I went to this site and it said that the PLANAF was using the less advance JL-9. I forget the name of site.

Anyway, the L-15 will definitely compete with other advance trainers like the T-50 and Yak-130.

This plane can be sold in Africa as they can't afford fighter jets and it will be a cheaper option.. even in Sri Lanka.

L-15 is not ready yet that time. And PLANAF are desperate for a new trainer which JL-9 are chosen first as a interim solution until L-15 enter service.

Isn't it unusual for a jet trainer to have twin engines?

Why are Russian engines (2 × Ivchenko Progress AI-222K-25) used? What happened to the Chinese engines?

Just like any Chinese jets, those Ivchenkos and many Russian engines are interims. I am not sure what Chinese engines are gonna be used...

Temporary, the indigenous turbofan for the L-15 comes around 2015. No trainers aircraft's like the Yak-130 and M-346 have twin engines.

I remember AI-222-25F jet engine from Ukraine, not Russia.
