"I did my military training in Uganda, where I also trained as a translator. Now I work as a translator for the African Union peacekeeping mission (AMISOM). I started training as a nurse, but because of the fighting I missed too many classes and couldn't finish the course. Three years ago al-Shabaab killed my husband. I was pregnant at the time and the grief caused me to miscarry." Fatima Hassan Nor Galle, TFG Soldier.
