Just three years ago, El Niño devastated Somalia. Now another is coming—and the stakes couldn't be higher. @WFP warns millions more people could be pushed deeper into hunger.
The Commander of the Land Forces of the Somali National Army Sahal Abdullahi Omar today welcomed the Commander of the Land Forces of the Republic of Türkiye Metin Tokel at Aden Adde International Airport, where the visiting commander and his delegation were received with full military honours at the start of an official visit to Somalia.
The visit reflects the deep brotherly ties and strategic cooperation between Somalia and Türkiye, whose role in rebuilding, training and developing the Somali National Army has made it one of the country's foremost defence partners. The visit is expected to further strengthen cooperation between the two armies in defence, training and the exchange of expertise, in support of Somalia's security, stability and development.
