Somalia: not piracy catch all thread

[davidbfpo]

A puzzling and rare BBC report on Somali security forces:

Six hundred members of Jubaland state's police force have recently graduated, hundreds more will soon go through training and, for the time being, their efforts have brought security to the streets of Kismayo.The port city in Somalia's southern-most state has managed to avoid the high-profile suicide car bombings and armed assaults on hotels that the capital, Mogadishu, regularly suffers.

(Later) More than 1,000 national troops are in Kismayo, mostly unarmed and un-deployed because of politics.
