Some of the Ethopian army which recently drove the Jihadis out of Somalia’s capital were trained by the 1st ID’s 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment and the Guam Army National Guard:
"The…training is part of a larger U.S. effort aimed at preventing Islamist militants from gaining a foothold in a region that has been plagued by poverty, armed conflict, drought and famine…(It) has taken on added urgency recently, with the Ethiopian military’s battle against Muslim militants in Somalia, and the ongoing threat of war with its breakaway rival, Eritrea."
Rest here.
