The Ministry of Defense of the Federal Government of Somalia received military equipment provided by the European Union Mission to Build the Capacity of the National Armed Forces.
Somali Land Forces Commander Major General Mohamed Tahlil Bihi said that the equipment is of special importance in developing the capabilities of the army, noting that the success of the armed forces is due in part to the use of modern military equipment and advanced weapons.
It is noteworthy that the European Union is an important partner for Somalia, as it provides great support to the Somali government in the political, security and development fields.
The Somali army is continuing military operations to pursue and liquidate terrorist cells in areas where Al-Shabab militants are still present in the south and center of the country.
While the army is currently battling al-Shabaab, Farmajo was using troops trained abroad, along with their armed support, to use them against opponents, rather than fighting al-Shabaab.
Also the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, received the Head of the World Bank office in the country, Christina Svensson, and discussed with her the strengthening of cooperation between the Bank and the Somali Federal Government.
Svenson indicated that the World Bank will support Somalia with $100 million in the next 12 months to implement priority plans, and commended the Somali president's determination to reorganize the country's financial system.
This shows that Somalia has regained the trust of donor countries, the World Bank and its allies, following the fall of the dictatorial Farmajo government.
