Somali soldiers graduate from commando course in Türkiye
The 8th Commando Training Brigade in Manisa, western Türkiye, held a graduation ceremony for Somali soldiers who completed the basic commando course as part of ongoing military cooperation between Ankara and Mogadishu.
The Turkish Ministry of National Defence announced that the 8th Commando Training Brigade, based in Manisa province in western Türkiye, completed basic commando training for a group of Somali soldiers and held a graduation ceremony for them after they successfully completed the course.
The ministry said military training cooperation with Somalia, a friendly and brotherly country, is continuing. It congratulated the graduates and wished them success in their duties.
During the ceremony, the Somali graduates, wearing red berets, carried the Turkish and Somali flags side by side and staged demonstrations of marksmanship, building-entry and close-quarters defence, showcasing the skills they acquired during the course.
Türkiye has supported the rebuilding of the Somali army for years. The TURKSOM military training centre in Mogadishu, opened in 2017 and regarded as Türkiye's largest military training facility abroad, has helped train thousands of Somali soldiers. Turkish armed forces are also deployed in Somalia as part of the Naval Task Force.
