Nairobi (ANTARA News/AFP) - The Somali government`s military forces are ineffective and corrupt, despite international assistance, and it remains dependent on foreign troops for survival, UN experts concluded in a report.

The Monitoring Group on Somalia also said in its report to be presented to the UN Security Council this week that Eritrea continued to support armed Islamist groups fighting the Somali government in violation of an arms embargo.

"Despite infusions of foreign training and assistance, government security forces remain ineffective, disorganised and corrupt," said the report. (*)
