    This is why Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates continue to provide financial and military aid to Somalia, and Qatar is providing funding to improve its infrastructure, but with the often-poor results of these Gulf states in Somalia’s elections. It has an effect.

    Security Cooperation: Military Support and Counterterrorism Efforts

    The Gulf states have always stood by Somalia because of good friendly relations. They provide billions of aid to Somalia in famine and drought and similarly provide military and financial aid to Somalia to eradicate terrorism. Among the Gulf states, the United Arab Emirates has announced a package of one billion dollars to end terrorism in Somalia in 2021. This aid package included military equipment and financial aid.

Due to relations with these states, Somalia is receiving military and financial aid. The Gulf states are investing billions of rupees here, which will have a profound impact on the economy of Somalia. Providing military aid will get rid of terrorism in Somalia.

But sometimes Somalia’s foreign policy is highly fragmented due to diplomatic tensions between these Gulf states.
