The Somali President has officially requested the Arab Republic of Egypt to provide military assistance for the armed forces of Somalia.

In the same interview, the Somali president informs the public that thousands of Somali specialists, soldiers, and officers, have been recently trained or are currently undergoing training by Egyptian forces.

Apparently, the Ethiopian government has released some statements, implying that Egypt will soon send "lethal military aid" to Somalia after the expiration of the UNGSC sanctions that were imposed on Somalia for 31 years.

Important to note that even during the 31-year UN sanction, Egypt has sent limited military aid to Somalia to help combat the shortage of ammunition and weapons the security organs were facing.

Somalia’s president visited Qatar amid row over Ethiopia’s port deal

Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud travelled to Qatar on Monday, engaging in what appeared to be a diplomatic shuttle, which comes amid Ethiopia’s expansionist ambitions bearing consequences for Somalia.

In a high-level meeting in Doha, Somali President and Qatari Emir Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani reaffirmed their nations’ strong bilateral ties and voiced firm opposition to the recent agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland.

Mohamud expressed deep gratitude for Qatar’s “fraternal decision” to uphold Somalia’s unity and independence. He praised Qatar for being among the “brotherly countries” taking a clear stance against the deal between Ethiopia and Somaliland.

Emir reaffirmed Qatar’s support for the Somali government, emphasizing “the potential dangers of regional instability”. He warned that dividing Somalia could cause significant security implications for the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea.
