The U.S. will build up to five military bases for the Somali army in a project that seeks to bolster the Somalian national army's capabilities amid ongoing threats from an extremist group.
Somalia’s defense minister and the U.S. charge d’affaires signed a memorandum of understanding Thursday in Mogadishu, the Somali capital.
The agreement comes at a time when the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia, known as ATMIS, is scaling back its presence in Somalia.

Too many.
They obviously care more about foreigners than citizens.
Yea that will work out well.
They never learn
But there’s no money to stop illegals invading
And when finished, abandon them as well, letting the muslims have yet more equipment and munitions to use against us and Israel.
Wasn’t there a us representative that just said Somali was her first priority? (Omar)
It also comes at a time when Moscovia is recruiting 10,000 African troops, which, so far, have proved a disaster on the Ukraine frontline.
Keep our nose out of other countries’ business.
Long past time we tended to our own problems for the foreseeable future.
Because getting involved in that s***hole country did us so much good the last time.
“Building bases for future use by moslem terrorists.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Bingo. We’re doing that so we can evacuate and turn everything over to Al-Shabaab, a la Afghanistan and the Taliban.
Maybe a couple of them are in Michigan and Minnesota.
Lemme see if I've got this straight: the Africans don't care what happens to the regime in skinnyville; but we do???
“Bases,” ie. migrant collection centers.
Translation: Expect a new giant wave of Somalis taking over another area in America the way they did Minneapolis/St Paul.
Because now they will be “allies”.
Play with a turd, get crap on your fingers.
Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter. It’s not like we are 34 trillion in debt.
More money from the American taxpayers!!
Hooray!!
How many of ILLhan 0mar’s cousins, uncles etc. will get lucrative contracts from this new 0bama scam?
They have an army?????????
Somali visitor warnings:
Do not travel to Somalia due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping, and piracy.
Country Summary: Violent crime, such as kidnapping and murder, is common throughout Somalia, including Puntland and the Somaliland region. Illegal roadblocks are widespread. Some schools and other facilities acting as “cultural rehabilitation” centers are operating throughout Somalia with inadequate or nonexistent licensing and oversight.
Reports of physical abuse and people being held against their will in these facilities are common.
Terrorists continue to plot kidnappings, bombings, and other attacks in Somalia. They may conduct attacks with little or no warning, targeting airports and seaports, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and other areas that attract large crowds and are frequented by Westerners, as well as government, military, and Western convoys.
Methods of attack can include car bombs, suicide bombers, individual attackers, and mortar fire, among others. While some areas have experienced less severe terrorist activity, such as the Somaliland region, where there have been no major terrorist attacks since 2008, terrorist attacks involving the indiscriminate use of explosive devices and other weapons can take place anywhere in Somalia at any time without warning.
The U.S. Embassy heavily restricts the movement of its employees in Mogadishu based on the critical threat environment.
Civil unrest occurs throughout Somalia and can sometimes be violent.
Medical facilities across Somalia have limited capacity and are often nonexistent in rural areas.
Pirates are active in the waters off the Horn of Africa, especially in the international waters near Somalia.
The U.S. government has extremely limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Somalia due to the lack of permanent consular presence in Somalia, including the Somaliland region.
Due to risks to civil aviation operating within or in the vicinity of Somalia, the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a Special Federal Aviation Regulation. For more information, U.S. citizens should consult the Federal Aviation Administration’s Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Notices.
If you decide to travel to Somalia:
Review your personal security plan and visit our page on Travel to High-Risk Areas.
Avoid sailing near the coast of Somalia and review the Live Piracy Report published by the International Maritime Bureau.
Draft a will and designate appropriate insurance beneficiaries and/or power of attorney.
Swell.
