The training is designed to develop and unify the media strategy of the Ministry of Defense and the Somali Armed Forces. The three-day program, led by media experts, is being attended by media personnel from both the Ministry and the Somali National Armed Forces Media. Its goal is to strengthen the capacity to communicate messages related to national security and defense.

Key objectives of the training include unifying the messaging in the fight against Al-Shabaab, building public trust, and raising awareness about combating extremist ideologies. Minister Fiqi emphasized the importance of a unified media force within the Ministry and Armed Forces, stating, "A strong army achieves victories on the battlefield – an informed society wins the entire war." He further noted the need to showcase Somalia’s journey toward peace and self-reliance to both the public and the international community.

In conclusion, the Minister highlighted that the near-term vision is for the Ministry’s Media Center to become a trusted international source for accurate and timely information on Somalia's security and defense. The training also aims to strengthen cooperation and encourage public support for the ongoing campaign to rid the country of Al-Shabaab, ultimately working toward a peaceful and stable Somalia.
