For a better understanding of this visit, let us back to our old thread to see what has changed so far since the invitation. I know he is attending the UN summit but this was just a good time.
Firstly america has strongly welcomed hassan sheekhs accession to the power but at a time when the politics were on the verge of agravation they contacted with him and their clues were back then not too adjacent with his long term policies however he insisted all of his short term and long term plans and the agenda was postponed to this visit
Now, since the invitation, there have been a good political accomplishments like the peace agreements, reconciliations, national conferece vision2016...all of these accomplishments have been welcomed internationally.
This makes him a capable leader who can deliver his own national policies...however, it looks like the implementation could have a different tactics to make it more adjacent and central where the president plays dowr al bu toula(the starring role) and the speaker or the pm saying different things that goes along with their bases according to the tawzeec al adwaar policy( distibution of roles)
Some groups have won over others because of some situation and have been told to wait for the post-interim era as nothing states now anything except an agreement...are these groups preparing now for the contra attack where the world can hear their voices? anyways it was a political accomplishment for the govt.
as the president has sorted out his national issues it seems that they would care now only about having an ally just like many other leaders and the latest political support of funding the somali democracy shows getting the green light.
The american political support would include military aid as john kerry himself stated it before.

I'm the source.
Kenya and ethiopia are somalias most influential external players, these two countries are againist strong somali central state and told this to the west for a long time.
They only accept a fragmented somalia with some regions closely linked to them.
These two countries are the driver behind the federalism, thus, the somali politics should be fragmented along tribal lines based on three federal tribal states... Puntland, mogadisho and jubbaland
These countries have sent a lot of secret reports about somalia to the west, using the jihadist, refugee and security cards and indeed had a significant influence on them.
Though the westreners didn't approved all their suggestions but still all their clues about somalia are from these countries and this is why hassan sheekh is confronting all these external problems
Somalias hassan sheekh would be vastly different if these external problems were removed
Wikileaks report on these contacts on somalia
DAS Wycoff told Wetangula that the USG
continued to strongly oppose the Kenyan "Jubaland" initiative as a
bad idea that would more likely add to Somalia's instability than
to help stabilize the country. Wetangula defended GOK plans to
pursue its Jubaland (southern Somalia) initiative, implied that it
was in evolving concept, and offered to facilitate better USG
understanding of Kenya's plans.
Now what is the american position?
America has approved on hassan sheekhs 6 pillars policy in order to maintain stability and peace first but there is some clash between them wich is about the federalism. The US has asked him to appoint his interim governors but after this term ends has to bring the system closer to a genuine federalism by holding a regional elections...
All that is agreed, the problem is that Hassan sheekh wants the govt to control the port revenues in the federalism era so he refused to listen to their clues saying that he will rather resign than grant the federal states this status specifically in the south
The reason is that he fears such a federal state will have contracts with foreing countries on its port and resources and though getting and interim support he doesn't want to sign what could damage him in the long run.
