And the embarrassment for our nationhood goes on

US Embassy, handed over a fleet of military pickups and ambulances and its for "special force" yet the fleet is literal scraps and not a single Armored vehicle in seight.. but on the other hand ATMIS has gotten several donations of Armored vehicls.. The somali military is being made into a circus

I'm not saying they owe us better than this but it would be better to not receive trash and for them to get the credit of keeping us alive and sustainable


Professional militaries normally use Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) for pick ups

It's better than nothing but what is going on hasn't the arms embargo been lifted already.

You want better you purchase and procure the armaments and equipment you want.

Stop complaining about stuff you are given for free.

Lol we can't expect advanced handouts, it's up to the government to spend on the military. There are no excuses left. Arms embargo has been lifted.

They sell danab rations in the market who the hell would trust them after that.

Of course not and i would rather not take handouts from the west in general. But it worse for them to act like they are giving us handouts while supplying us extremely low quality stuff

Beggars cant be choosers just say alx. and move on. Amisom is backed by all of africa + every aid agency in the world. Further more, the defense on those vehicles is not to attack but to protect themselves from the very people they are supposed to protect. With the enemies somalia has these technicals are very good. Maybe in the next regime we can invest advanced weaponary. And if you see Russia Vs ukraine you can see the armored vehicles are nearly useless in active combat due to drones.. Tanks with jammers is the way to go aswell as a strong airforce and Artilerly and mortar... Drones too. Wlhi looking at the pictures, and then taking a look at somalia in the present day we got 1-3 million dollars in equipment free of charge..

Im suprised that somalia even gets anything tbh, if you want change to happen. First change must start with the entire system its self. Ive given up if you havent realized it yet.
