Turkey training tomorrow's Moryaan.
never knew you were a qabliste
most of these soldiers (in fact 70-80%) are younger than 25.Far from it. When I use the term I'm referring to all the undisciplined soldiers that went wild in the civil war.
If I was then I wouldn't be a unionist.
What makes you believe they are or will be undisciplined?Far from it. When I use the term I'm referring to all the undisciplined soldiers that went wild in the civil war.

They are SNA and will be fighting for the country, I believe they are suppose to take over from amisom.Who are they training and later fighting for?
They'll end up being split between different factions.
It'll be total chaos and too late when we realise Turkey isn't training these soldiers for a stable Somalia.
I don't think Turkey has any sort of bad agenda towards Somalia, they have taken the country and its people very serious with any kind of help it needs like none other countries has done for Somalia, abaal wayn baanu u haynaa waalalaheen turkiga runtii.I don't buy into the whole "Turkey has other agendas with the possibility of undermining Somalia" conspiracy. Turkey has not committed any acts that have remotely come close to confirming these conspiracies as well.
In contrast, @RasCanjero- brings up one key point, once the SNA are trained and armed, will it desolve into a qabil/self-interest based factions if a moment of disarray were to happen in the capital ?
I hope Kheyre can string things together, personally I want Amisom gone as soon as possible and the southern conflict involving gedo and kenyan forces to be dealt with swiftly.
Al-Shabaab have been quiet lately ever since the security in Mogadishu has been cranked to its maximum level over the last two months and I am curious to see how well SNA can hold off attacks on the capital with Amisom gone as well.

They have helped Somalia with its infrastructure, health care, security and not so long ago, turkey made a contract deal with Somalia to export its livestock, fish, vegetables to Turkey, europe and asia which will boost Somalia's economy rapidly! It will bring the fish industry back on track and let me remind you that the fish industry can compete with oil industry because of that somalia is rich with fish.
Those who are condemning the work and the presence of Turkey are always the ones who don't want to see somalia gets its act together.
when the soldiers graduate there is a process where turkey washes their hands off the newly trained soldiersThey are training 500 soldiers every 3 months correct? That's 2000 highly trained soldiers every year. Very good. Our best hope is that Turkey won't pull a UAE on us.

What do you believe Turkey is training them for?
I understand your saying they could be doing more but at the same time they've helped more than any country since the civil war began. They're the best and probably the only ally we have rn. A stable Somalia is in their interest while neighbouring countries and regions have been doing all they can to keep Somalia in a state of chaos and division.Sounds great but still specious.
Turkey just wants to feel relevant on the global scale and Somalia is the only place they could do it in.
If they wanted to aid the Somali people; an intelligence briefing on Al Shabaab's backers and domestic hierarchy would be more useful.
At least more useful than a group of half trained soldiers let loose within our already ongoing conflicts.
Btw don't assume everything they've done so far as purely altruistic.
Most of those developments were funded by the Turkish government and funneled to an Erdogan controlled company.
