    This visit coincides with an ongoing military training program for Somali soldiers in Eritrea, highlighting the defence collaboration between Somalia and Eritrea. The training program has already facilitated the return of trained Somali military personnel.

    Before his departure, President Mohamud took time to acknowledge the victims of a recent attack by Al-Shabaab on the SYL hotel on Thursday. He bid farewell to 18 individuals, comprising government officials, legislators, military officers, and civilians, all injured in the assault and now en route to Turkey for medical care.
