I apologise Sxb, I mistook you for another user. But my statement still stands, there are those on here who support one corrupt politician over another, for obvious reasons.

MOGADISHU, April 26 (Reuters) - Somalia's government said it had suspended and detained several members of an elite, U.S.-trained commando unit for stealing rations donated by the United States, adding that it was taking over responsibility for provisioning the force.
The Danab unit has been a key pillar of U.S.-backed efforts to combat the al Qaeda-linked militant group al Shabaab. The United States agreed in February to spend more than $100 million to build up to five military bases for Danab.
Somalia's defence ministry said in a statement late on Thursday that it had notified international partners of the theft and would share the outcome of its investigation.
A U.S. official said in a statement to Reuters that Washington takes seriously all accusations of corruption.
"We look forward to engaging with the Danab on creating the necessary safeguards and accountability measures to prevent future incidents that could affect future assistance," the official said, without directly addressing whether any U.S. support had already been suspended
It seems like they are taking over giving them provisions(pay, gear and food.) This government is corrupt as f*ck.

Are you sure sxb? Some here believe HSM and his admin to be honest and trustworthy leaders that haven’t stolen a dime. Maybe some of their underlings stole a few bucks that the president wasn’t aware of? I find this all very hard to believe given HSM has never been know for this kind of ‘mismanagement’ of funds. Perhaps one of his supporters can enlighten us as to what went wrong here? Anyone care to take a stab? Anyone at all?
That thread was vicious, the way they were getting mauled prompted sympathy from me. The Issaq that actually stayed and argued there deserve some respect for sticking it out. It makes the current HSM threads look tame in comparison.
I felt sorry for the HJ posters that were abandoned here by the rest of their kin. I don't think a single one has come back. Any HJ left or did they all go extinct after Aug 25th cataclysm?
There’s a few that are still here, idk if they are HA, HY, or HJ. I can’t tag them, don’t know their names by heart. @hagarwafi or something. But that guy lasted awhile before leaving the thread.
Each day it’s more apparent members of our government collude with AS to sabotage our armed forces
alhamdullilah
So the government informed USA of the corruption present in that force and are now taking the full responsibility for them.
How are some spinning this as FGS fault? If Im not mistaken, America deals directly with Danab. Now they won’t anymore.
Shouldn’t this now be somewhat positive? We are getting control of our armed forces.
Are you serious sxb? Whose fault would it be? Americas? The Cookie Monster? I’m not following.
Those who stole the funds? If they were paid directly by America, the people belonginh to that force are at fault.
And who are ‘those’ who stole the funds? I keep hearing about arrests but haven’t seen any faces or video of any arrests or court appearances
I understand stealing from elsewhere but imagine stealing from the men who are on the frontlines and fighting for their freedom?
it’s unethicalWhat’s disturbing is people who try to play this down and act like it isn’t a big deal when it’s clearly a major scandal and a symptom of a bigger issue. Qabiil is a helluva drug.He’ll I understand stealing from elsewhere but imagine stealing from the men who are on the frontlines and fighting for their freedom?
How embarrassing are these guys? Their poverty mindset hit American news as well. The Americans are gonna want to know where their money is going too and these ppl most likely have no account of it. There definitely closing the taps on this colossal failure of a administration . They’ll be broke soon enough.
