Defence Minister Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur has blasted politicians around the country who continuously slander the Somali National Army (SNA).
His statement, which he made on Saturday, highlights the tension between political discourse and military operations in Somalia.
His call for politicians to avoid politicizing military efforts underscores the importance of maintaining unity and support for the national army, especially in ongoing operations against Al-Shabaab.
Balancing criticism with respect for national security efforts is crucial for maintaining effective and cohesive counter-terrorism strategies.
