The front ones are Somalis, the second line are others, unless they are Bantus. but we dont have to worry about that because Sharif will not advance more than the 2 KM he is incapable of running

That website probably made a mistake and used photos of the UPDF soldiers. I see there are Americans (Perhaps AFRICOM) in the ceremony. They usually train UPDF soldiers. Either way, salute to TFG soldiers and UPDF

These guys are not even Somali, how are they going to Police? I dont think there been passed of as Somali, there's no need for that, whats stopping Shariif from taking them legitimately to Somalia? Uganda is loving the Somali conflict, i tell you..there having a huge Pay-day.
There UPDF soldiers
A total of 627 Somali and 120 UPDF soldiers were on Tuesday passed out at Bihanga training school in Ibanda district.

So what are Ugandans doing amidst a "Somali" regiment headed for Somalia. Does Somalia and Uganda have an integrated armed forces now?

Only way to get Soldiers Loyal to the government

I am sure they will do a good job if like shabaab they are allowed to take somali brides.
Incentive for wanting to die on somali soil.
