The Minister of Defense of the Somali Federal Government, Abd al-Qadir Mohamed Nur, has bid farewell to units of the Somali Armed Forces in Mogadishu to join combat operations against al-Shabaab in the country.
Minister Nour expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the courage and dedication of the soldiers who are willing to risk their lives to defend their homeland.
He indicated that the soldiers will join their comrades on the front lines in the fight against Al-Shabaab, expecting a quick victory in the war on terrorism.
The minister did not mention exactly where the forces would start their operations, but that sending them to the battlefields comes at a time when the Somali government has been criticized for temporarily halting operations against Al-Shabaab.
