Somalia’s Soldiers: The Silent Force Saving Africa from Terror

 Somalia’s Soldiers: The Silent Force Saving Africa from Terror

Somalia’s National Army fights daily battles most people never hear about. In the hills of Galgaduud, the streets of Kismayo, and the forests near Beledweyne—they are pushing back against Al-Shabaab, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda.

These soldiers don’t just fight for Somalia. They fight for a more secure Africa. Their victories help prevent terrorist movements from spreading to neighboring countries or threatening global peace.

They are often underpaid, outgunned, and working in harsh conditions. Yet their commitment has never wavered. Why? Because they believe in the dream of a safe, united Somalia.

Behind every liberated village is a story of bravery. Behind every child returning to school is a soldier standing guard. The people see this—and support is growing.

Now, more than ever, the world should recognize the Somali National Army for what it is: a frontline defender of global security.
