So many areas in which the Somali soldiers were trained for 17 weeks. At its end, the soldiers of the 3nd Somali light infantry company received their diplomas on April 7 at a ceremony attended by representatives of AMISOM, the military staff and the international community in Mogadishu.

Important point: the company was not trained by Europeans but by Somali instructors, themselves trained by the EU Somali Army Training Mission (EUTM Somalia) during the fifth training of trainers course .
