The takeaway thread 🧵 of the former NISA director, Fahad Yasin, on Somali troops in Eritrea:
We choose, Eritrea. The reason we selected Eritrea, is that it's one of the best countries for military training. The Eritrean-trained forces, will be the most trained armed force in Somalia.
The government of Eritrea provided our troops, with state-of-the-art military training. The troops received, all types of military trainings and were trained physically. They will be troops that the country will benefit from, for many years to come.
Somalia troops in Eritrea, have not played a part in the war in Ethiopia. This is fake news, spread by Tigrays and their agents. Tigrays have agents in Somalia, that disseminate lies.
We share a long political history, with Eritrea. They believe, that we assisted them in attaining their freedom. They also believe, that we helped them in their struggle and state-building.
The fact that Eritrea is building our troops, shows the deep love they’ve for the Somali people and the long history we share.
Those that accuse Afwerki of turninginto a dictatorship, are those who had worked for Tigrays. They've no right to interfere, in the internal politics of our country.
We’ve the right to look at the interest that our country can get, from another country. The government of Eritrea contributed the training our armed forces, and we thank them to the highest degree. Before I conclude, I'd like to send my appreciation and gratitude to the Eritrean people and I salute them!
