Yes, they're using several abbreviations, without explaining them properly, which isn't ideal. It's likely to keep the article short, which comes at the expense of people unfamiliar with the topic)l/organizations.

Another news site I regularly visit has a small information button besides abbreviations with a popup to explain a term, which also links to Wikipedia. This makes understanding articles about unfamiliar topics way easier.

I’m not mad at it :-) It was written for people who were familiar with the situation and posted in a subject matter specific forum.
