The somali president has received today the new russian ambassador to somalia(woow big permanent country in the security council)
Mogadishu is back to the global geopolitics!
the russian ambassador to somalia presenting his credentials to the somali president hassan sheekh
Both The UN and IGAD have released press statements in support of the somali govt position from the baydhabo conference.
I think I should post my analysis on the turkey and UAE involving in the somali security strategy backed by america, their initiative is about to concentrate on the somali army rather then losing millions of $$$$ on the unserious amisom wich was given their last chance to finish their operations within this year when their mandate ends.
UAE to Help Somalia Rebuild Its Army
The Government of UAE will help Somali government to rebuild its army, which has endured more than 20 years of chaos and war.
Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed is on an official visit to Dubai, and has met top government officials of the UAE and also discussed on ways of strengthening the bilateral cooperation and continuation of the UAE humanitarian aid assist.
”My trip is aimed at strengthening the already close relationship between Somalia and the UAE. The UAE is a great friend and supporter of Somalia, taking an active part in rebuilding our government institutions and infrastructure and aiding social and youth development,” he said in a Press statement.
In March 2013, Somali government and UAE signed a memorandum of Understanding on Bilateral cooperation. The agreement renews formal diplomatic ties between the two countries, and also focuses on the political, security, economic, investment and development sectors.
I think the UEA part was in another analysis after this, will check though.
"the new designers of the somali strategy

The governments of US and turkey are now the designers and the implementers of the somali policies
Turkey is a very important country in the middle east, from one hand they have this intervention role in syria and on the other hand they have this mediation role between america and iran wich is about the iranian nuclear program. Israel is againist this role since they don't trust the intentions of the turkish pm erdogan who is anti-israel and want for iran to suffer from a futher isolation.
I once thought that many somali issues don't concern the somali president in the first place but after seen how they keep asking him these issues in every where I found out that its indeed part of his current political progam though I know It was part of his 6 pillar policy...he has to get them done before his term ends in 2016 so that the second phase of the permanent govt and the self-dependent strong somalia can be established when there is no more the likes of the UN envoy who had only a mandate of two years
To reach these goals, there are now a serious westren intentions to empower the somali govts institutions such as the army.
For some years ago, the countries that were know as the international partners of somalia had given the mandate to the uk govt for supporting somalia, this has resulted a lot of international conferences on somalia wich have diplomatically helped the somali govt and mogadishu is full now with a global embassies that have strated after the william hagues visit
Turkey and the uk are historical and economical rivals behind the scenes
The uk govt may operate indirectly in the form of a UN-nick kay- it was was behind the security councils draft to partially lift the arms embargo on the somali govt however, since the somali presidents second visit to washington, the responsibilities for supporting somalia seem now to have fallen on the shoulders of the US and turkey
John kerry is defferent than william hugue, the uk is economically motivated and has mostly this aid intervention approach towards somalia while the US has a security approach in the first place and is looking for an ally country.
There is the likelihood of the turkish role getting bigger by the end of this year and involving in the security strategies of somalia but before that they will equip the arm from a far places"

Like I revealed in my the thread the designers of the somali strategy that they are nowadays america and turkey. Emirate is also getting to be a friend of somalia but her role hasn't yet established.
Turkey will involve in the security strategy of somalia by the end of this year if amisom didn't remove al shabaab totally. The turkish initiative will be about building the somali army itself instead of losing money on the unserious amisom who don't want their contract to come to an end. America is a close ally of turkey and they work together in the middle east."
