Somalia is currently facing one of the most severe droughts in history, with a looming famine and the possibility of severe loss of life due to hunger, malnutrition, and disease.

China is one of the countries accused of doing illegal fishing in the Somalia waters.

In Somalia, where the needs are extreme, multiple, and urgent, there is no shortage of development projects, but more often than not, this dominates the global view of Somalia. However, this is not the full story.

The Ethiopian Federal Police Commissioner, General Demelash Gebre-Michael signed the agreement with his Somali counterpart, Major General Abdi Hassan Mohammad.

Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the killing of the NISA officer in a statement posted on it's affiliated media outlets.

After an investigation by Human Rights Watch, AFRICOM admitted responsibility for killing Abdi’s niece and injuring his other relatives, who the Americans said were “not visible” during a strike on a “targeted individual.”

In his election campaign, Hassan Sheikh promised Somalia at peace with itself and with the world. He convened consultative talks with the leaders of the five Federal States twice.

During the next few days, the delegation is expected to meet with Defense Minister Abraham Belay on bilateral issues of mutual concern.

Guelleh praised Mohamud's decision to fight against Al-Shabaab and noted that the Djibouti government will continue to support the liberation and state-building process in the country.

The offensive was launched without relying on the African Union forces, who have been reluctant since 2007 to engage in a real war with Al-Shabaab. The AU mission failed to bring an end to the long and costly war.

He commended the UAE’s continuous provision of supplies to various Somali states, including those most affected by drought, since the beginning of the crisis.

The President sent a message to the Somali people and asked them to prepare for the reconstruction of the country after Al-Shabaab's removal from all areas under the group's control now.
