access. They weren’t diplomats. They were groomed, flown out, and used. One was recruited by her own uncle. 🧵
Brave and disciplined #UPDF forces seized #Zabid & #Anole villages from al shabab.This is exactly why #Somalia needs more professional African Union troops: battle-tested, & effective; unlike fragmented local forces that crumble under pressure & lack operational discipline.

Distributing water may seem small, but it builds trust, drop by drop. #AUSSOM is here for the long haul because real security takes time. As the African proverb says, “Little by little, the bird builds its nest.” This is how we win hearts and minds.
#AUSSOM BNDF troops on Tuesday distributed portable water to 85 displaced families at Towfiq #IDP camp in Jowhar to address shortages. Lieutenant Colonel Pierre Nzirorera, #BNDF’s Civil-Military Cooperation (#CIMIC) Officer, said this is part of efforts to build trust with local…
