A soldier of the Somali National Army (SNA) stands during a graduation ceremony for platoon commanders and non-commissioned officers at the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) Jazira training facility in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
The recently concluded 10-week course saw the officers trained in military tactics, counter insurgency techniques, weapons handling and international humanitarian laws. Almost 4,000 Somali troops have been trained by AMISOM in Mogadishu and in Uganda as part of an on-going programme to rebuild and train the SNA into a disciplined competent and structured fighting force.
