MOGADISHU, (CAJ News) – SOMALIA is set to be the first country to benefit from China’s recently-announced Action for a Mine-free Africa initiative.

President Xi Jinping announced the scheme during his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).

In Somalia, it has been inaugurated following a meeting between Wang Yu, Chinese Ambassador to the country, and Abdullahi Sheikh Ismail (Fartaag), Minister of Internal Security of Somalia.

This is to support Somalia in effectively overcoming the threat of landmines and protecting its people’s lives and property.

China will donate ¥1 million (US$142 277) to the Somali Explosives Management Agency (SEMA), supervised by the Ministry of Internal Security of Somalia, to strengthen the country’s capabilities in landmine survey and risk education.

Ismail said in view of the serious threat of landmines in Somalia, the initiative of Action for a Mine-free Africa will effectively help Somalia improve its mine eradication capabilities and protect its people’s lives and property, for which the Somali people are grateful.

“Somalia is ready to strengthen cooperation with China to facilitate the country’s peace and reconstruction process,” the minister said.
Somalia, in the Horn of Africa region, is synonymous with conflict.

The Al-Shabaab group is the main perpetrator.

this administration has just looted their stuff so far with even their military trucks from may 2022 being found in Al shabaabs “newly acquired weapons” videos, so don’t worry too much about it. He’ll remain close to the west

China gives us free military supply trucks, uniforms, vaccines, and they have shown us nothing but respect, except for the fishing agreement. They’re not perfect, but they are superior to UK and UAE as an ally. Russia is even better, they were delivering weapons to us often a few years ago, but halted as they didn’t like Hassan making an official statement about crimea in 2014, their attitude didn’t change when he returned.

used effectively, this money is more than enough to complete the task, slowly but surely. Their ambassador has access to Chinese experts to deduce how much the task would cost to begin. This is just to start. If it’s going well, they’ll probably do more with it.

I don't have problem with China as an ally, it could be a wise choice as you said.

But they need run their products and imports for quality control, otherwise it could spill a disaster for Somalia

Imagine Somalia going to war against Ethiopia and Alshabaab. Worse if the Somali military try's to land a coup to uts HSM and it falls on its face like what happened in Bolivia
