The strategic position of Somalia makes it an area that requires to be kept stable and safe.
The greater Horn of Africa—including Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda—is a region of strategic importance. It is also a region in crisis.
The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia, backed by Ethiopian troops and air power, completely and swiftly dislodged the Islamic Courts movement from power in the capital, Mogadishu, and in Kismayo, the second major city. As a result, the dangers of a “proxy” war between Ethiopia and Eritrea in Somalia and that of a larger regional war seem to have receded.
It will be recalled that while Ethiopia has been supporting TFG, Eritrea has been supporting the opposing forces.
A look at the map will indicate the geo-strategic importance of the Horn of Africa.
It is important that this positive scenario is reinforced.
