Abu Dhabi Undermines Somalia's Security: A Reported $500 Million UAE Deal to Withdraw Ugandan Troops and Target Turkish Strategic Projects As Somalia faces a severe security and constitutional crisis, attention is turning to the UAE's agenda in the Horn of Africa. Exclusive sources speaking to Dark Box have revealed a reported Emirati offer worth approximately $500 million to persuade Uganda to withdraw its troops from Somalia. The development comes amid a funding crisis affecting the African Union mission and Türkiye's expanding strategic projects, including offshore oil exploration and the construction of a satellite launch facility. A Dark Box investigation exposes the intersection of Emirati port interests and political influence with the escalating confrontation between Somalia's federal government and judiciary. Somalia's Defense Minister, Ahmed Moallim Fiqi, has accused actors linked to Abu Dhabi of interfering in the constitutional crisis, while meetings involving Somali opposition figures in the UAE have raised serious questions about Abu Dhabi's role in deepening the country's internal divisions. The withdrawal of Ugandan troops raises further questions about the reported Emirati offer and a possible strategy to undermine Somalia's state institutions and obstruct Turkish projects, although the withdrawal alone does not establish that such a plan exists. This raises a critical question: Is Abu Dhabi weaponizing its financial and political influence to expand its regional dominance at the expense of Somalia's sovereignty, security, and economic future? the-darkbox.com/cabb #Somalia #UAE #AbuDhabi #Turkey #Uganda #HornOfAfrica #Mogadishu #SomaliSovereignty #UAEInfluence #DarkBox
