High school graduates were taken into abroad although their parents
were informed that these students are supposed to get university, but
the students were misled and led to the neighboring country of Ethiopia
early 2007 where they had taken military training in Ethiopia.
When
government army finished their training course, they returned to the
capital Mogadishu and they were named “Copy” which was meant that where
like Ethiopian soldiers in many shapes, physical structures and walking
also and so did other Somali soldiers who have been trained in Uganda,
Kenya, and Sudan.
United Nations for development programs ‘UNDP’ is responsible for
whole salary payment of the transitional federal government’s army but
what about the fact of this issue in giving salaries to the military and
police.
The army is divided into many categories, but there are two major
parts: military and police and UNDP pays salaries of the police only
which are also two sections, ones who get salary and others who don’t.
These
are told that they would give salary of $100, but they don’t get money
monthly payment and they are given $700 once in seven month’ salaries,
hence how can a government soldier who was told being government army
and became lack of salary of seven months’ period act?
The result is that every soldier among the police searches for a way
to survive by trying to find his daily bread with the gun AK47 robbing
and going through people wherever they are in buses, streets and their
business centers.
When the transitional federal government
takes attacks against Islamist militias, it sometimes advances and
captures more positions from its opponents in the morning, but in the
mid day government soldiers return from frontlines to where they could
get Kat they consume or chew and at the sometime government officials
held press conference saying that they have occupied many areas that
rival group control while they Islamist militias reach the scene
immediately.
Similarly military army are seen inside
the streets walking and roaming as police being not in better position
and their suitable camps because they are disappointed of how their
role in the country was lost.
The strange story is that
government military and police fight in the town and their clashes cause
death and wound that would later be solved by government chief
commanders but what is to be asked is that government’s satisfaction
with the inefficiency of the military and police and lack of salaries of
government soldiers.
