The United States has called upon all citizens of Somalia to unite against Al-Shabaab, which it refers to as the common enemy of all Somalis in the East African nation.
A statement from the US Embassy in Mogadishu underscores the ongoing collaboration between the United States and Somalia in the fight against Al-Shabaab.
The teleconference involving U.S. Ambassador Richard Riley, Colonel Norris of the Joint Special Operations Task Force Somalia, and HirShabelle President Ali Hussein Gudlawe highlights the strategic importance of the Middle Shabelle region in this conflict.
The U.S. has been a key ally in providing financial, military, and humanitarian support to bolster Somalia’s efforts to combat the militant group.
The embassy’s acknowledgment of the bravery of Somali defense forces reflects the shared commitment to achieving stability and security in the region.
This partnership remains critical as Somalia continues to face significant challenges in its fight against insurgency and terrorism.
