President Mohamud Urges SNA to Maximize Lifting of Arms Embargo

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud urged the Somali National Army (SNA) to maximize the recent lifting of the arms embargo.

In December 2024, the United Nations lifted the arms embargo imposed on Somalia almost three decades ago.

On April 12, as the military celebrated the 64th anniversary of its founding, President Mohamud called on it to take advantage of the removal of the embargo to boost its capabilities.
