Only in somalia. Government killing its own troops

[Removed]

Then haven't SNA been trained to operate like insurgents? One would assume that, since AS have been the no.1 enemy of the Somalia for the past decade+, all types of training would be to accustom them to the given circumstances and thus defeat AS.

Also, the number of Liyuu exceeds the total number of all Somali federal forces by at least the double. Liyuu was established around the time when AS started fighting against Somalia. With that said, there're simply other factors playing important roles that's emboldening/strengthening AS.

I cant speak to their training but they for the large part operate like a typical army i.e large vehicles large units fighting for strategic checkpoints on the main road and major towns.

You dont see units of 5 SNA walking into their rural villages or videos of small troops camping in far off road places to maintain pressure on their enemys safezones.

Alshabaab was planted as the shadow government since 2007 when the Ethiopians entered with the backing of the US. The Habesha scum would wait outside the masjids and kill off most of the ICU scholars who held the country together through Islamic laws. No one could steal, rape , fight etc. when the ICU was running the country. My grandfather and his cousins were the ones running Xariyaale court. Only the most knowledgeable were entrusted with this task. Sh shareefs father and many other elders were part of this movement. Unfortunately the west didn’t want this and with the help of Media they demonised the ICU. Ethiopian slaves would enter the country and shabaab was born soon after.

Their origins are tied to the 2006 Ethiopian invasion for sure. AUN the ICU the only form of government we had remaining. They had to snuff out any last bit of somalia. That’s how threatening somalia we’re to them.

the media has been weaponised against us too many times. With the pirates and with the ICU. If a president disobeys the west news outlets will portray them in a bad light too.
