Somalia rebuilds: ‘the glass is now half-full’

A new offensive against jihadis aims to help transform a ‘poster child’ of failed states

I personally believe if HSM achieves these five points, he has succeeded in his mission

• securing debt relief
• finalising the process for the first Somali constitution since the fall of Barre
• Liberating areas from Al - Shabaab control
• 1P1V with political parties
• ATMIS to leave the country

@bidenkulaha hopefully he lifts the Arms embargo soon and floods the 27th and 21st division of the army with as much weapons we can get our hands on inshallah

We need more of those mine resistant vehicles that have automatic turrets. Would help our troops a lot. Also could do with tanks and heavy artillery.

We also need air power so drones and helicopters. Fighter jets are too expensive to maintain for now.
