 “The Heart of a Nation: Why Supporting Somalia’s Army Matters More Than Ever

In every corner of Somalia, brave men and women are standing guard—not just with weapons, but with unshakable belief in a better tomorrow. The Somali National Army (SNA) has become more than a military force. It’s the beating heart of a nation fighting for peace, justice, and freedom from terror.

These soldiers face constant threats from extremists who want to destabilize our society. And yet, they continue—often without the equipment or recognition they deserve. What drives them? Love of country. A sense of duty. And hope.

While they’re risking their lives in the field, we have a duty too. To raise our voices. To show support. To demand better resources for our defenders. Because defeating terrorism isn’t just the job of the military—it’s a national mission.

We don’t all wear uniforms. But we can all stand behind those who do.
