Newly trained Somali National Army (SNA) recruits have arrived in Bakool to enhance security in the region.
The recruits landed in Bakool on Thursday together with their colleagues from the Special Forces.
They have all undergone intensive military training in Baidoa, the administrative capital of the regional state of Southwest.
The new graduates will operate from Elbarde, one of the districts in Bakool, to ensure that the residents are safe from insurgents.
