President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has given the clearest indication yet of his government’s commitment to defeating international terrorist groups operating in Somalia.
His statements, which was issued on Monday, highlights Somalia’s dual focus on combating terrorism and improving healthcare infrastructure.
By vowing to defeat international terror groups like Al-Shabaab and ISIS, he underscored the government’s commitment to addressing security challenges.
The mention of “growing public momentum” suggests increased local support and resilience against these militant groups, particularly in key regions such as Puntland.
Additionally, his emphasis on enhancing healthcare infrastructure, exemplified by the opening of Hodan Hospital in Mogadishu, reflects a strategic shift toward self-reliance.
By treating injured soldiers domestically rather than sending them abroad, Somalia aims to strengthen its internal capacity and reduce dependency on external resources.
This approach not only supports the fight against terrorism but also contributes to the broader development of the nation’s healthcare system, benefiting civilians and military personnel alike.
