Of all of the SFG’s security units, its US-trained Special Forces are the most professional, disciplined, and effectual. The international peace keeping force, AMISOM, has done a good job fighting Al Shabaab, but the Special Forces are the SFG’s only organic Somali security unit that has proven capable of defeating Al Shabaab battle after battle. The SFG should give the Special Forces full policing authority over Mogadishu and allow them to control Mogadishu’s security policy.
