Somalia, Ethiopia tensions bad for Horn security - US
Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud with CIA Director William J Burns and the National Intelligence and Security Agency Director Abdullahi Mohamed Sanbalolshe in Mogadishu on October 31, 2024.
William J Burns, the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), made an unannounced visit to Mogadishu on Thursday, October 2, on what was billed as a trip to discuss security challenges in the Horn of Africa region.
But officials suggested the CIA chief was in town to lobby for cooperation rather than enmity between Horn of Africa countries with which Washington has close counter-terrorism ties.
