Yes, we do, the Blue Economy. Here is an excerpt from the FGS. Overview The Somali government has recently proposed an ambitious plan to grow its “blue economy.” The blue economy— referring to the economic activities in the ocean and coastal areas, including fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, shipping, and offshore oil and gas extraction—is seen as a significant future engine for Somali that will help drive economic prosperity. With the longest coastline in continental Africa (bordering both the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean) at approximately 3,333 kilometers, a large Exclusive Economic Zone, and productive marine ecosystems, fisheries and the blue economy could play an essential role in the rebuilding and the stabilization of the country with suitable investment and support. According to the newly renamed Ministry of Fisheries and Blue Economy, the country has about 1,000,000 square kilometers of maritime territory extending 200 nautical miles offshore, but the full economic potential of Somalia’s marine resources has not been exploited. The African Union hails the blue economy as the “new frontier of African renaissance.”

This includes farming and pasture for livestock. After Sudan, S Africa, and Nigeria, Somali territories are the largest farming / agricultural lands in Africa coupled with the longest coastline in Africa. Now, imagine said territories enjoying 500 years of peace time, innovation, trade, and manufacturing.

When we thought we have seen the worse of it, it takes a turn for the far worse.

And the search for surviving / fleeing Dacish leaders / fighters goes on in remote parts of Bari.

At Buq-Caleed, a water purification system, equipment for a complete surgical theatre, and cache of weapons incl. sniper rifles buried underground had been discovered.

More underground bunkers discovered.

A slap in the face. It is as if SW is in a competition in pleasing Habasha. The man has no shame, and is pretending as if he has swagger.

Public support for the troops continues. Badhan provides a new batch of 590 livestock.

This is relevant re Hudson institute, a DoD outlet released its September report. Its conclusion: Consequently, the situation looks less promising than it did at the end of 2022, and al-Shabaab is unlikely to face a meaningful defeat in the coming months. Instead, the best-case scenario would see this military offensive degrade al-Shabaab over the coming months to the point that the terrorist organization partially fractures and loses some of its popular support, possibly opening up room for the FGS to negotiate with factions of the group. A more likely scenario, however, would see the conflict remain a stalemate, with the government’s current offensive bringing only temporary or superficial gains that do not meaningfully degrade al-Shabaab’s capacity. Given the improbability of a decisive military victory in the coming months or even years, the previously taboo notion of negotiating with the terrorists has gained traction in certain Somali political circles of late. President Hassan Sheikh has even oscillated between claiming that the objective of the current offensive is al-Shabaab’s complete battlefield defeat and claiming that the offensive aims to push the group into negotiations. [ ] In principle there is no reason to prefer an endless and fitful counterinsurgency to negotiations, but in practice it would be difficult to secure anything like an acceptable compromise at this stage. Some Somali security sources with knowledge of the group suggested that while al-Shabaab might enter negotiations with international powers, such as the US and Turkey (likely with mediation by Qatar, whose role in Somalia has proven controversial), it has no interest in speaking to the Somali government, which it sees as illegitimate and weak. [ ] At present this looks to be the best-case scenario, though unfortunately not the most likely one. But policymakers would do well to consider scenarios that might be acceptable to their interests rather than buy into unrealistic claims about the impending defeat of Africa’s most powerful jihadist group.
