Inshallah we will make it back and do even better, never lose hop waraya, if you do we will truly be defeated.

The numbers for the pieces of armour are not accurate. It's better to show what they were.

The saddest thing about the Somali army is that it consists of several brigades of different clan militias. This is why we have had infighting in the army, and it is the reason why they are not competent. The soldiers are also unpaid for several months at a time, and and the militiamen are often predators.

Does farmajo and the regional states ever plan to integrate the army into a centralized force?

 

[sanger]

hence AMISOM

They don't get paid either

They agreed during the HSM era to send certain numbers of solseirs from each state to be integrated to into the armed forces. New soldiers, not the kind that is a part of a state force or militia force. Of course nothing became of this.

What a mess. I'll be 80 before Somalia ever sees peace and prosperity.

The turkish base will accelerate the integration. I don't know if all the FMS agreed to send soldiers to that base for training though

How long until we have a competent fighting force? AMISOM claim to be leaving soon, and we would crushed by AS in our current state.

140 tanks for an army without the ability to produce is hardly much to brag about.

How the mighty have fallen.

The number of tanks are incorrect. We had more than that. The number of soldiers are also incorrect the army was 40,000 soldiers.

140 tanks for an army without the ability to produce is hardly much to brag about.

It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.
