Somalia’s Army Is Winning: Why the World Should Pay Attention

Across central Somalia, the Somali National Army (SNA), backed by community militias, is achieving daily victories against Al-Shabaab and other terror groups. From Aboorey to Galgaduud, Somali forces are reclaiming land, eliminating high-profile militants, and restoring security. These aren't just military operations — they're a national uprising against fear, showing the power of unity and self-reliance. Somalia is writing a new story — one of resistance, resilience, and rising from decades of conflict.

The SNA’s campaign is a blueprint for African-led security. With limited external support, Somali forces are dismantling terror networks that once dominated large swaths of the country. Their courage proves that local strength and civilian cooperation can defeat global threats. Every liberated village sends a message to the world: Somalia is not a failed state — it’s a fighting state. And its army is not just defending borders — it's defending the hope of an entire continent.

This is not just a Somali victory — it’s a blow to extremism worldwide. The world must amplify this success, support Somalia’s progress, and recognize the SNA as a frontline force in the global fight against terror. Somalia is no longer waiting for peace — it's winning it.
