Zoobe and other sophisticated attacks=UAE trying to impede Turkish relations. They killed a lot of turk workers too during those years. The weapon they used was smuggle worthy.
the last part doesn’t really stand here, after I made a thread detailing how dangerous NN term was. Their plan just happened to be really good for shabaab. It’s a shame HSM left the training agreement for two years. We may have had 65k soldiers by now. I never saved the actual article which spoke on NISA in that term, but they called it “one of the most sophisticated counter terrorism agencies in all of Africa” from a reputable source that came to survey their operations which were trained and nurtured by qatar.
The assessment of the number of soldiers is also iffy. The number of SNA on salary are said to be 40’000. Which is the same number as when NN ended their term. The UAE troops aren’t being paid so I will subtract that, I’ll also subtract those that died in galmudug and other gobol, as well as the men that deserted or left to go help their deegan or those that wanted to avoid being set up and killed by gov. Leaving us with 19-21’000. Not sure why the numbers are inflated.
