BREAKING NEWS: Russia calls for arms embargo on Somalia to be lifted.

If we take ur suggestion of not lifting the embargo, how else can we defeat AS

President Donald Trump has expanded the role of the U.S. military in Africa, giving the Pentagon more authority Wednesday to conduct airstrikes and send in U.S. troops to help the embattled East African nation battle Islamist insurgents.

Trump's move would allow U.S. special forces to work directly with the Somali military, which has struggled for over a decade against the influence of Al-Shabab, an ultraconservative Sunni Muslim militant group linked to Al-Qaeda, the Associated Press reported. The new directive labeled swaths of southern Somalia, excluding the capital district of Mogadishu, as war zones. The revision would give U.S. ground forces the ability to call in airstrikes without higher-level approval, something the Pentagon has reportedly been asking for in order to realize its stated goal of stabilizing the nation, which has seen near-constant conflict for over 25 years. Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesperson, said that the move would assist both the U.S. and its allies.

I would be willing to go as far as having Russia help us run the country. With them we could crush shabaab, crush amisom and Ethiopian soldiers, push out the West and their evil NGO's, build and train an elite army, create state and governmental institutions, build infrastructure, industrialize the nation and build top schools, universities and hospitals. Wallahi I would be down for a 20-30 year relationship with Russia similar to the current Chechnya-Russia relationship. We have no sovereignty to speak of anyway, why not let Russia be our daddy for a while and help us out till we become the powerhouse of Africa? Russia really and truly goes in for their allies. Where would Assad be right now without Russia? Russia is so generous with Chechnya that other regions of the country where ethnic Russians live are jealous of all the resources being funneled into this autonomous Muslim region by the Kremlin. In addition Putin does not get involved in the internal affairs of the Chechens, they are 100% autonomous. As long as they pledge allegiance to Moscow the Kremlin is happy and keeps the money and arms flowing.

Putin alone is not capable of this, Russia atm is not capable of this, it may seem that they're back on the world stage as a superpower, but in reality, the political and economic situation in Russia is much different. The only reason why Putin hasn't been ousted yet or his popularity decreasing yet is because of syria. Italy has a better chance in helping Somalia, in fact, I think they should push for stronger relations with the EU and the west, as well as china.

Why would Somalia want to be in a position similar to Assad? yes he's still the president of Syria, but with all the tension between the different factions, it will not last very long. We need to take similar approaches that Japan, Malaysia, and Taiwan took. Keep our dhaqan, yet allow for modernization.

We need to pick the right allies

We don't need tanks in the horn of africa, what we need are IFV, which are well suited for our terrain + lots of artillery.
