Somalia receives shipment of coveted Turkish drones HIIRAAN.COM Mogadishu (HOL) - Somalia’s National Army has received reconnaissance drones from Turkey this week, according to a well-placed military source.

They take their cues from the opposition.

I wonder how many drones and who will be operating them? Somalia also needs mechanized divisions. I am surprised the West is so far mute.

This is a funny one, a Pro-TPLF folks

According to Pro-Farmajo crew

And supposedly, Somalia is getting drones. How true that is is questionable, but Turkey has been training Somali pilots and drone operators.

Sources are saying 6,000 of these boys are coming back. Federal and State governments met to get ready for the post-AMISOM stage

Staying with the message, security continues to deteriorate .

They have to sell it as such considering people are going hungry and young people are asked to sacrifice themselves. For the time being, it is an easy sell as Abiy and Amhara extremists are using genocidal language.

TPLF leadership is selling the war as an existential event.

Video has sub-titles. His emphasis on Amhara is telling.

Arafat, I hope you are right. This will spare the region a great deal of misery.

Gentlemen, The opposition was played. They only came to realize this when they got screwed over. They were clapping and congratulating the outrageously corrupt Seneta selection.

We tend to blow things out of proportion. Fahad is no more powerful than anyone else. He is more competent and people seem to confuse competence for power. More importantly, unlike 'laandheer' politicians, the man depends on his skills to sedate what passes for politicians in Somalia.
