Jigjiga Detentions Raise Questions Over Saudi-Backed Military Training in Somalia

The detention of newly trained Somali soldiers in Ethiopia’s Somali Regional State has brought renewed attention to a Saudi-backed military training programme in Somalia and raised questions about the future deployment of the forces emerging from it, according to Modern Diplomacy.

The report did not specify the number of soldiers detained, the reasons for the detentions, or the identities of those involved.

It also did not provide details on the status of the training programme or any official responses from the governments concerned.
