U.S.A STOPS Aid to Somalia's army

[DRACO]

USA has suspended aid to the Somali National Army (SNA) after NAIROBI (Reuters) - The United States is suspending food and fuel aid for most of Somalia’s armed forces over corruption concerns, a blow to the military as African peacekeepers start to withdraw this month.

The U.S. suspension of aid came after the Somali military repeatedly failed to account for food and fuel, according to private correspondence between the U.S. and Somali governments seen by Reuters.

“During recent discussions between the United States and the Federal Government of Somalia, both sides agreed that the Somali National Army had failed to meet the standards for accountability for U.S. assistance,” a State Department official told Reuters last week, on condition of anonymity.

The United States also suspended a programme paying soldiers $100 monthly stipends in June after the federal government refused to share responsibility for receiving the payments with regional forces fighting al Shabaab.

Again ,corruption= civilians Will suffer. Farmajo is carrying on the Trend of #Corruption.

Al shabab keep capitalising on the disorganisation Suicide bombing today killed 18 police officers 15 in intensive care .

 

[LittleNileRiver]

It's so obvious the US wants al-Shabab to stay in Somalia. It's time Mogadishu cut ties with Washington, and look to Moscow for help!
Mother Russia destroyed ISIS, I'm sure they can defeat al-shabab in less than a year.

That Farmaajo is continuing the same tactics used by Culusow makes it clear that nothing has changed. Somalia will collapse again once Amisom withdraw. Only this time it won't by the moderate ICU that takes over, but Alshabab. The people who are opposed to federalism have sabotaged the state building process, there has been no progress now for almost 6 years. Alshabab are playing a waiting game against the EU and the US expecting that they will eventually tire of spending billions of $$ on something that is not working. Without the 22,000 Amisom troops, there is no Somalia.

They can keep their money along with their dog food (food aid)

 

[XamarCade]

Washington never had the best interest of Somalia, they were funding warlords to keep the status quo in xamar till ICU came and restored order, then they forced and payed Ethiopia to invade and wreck havoc on Somalia while the usual dhabodilifs supported them and praised them as youd expect, AS are little rag tag gangs that have no power and can easily be defeated, once Amisom leaves the true rulers of Somalia will bring back law and order with a centralized government from xamar. Stop thinking that the US would ever want a Somalia to get out of this mess, ur fooling urselves.

exactly bro, all these supposed funds never reached Somalis and they all got eaten up by fake thieving NGO's that took our farmers out of business. f*ck em, if eritrea took matters into their own hands and told them to f*ck off, why can't we

Russia had personal stakes in Syria. What reason would they have to waste that much money on Somalia?

 

[BirtaanJabin]

If America stopped delivering Aid to Somalia maybe Amisom will stop delivering Aids to Somalia

The US and EU want a somali gov whos influence doesn't extend a mile outside the green zone.

 

[BirtaanJabin]

Waa sax Somalis need to help themselves

Afwerkis gov controls eritrea, their power is centralized. Thats why they can talk move they way they do. But we have practically 4 or 5 governments with their own foreign policy. We lost it for now anyways
