Military of Somaliland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'The Military of Somaliland personnel is largely composed of three groups':

  1. 'The former Somaliland National Movement (SNM) guerilla fighters who opposed to former dictator Siad Barre's rule.
  2. Militia from communities who themselves opposed the SNM.
  3. Individuals who served in the former dictator's army but did not serve inside Somaliland'.

'The military together with the police get the biggest share of the national budget. Although the United Nations provides assistance towards police force, the Somaliland Military does not get any kind of support, military or otherwise. Their equipment is aging and is composed of the armaments left behind by the fleeing military of the former dictator.'

'The number of people working in the Somaliland Military are over 150,000 personnel.'

'Some military facilities were bought during Egal's administration to assist the military's usual duties and the necessary movements.'
