Can Somalia’s New President Fix Its Myriad Problems?
Earlier this month, Somalia’s parliament selected Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed,
a former prime minister, to be the country’s new president. Mohamed,
known by his nickname, “Farmajo,” is popular among the army and is
well-liked by the general public for his efforts to tackle corruption
during his time as prime minister. In an email interview, Ken Menkhaus, a
professor at DavidsoKen Menkhaus: We know Farmajo has support in parliament
because it was the members of parliament who just voted him into
office. The voting offers clues as to the extent of that support. In the

trailing him with 72 votes against Mohamud’s 88.
U.S. Wary of Its New Neighbor in Djibouti: A Chinese Naval Base
DJIBOUTI

pointed at each other’s cities. Their frigates and fighter jets
occasionally face off in the contested waters of the South China Sea.

satellites and cybersnooping to peek inside the workings of each other’s
war machines.
But
the two strategic rivals are about to become neighbors in this
sun-scorched patch of East African desert. China is constructing its
first overseas military base here — just a few miles from Camp
Lemonnier, one of the Pentagon’s largest and most important foreign
installations.
