Sudan War: Gijiaga Incident and Somali Role

The Gijiga incident reveals the existence of hundreds of Somali soldiers being held captive, receiving Saudi-funded training in camps in Tigray and Ethiopia for over a year, with the aim of involving their forces in the Sudanese war. The number of recruits is estimated to be between 180 and 900, out of a group exceeding three thousand recruits, with evidence indicating that the program involves more than five thousand Somali youths trained by contractors from several countries, with some possibly being deployed to the fronts in Sudan. This issue raises questions about the extent of Saudi covert involvement in training and recruiting these fighters, and its impact on the ongoing conflict in Sudan, especially amid reports of the exploitation of youth from Tigray in Ethiopia to send them to fight. Until now, no independent clarification has been issued by the Ethiopian or Somali sides regarding the details of the program or the fate of the recruits after their training.
