XX,

 

I know you're a fan of all things Djiboutian but a little reality check is needed here. The Djibouti troops have been securing Beledweyne (the town) for a while now. What you're referring to is recently arrived reinforcements.

 

As for their competency, there's been criticism of Djibouti's performance within AMISOM. The Ethiopians, who were the previous military administration within the town, have wanted to retreat to the border area for some time but are still unable to do so due to their fears of Djibouti being overrun by Al Shabaab. Therefore, the Ethiopians have been forced to keep their troops on the outskirts of town as a reinforcing force.

 

The joke within AMISOM is that the Djiboutian troops have only increased the 'qat' consumption within the town, not the security situation...

Yeah i know but its better for reer hiiraan to have Djiboutian troops instead of Ethiopians. Even though the Djiboutian forces are under the Amisom command there was only one battalion before in hiiraan. Now the rest arrived i am also hearing news that Djibouti might send another 1000 troops to Somalia. As for their lack of efficiency well time will tell how they secure the Hiiraan region and fill the vacuum, but so good so far.

I agree that it's culturally better for Djibouti to be there than the Ethiopians, however the ineptitude of the Djiboutian Armed Forces is well known around the region.

 

I'm sure you remember Djbouti's performance during the border skirmishes with Eritrea. Eritrea, up to the current day, occupies Djiboutian land. You must also remember Djibouti's request for Rayaale to contribute Somaliland troops (under Djbioutian flag) to patrol the border areas with Eritrea - a request Rayaale promptly refused creating a chill between previous warm relations the two leaders shared.

Ethiopians still control the region and the district, this is nothing but a publicity stunt. As if 100 Djibouti soldiers can fend off Al-Shabaab.

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

I know Djibouti hasn't seen a real war ever other than fighting some afar rebels in the mid 90s and the Border conflict with Eritrea but this is a good lesson for them keeping the security of Hiiraan beledweyne. I mean Alshabaab basically is gone in hiiraan here and there some attacks. The Djiboutians will not be in serious combat they will do more patrolling and keeping the security as peace keepers, while the Ethiopians are on standby outside the city.

Xaaji,

 

The situation is a bit more complex than that (like all things Somali-related). Al Shabaab maintains strong sympathies in that region due to the sidelining by successive Mogadishu governments of a major clan/sub-clan with a significant presence in Hiiraan and parts of Beledweyn. It's by exploiting this clan grievance that Al Shabaab was able to successively move into the town whenever Ethiopian troops withdrew in the past.
