Deliberations which will focus on a wellness programme for the FOBs, will also develop a list of bases in need of enhancement and reconstruction: "As AMISOM prepares to handover the security responsibility to the Somali security forces, this conference will come in handy to ensure that 20 FOBs meet the required international standards for security,” Col. Yinka Awolola, the AMISOM Force Engineer said at the official opening of the engineering logistics conference today.
Critical in ensuring effective engineering support to the AU Mission prior to the handover of security responsibilities to the Somali National Security Forces, the conference is expected to come up with firm recommendations to improve future operations. "You are so crucial because you actually determine the operating environment; you shape it; you enable the forces to perform in a better way. You are a force enabler, you are a force multiplier and so, without your skill, without your dedicated support, our forces cannot actually succeed,” the Deputy Head of AMISOM Mr. Simon Mulongo told participants.
He challenged them to ensure adequate technical support to all military activities being undertaken. "With this transition, we need you much more than ever before, so that when we bequeath to the government of Somalia, we have some assets that will remain, as a signature of AMISOM in this country,” he said. The Head of Mission Support Maj. Gen. Fidza Dludlu underscored the importance of ensuring well-fortified military bases. "We need to improve our FOBs; that is non-negotiable. You as sector engineers play a vital role in ensuring that this is complied with.”

Western Intelligence Agencies Oppose the Democratization of Somalia Intelligence Services (NISA) History documents the strong character of the Somali people associated with messy democratic rule that cherishes individual liberty, freedom of expression and opinion, Justice, and private entrepreneurship rather than with autocratic rule. British explorer, Sir Richard Burton wrote in 1856, "the Somalis are fierce race of republicans, constantly changing political loyalties – the Somalis lived in what amounted to a state of chronic, political schizophrenia, verging on of anarchy. Every freeborn man holds equal to his ruler and allows no loyalties or prerogatives to abridge his birthright of liberty." However, Somalis are docile to discipline and obedience if social mediation applied fairly. The appropriate model of government for Somalia is the democratic rule. Full Article
