US military in Somalia

"U.S. military advisors have secretly operated in Somalia since around 2007 and Washington plans to deepen its security assistance" "Those U.S. plans include greater military engagement and new funds for training and assistance for the Somali National Army (SNA), after years of working with the African Union Mission in Somalia, or AMISOM, which has about 22,000 troops in the country from Uganda, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Djibouti and Ethiopia."
