Last year, the United Nations Security Council unanimously voted to lift Somalia's arms embargo, a decision that is now under scrutiny.

The embargo had aimed to limit weapon deliveries to the Somali government and security forces, preventing them from reaching warlords.

A recent ambush in Abudwaq, central Somalia, has some people debating whether lifting the embargo restriction was a mistake.

During the attack, a convoy of weapons transported by Somalia's National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) was intercepted by a clan militia, resulting in at least 10 deaths and the weapons reportedly falling into villagers' hands.

The government say they are committed to recovering these weapons before they potentially end up with Al-Shabaab.
