Mogadishu January 02, 2023 (SD) – The President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, today visited the General Gordan camp in Mogadishu, where Somali forces trained in Eritrea are based, and informed them to prepare to participate in the war to liberate the country from Al-Shabaab.

The president shared the hopes of his government and the Somali people for the troops to complete the eradication of the militants from the country.

“I and the Somali people are happy for your return. From today onwards, we will prepare and move to face the enemy. We want the new operation to liberate the remaining areas to be faster than the previous ones, to be completed in a short period of time,” said Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
