They're actually trying and fighting for their country. It's easy for you to judge while sitting comfortably in a western world.

I feel like Somalis lost rhythm. Their marching seems less in unison in the 2021 example. They also seem a little shorter.

They lost discipline, more like. Or there's no longer a dictator to fear who will have you locked up with fire ants if you displease him.

There was a time that most military officers received their training abroad mostly in the former USSR and to a lesser extent Syria, Egypt, Iraq, the UK and Italy.

Although we were a Soviet ally for years we didn't got any of Soviet military style, look at this parade, it's just, excellent :wow:

Why do they march like that, just walk as the US army does. Don't copy the Germans.

Please feel free to eviscerate me if I'm wrong but I feel like I see fair number of out of shape troops. A couple of somewhat small bellies and skinny fat looking types.
 
What went wrong? simple, a vile creature decided to use the army to butcher it's own people. It's happened throughout Africa at one point or another in the last 60 years.
