President Sheikh Mahmoud works to bring back soldiers from Eritrea

 Speaking to Somali Cable Television, Somali presidential spokesman Abdikarin Ali Kaar answered a number of questions from various guests invited to the panel discussion.

Abdikarin Ali was asked about the young people in Eritrea who are in a heated debate, as there are reports that he is believed to have $ 50 million. The spokesman denied the allegations, calling the allegations "false and politically motivated".

"In Somalia, Uganda has trained troops, Egypt has been trained, Sudan has been trained, Turkey has been trained, even some officers have been taken to Europe, men have been taken to America, have you ever seen a Somali soldier with money ? ” said a spokesman for the national presidency. He added: "It's a no-brainer. It's just a rumor and it doesn't make sense."

He also announced that the 5,000 youths will soon be repatriated to the country and will take part in the fight against Al-Shabaab. "These soldiers are Somali soldiers. They are coming today. There is no day when they are needed. We hope they will take part in the liberation of the country."

The statement comes days after parents of boys taken to Eritrea staged a rally in Mogadishu, demanding that the new president help them find their missing child for several years.
