Military Africa posted on 21 March 2022 an article titled "China Donates Military Vehicles and Equipment to Somalia" by Patrick Kenyette.
China donated almost $5 million in military equipment, mostly vehicles, to the Somali National Army for use in its fight against the al-Shabaab terrorist organization.
Comment: Chinese construction projects in northeastern Kenya near the Somali border have periodically been subject to attack by al-Shabaab. This donation may be China's way of reducing the effectiveness of al-Shabaab.
