​The Federal Government of Somalia has increased the number of forces tasked with securing the capital, Mogadishu, by reactivating the military-trained police.
​These forces have been spotted at newly established checkpoints conducting vehicle and neighborhood searches.
Security officials state that this move comes after al-Shabaab carried out several attacks in the outskirts and central parts of Mogadishu over the past few days.
​Across most security checkpoints in Mogadishu, police, NISA (National Intelligence and Security Agency), and military forces can be seen operating jointly a measure described as an effort to reinforce the security of Mogadishu, which has experienced significant changes over the past three years.
