Somalia to re-subjugate its breakaway regions

Somalia will re-subjugate its breakaway regions, its ambassador to Ethiopia pledged in an interview published Saturday. Multiple Somali states have cut ties with the weak federal government and acted independently for years, but now the Somali government is gaining power. This interview indicates a renewed effort to re-subjugate these regions. The violence that could result from such a push could give foreign powers opportunities to manipulate the nation and project power into the Red Sea off its coast.
