Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The Ministry of Defence of the Federal Government of Somalia welcomed the successful completion of the first training program for Egyptian Armed Forces units, who will soon join the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).
The African Union Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) had earlier approved the participation of Egyptian troops in AUSSOM. This milestone underscores Egypt’s commitment to supporting Somalia’s security and strengthening the capacity of the Somali National Army under the framework of the new AU mission.
The Ministry of Defence commended the role of the African Union and international partners in enhancing Somalia’s security institutions, noting their crucial contribution to accelerating the fight against terrorist groups Al-Shabaab and Daesh.
