France is building closer ties with Kenya and helping Ethiopia build it's navy. We can offset this bringing in their regional rival, Italy to balance the power dynamics in the Horn. We must also build closer ties to Germany for infrastructure and manufacturing. The Italians had agreements made with the Kacaanka. I wonder what it was:
Mogadishu (HOL) - The Minister of Defense, Hon. Mr. Hassan Ali Mohamed, welcomed his Italian counterpart, Elisabetta Trenta, at the Aden Abdulle International airport in Mogadishu on Monday.
Somali and Italian government have agreed to cooperate on defence and security following discussions in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
An Italian delegation led by Defense Minister, Elisabetta Trenta and Chief of staff, General Enzo Vecciarelli had paid surprise visit to Mogadishu on Monday.
In a statement, Somali foreign ministry said the two sides discussed the depth of bilateral relations and the strengthening of joint cooperation between the two countries, including the reactivation of agreements on defence.
Somalia plans to strengthen its national army with support with its allies to carry out security operations to curb terrorism and to protect it's land, sea and air borders.

Somalia must leverage it's strategic position and play off the world powers. The Americans need to understand we can go to the Chinese axis ASAP. Italy has broken with the rest of the EU and signed on with OBOR. The French are using the Djiboutians to give access to the Injirleys to the Red Sea. This is a blessing in disguise as the French and Italian are now rivals:

Very good move. Italy should help rebuilding SNA and the navy. After all, they trained Barre.

Barre yes, was trained by the Italians and Russians. But he was a native phenomenon. What other politician can leverage the strategic position and wealth of Somalia to it's advantage than Jaale Siyaad did? The SYL era politicians were naive and undereducated. Here, was a man trained in the martial arts and understood Italian, English, and Russian. Truly, a genius which we need in this perilous times. Somalia is now at a major crossroads. Before Ethiopia becomes a truly hegemonic power. We must unify and rebuild the SNA. We have alot of powerful. We can break the UN Embargo like Nazi Germany did and rebuild our forces.
