This is a great strategy to get the financial and political backing of the arab world wich is dominated by egypt, saudi arabia, UAE and kuwait who's abit neutral in their conflict with the new broker qatar
Having seen how sudan is aligned with qatar and turkey and lacks the rest of the gulf backing, if somali govt secures the gulf states and turkey together will be a great diplomatic achievement!
The somali govt has received yesterday a four modern coast guard boats from the visiting turkish war navy!
What a geopolitical changes! We are witnessing the re-birth of the somali state!
On the other hand, djibouti is plying a good friend role for the govt in the horn and IGAD by using its strategic relations with the US
Since presidents gheles visit to washington, the govt has received more US support by appointing an american ambassador to somalia for the first time in decades!
Djibouti has also involved more in IGAD and AMISOM policies towards somalia
So, having turkey, saudi arabia, UAE, djibouti and behind them the US is a great diplomatical development for hassan sheekhs regime!.
If djibouti is like this what do you think of saudi arabia and the UAE?Top

So sahal is it possible For Somalia to just cancel the agreement they had with Igad, if yes then they should do it!
Igad doesn't own shit let alone our policies!
No. First you need to have three countries who should sort it out from above: turkey, saudi arabia and UAE .
But the last two and mostly the UAE are asking the govt first to move from the qatarian camp and onto their arabic camp
Thus, the govt is balancing all the sides also waits the egyptian elections then it may sacrifice qatar.
