Mogadishu, (SONNA) — The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, met with the Somali Air Force Operations Command to review the progress made in the fight against terrorism, particularly the airstrikes targeting militant hideouts.
During the meeting, President Mohamud commended the Air Force officers for their unwavering efforts and the precision of their operations against terrorist groups. He highlighted that the recent airstrikes on militant strongholds had significantly weakened their capabilities and disrupted their plans to harm Somali civilians.
The Air Force commanders briefed the President on the overall situation of ongoing operations and outlined key strategies aimed at further strengthening the Somali Air Force. They reaffirmed their commitment to utilizing their advanced training to protect the nation.
President Mohamud reiterated the government’s pledge to continue rebuilding, equipping, and enhancing the Air Force to ensure they can effectively fulfill their duties and safeguard the Somali people from terrorist threats.
This marks a historic milestone, as it is the first time in years that the Somali Air Force has independently led and executed airstrikes against extremist groups.
