WHAT SSAF SHOULD DO FIRST:
there will be no development if the country is not stable. As a SSAF, your first objective is to control the weapons in the hand of our local citizen,then security of our country will be in it’s place.
To avoid the accusation and prove to the international communities that our country will not be a failure state, we must control the securities of our new nation.
