Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo will on Thursday jet off to Djibouti for what an insider has told Radio Dalsan the first stage to initiate talks between Eritrea and Djibouti.

According to a source at Villa Somalia Farmaajo had offered to arbitrate between the two countries when he met in Mogadishu Eritrea’s delegation composed of Foreign Affairs Minister Osman Saleh and Isias Afworki Adviser Yeman e G/ab.

Farmaajo will meet his counterpart President Ismail Guelleh.

Eritrea has agreed for Farmaajo to lead the arbitration talks.

This is Djibouti's chance to get back the POWs that Eritrea has been holding hostage for so many years. This could even be a good opportunity to solve the territorial dispute.

Eritrea is eager to please the world after suffering brutal sanctions for so many years and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It wouldn't make sense for them to continue their belligerence towards Djibouti. But now they are competing with each other for port business so who knows what will happen.
