He argues that competition involving #Turkey, the #UAE, #Ethiopia, #Egypt, and #Israel is adding pressure to an already fragile federal system. With the UN political mission closing and tensions between #Mogadishu and regional administrations unresolved, the risk of prolonged conflict is growing. The author notes that “The greatest danger is the convergence of domestic exclusion, fragmented security institutions, and external rivalries.” @BerhanuAsres
