Is Somalia next after Sudan
- Thread starter Gaandheri
- Start date
UAE has militia on payroll. Has bases, and Somali gov gave UAE control over General Gordon military camp as well as the running of the National Army’s recruiting, logistical support & existing military plans.
With this Adminstrastion, there will be no conflict with UAE or their militia, but if there to come another admin, that is not friendly to UAE, what could happen?

Sudan brought Hemedti in willingly to do their dirty work and empowered him, Nothing to do with the UAE
Somalia is an extension of the UAE economically and Ethiopia/Kenya security-wise. Even if the messiah Somalis are waiting for came to power, he could not change this
Yes he could. Just seek another wealthy anti UAE partner.
Somalia isn't similar to Sudan at all
Yes, Sudan is less fragile and has more solid institutions

Each Somali president will make sure to be an ally of UAE. They’ve captured PL, SL, JL and I’m sure by the end of this term will have a few more states and they’ve got now 15,000 well paid troops selected by HSM/Mahad Salad/UPD so will have a strong enough political base in Xamar to oppose any non-cooperative President there too.
Qatar is small fry compared to UAE in Somalia. And I do not foresee any problems unless we see an anti-UAE president like Farmaajo again

What solid institutions?
I understand for a goverment to repel UAE influence they'll have to confront many regions which basically means there's no point in trying. Unless you want a repeat of the civil war,

Yh this is not like other countries where they are fighting for influence hence why you see the chaos in Yemen, Libya and now Sudan. Tripoli, Sanaa and Khartoum are all out of UAE’s control and they’re trying to wrestle control for them.
Every part of Somalia is already under their influence, there’ll only be problems if a Somali president tries removing it

I am not a UAE fan (hence you’ll have seen my support for Libya/Sudan governments that they’re trying to overthrow) and but we need them right now.
Need them for what?

I’ve mentioned a few things above. But right now they’re paying a minimum of $500/month for 15,000 troops (another 10,000 over the next year), they’re training, equipping, bases. That’s something the FGS could never afford.
Also means they effectively control those troops and can use them on the government
I agree but HSM needs to use them to bring Jubaland and Puntland under the hold. I always liked Qatar better not because I was somewhat of N&N supporter but because they actually build schools, roads, and hospitals.
