On Thursday, Somalia and the United States of America signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the construction of five military bases for the “Danb” Brigade of the Somali National Army.
The agreement aims for Washington's contribution to building an effective Somali army capable of assuming security responsibilities and fighting against Al-Shabaab.
Molly Fee, US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs who was present at the signing ceremony, said that the United States supports Somalia so that its army can confront Al-Shabaab.
The American official indicated that relying on temporary camps hinders the readiness of DENAB, explaining that the goal is for the Somali army to maintain full control over operations when the facilities are completed, and she stated that the memorandum of understanding provides the detailed plan for doing so.
