Page "Technical (vehicle)" Paragraph 10

Technicals played an important role in the 1990s Somali Civil War and the recent War in Somalia ( 2006 – 2009 ).

After the fall of the Siad Barre regime and the collapse of the Somali National Army ( SNA ), it was rare for any Somali force to field heavy armored fighting vehicles.

However, technicals were very common.
