#Somalia: At least 12 military flights carrying #Emirati soldiers and 250 RG-33 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles have been landing at Puntland's #Bosaso Airport on the Gulf of Aden secretly since early last month, security sources told @GaroweOnline. @modgovae. 
The GO sources add that the Emirate soldiers estimated at 180 in number are stationed at the bases of the PMPF, the #UAE-trained & funded maritime police force in the coastal city of Puntland, NE #Somalia.
It remains unknown if #Somali Govt is aware of the UAE troops' arrival in Bossaso, which comes at a critical time when the term of Puntland's current president Deni is ending and the State is facing a political stalemate over a planned controversial municipal election. #Somalia.
