Somalia

MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Wednesday attended the graduation ceremony for officers and deputy officers of the Somali army’s elite unit, Danab, who were trained at a US drone base near the capital, Mogadishu. 

It comes as the Somali government plans to revive a stalled offensive against the militant group Al-Shabaab in central Somalia, following insurgents’ recent reversals in a nearly two-year campaign aimed at reclaiming large areas of territory they control in Hirshabelle and Galmudug states.
