Nothing to talk about when it's simpleThe Turks are pushing for talks. Some much for the brotherly relationship. Somalis should know they have trade and business interests in Ethiopia as well. Turkish drones changed the tide of the Tigray war as TPLF were marching towards Addis and Abiy's regime was on the back foot. The Turkish maritime deal could end up biting this country in the ass.
You can’t deny though they’ve been taking action, let’s not keep our heads buried shall we?They keep changing the date. First it was February, then April, then June 26 and now July and August?
AS isn’t nationalist Don’t portray them as such broThe real war in somalia is between al shabab vs Ethiopia, kenya, and america. Whoever win this war will rule somalia. The rest are just distraction
We broke can barely pay troops we have. If we had funds would be easy to have big army as most of youth and men unemployed 200 dollars a month they gonna jump at that. Only chance is volunteer army which ain’t happening. No one will die for another’s land right now. We busy fighting each other to worry about somaliland leasing ocean.Submissive tone from the president for troops to just enter his country like that. Why is he so against building up our military forces beyond a measly 10-20k when Ethiopia has 600’000?
Wasn’t the intention for the SNA to be 18k troops and for the collective FMS forces to be 18k? Realistically SNA should be at least double but even if we had the funds to pay all those soldiers we wouldn’t be able to. Not enough accountability structures in place to prevent the funds from being pilfered as they are now.We broke can barely pay troops we have.

No matter who is president nothing they can do other than apply international pressure. Somalia not beating Ethiopia in war HSM hands are tied. I say let somaliland do as they please they won’t get any real recognition. They day somaliland gets recognition is day Somalia splits into 5 or more pieces permanently which no one is interested in
Per NDP 9. The goal is Somali national army to be 18,000 troops. And then each FMS to have 3,000 specialized troops each which is another 18k. Then the goal is to have 32k state and federal police officers who will patrol, solve crime, address disputes and deal with citizens . Military will deal with foreign adversaries and ensuring borders protectedWasn’t the intention for the SNA to be 18k troops and for the collective FMS forces to be 18k?

What is the goal of Turkey in thisYeah, I also have a hard time seeing the MoU going through
You have the budgets available on your thread, however I’ll have to heavily disagree with you on the matter. The funds unaccounted for number enough to pay the salaries of our youth, each flight taken from the PM & pres is expensive with a majority surpassing the 100’000$ mark. Stolen money which raised suspicion from the world bank itself along with what they don’t know about, and without doubt, that money could have been used elsewhere. It still may not be enough, but conscription and reducing salary to 100 to allow a higher amount of soldiers would provide a viable means of defence.We broke can barely pay troops we have.

Bro shabab are without doubt an extremist but at the moment they are the only somali entity who have ability to stand against Ethiopia and kenya. The islamist in somalia are the only reason why Ethiopia and kenya have not annexed South SomaliaAS isn’t nationalist Don’t portray them as such bro
Somalia has no sovereignty how many years did Kenya control kismayo port and till this day they are in jubbaland. Dubai has 30 year leases. Turkey was given land and ocean concessions. Everything for sale. somaliland not doing anything out of ordinary selling out. They basically cutting out HSM as middlemanYou have the budgets available on your thread, however I’ll have to heavily disagree with you on the matter.

Undervaluing the threat to our sovereignty is not an accurate measurement of the situation. Another country doing this anywhere else would be treated appropriately, so I’d appreciate if we all reduced the disengenuos tactics of providing appeasement to the situation. succeeding will show the world that we blow smoke. From this point on (if they succeed)
Taiwan is unrecognized by China but by the rest of the world. The separatists with how broke they are already managed to have their passport accepted elsewhere.
Even if you doubled SNA troops to 36k, salary expenditures annually would be 86 million. Accounting for salary differences among ranks we can round up to 100 million. Sad state of affairs that we cannot raise even this much for salaries, let alone the other expenditures associated with a standing army.Per NDP 9.

Has the MOU even moved an inch since the announcement?You can’t deny though they’ve been taking action, let’s not keep our heads buried shall we?
