Daacadnimadu waa in mar walba loo aqoonsadaa heerka aasaasiga ah ee howlgalka EUTM Somaliya. Ficil kasta, go’aan kasta, iyo wada-shaqeyn kasta waxaa hagaya run-sheegid, anshax wanaag, iyo u hoggaansanaan adag oo la xiriirta heerarka Midowga Yurub iyo kuwa caalamiga ah. Ku dhaqanka qiyamkan wuxuu hubiyaa in shaqada howlgalka ay ahaato mid lagu kalsoonaan karo, masuuliyad leh, oo ay ku qancaan hay’adaha, dowladda, iyo bulshada Soomaaliyeed.
Iyadoo daacadnimada lagu dhex-darayo tababarrada, hawlaha talo-bixinta, iyo iskaashiyada hay’adaha, EUTM Somaliya waxay xoojinaysaa muhiimadda xirfaddanimada, isla-xisaabtanka, iyo hoggaaminta anshaxa leh ee ciidamada amniga Soomaaliyeed. Habkani ma aha oo kaliya mid kordhiya waxtarka howlgalka, balse sidoo kale wuxuu dhisaa kalsoonida iyo sharciyadda qaab-dhismeedka amniga.
Iyadoo ay ka go’an tahay daacadnimo joogto ah, howlgalka wuxuu gacan ka geystaa dhismaha waax amni oo hufan, lagu kalsoonaan karo, isla markaana isla-xisaabtan leh, taasoo taageerta nabad iyo xasillooni waarta oo ka hanaqaada Soomaaliya.
Ku go’an iskaashi.
U heellan xasillooni.
Midnimo u ah horumar.
