“Since the liberation from Al Shabab the military forces of Somalia and AMISOM were taking the security of the town, but now the need is for the police force.” the commissioner whispered.
The prime minister of the country’s federal government had earlier pledged to stabilize the liberated regions as part of the grand stabilization plan.
