Balli-doogle Military Base, Somalia; In a bid to strengthen the capabilities of the Somali National Army and combat the persistent threat of Al-Shabaab, Defense Minister Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, alongside the Chief of the National Army, successfully concluded a rigorous training program for units of the elite Danab Commandos. The training took place at the Balli-doogle Military Base and aimed to equip the troops with the necessary skills and expertise required to maintain peace and security in the nation.

With Somalia facing an ongoing offensive against the Al-Shabaab insurgency, the Danab Commandos have been at the forefront of the efforts to eliminate this menace once and for all. Their pivotal role in these operations has been instrumental in safeguarding the nation’s stability.

The recently completed training saw a fresh batch of soldiers joining the ranks of the Danab units, significantly bolstering the nationwide efforts to counter terrorism. The soldiers’ enhanced skills and preparedness will undoubtedly provide crucial support to the ongoing operations throughout the country.

As Somalia continues its fight against extremism, the nation can take pride in the commitment and dedication exhibited by its military forces, as evidenced by the successful training at the Balli-doogle Military Base. The collaborative efforts of the Defense Minister, the Chief of the National Army, and the courageous Danab Commandos are a proof to Somalia’s unwavering determination to establish lasting peace and security within its borders.
