If true this is great news. Hopefully this should help with defeating shabaab in phase 2 and stabilizing the country.

They should put strict rules on the FGS. Every weapon needs a serial code so if any corrupt official try to sell these weapons to some clan militia it can be tracked.

Sadly when your government is incompetent you cant trust them with their privileges.

Amazing news if it comes true

This is bad news, I’m sure it’ll end up in the wrong hands. As soon as they’re done with alkebab, they’ll go on a clan killing spree.

@The Midlands is this true?

The FGS needs a monopoly on violence. There needs to be a ridged system to get even the most basic equipment yet alone the most powerful stuff.

We can not afford anything to fall into the hands of men that'll sell the weapons on the black market, in turn leading Shabaab getting their hand on it. This is what happened in Afghanistan.

Al Shabaab will be hunted like a lion chasing a gazelle. Nowhere to hide.

First thing we need is to buy ships to guard our waters and next jet fighters to bombs al shabaab.

This won't happen because it's the FGS that will be allowed to import weapons, not the clans.

I think the issue isn't the import but where those weapons end up. If some sell them off for a quick buck you'll see clan militia running around with them. The FGS can not let this happen.

So only helicopters and artillery?

It happened that some tribes were fighting with small arms that allowed entry into Somalia How did they get it?

The bald freedom eagle will have oversight as they were building the storage capacity of the SFG.

If this happens and the SNA gains monopoly on all arms. The civil war is officially over, the stalemate between federal states will be broken.
