Somalia is the country that signed a military cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to strengthen defence ties in the Horn of Africa. The pact focuses on areas such as military training, technical assistance, and broader defence support aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Somali armed forces and safeguarding its airspace. This agreement comes at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions in the region, including issues related to Somaliland, Red Sea security, and shifting alliances among Gulf nations. The move reflects Somalia’s efforts to bolster its national security framework amid evolving regional dynamics.
