Since we like Ismail Omar Gelle, we can learn how he managed to keep the infestation of interfering neighbours at bay.
As for Rwanda and Paul Kagame, that country should be a ROLE model for Somalia. That is my favourite East African nation.
Guelleh used same tactics as Emperor Menelik II to counter, balance and play each against rival powers.
For example he used Ethiopia against Eritrea and Eritrean refusal to do business with Ethiopia against Ethiopia (hurry sign up the port before window of opportunity closes).
He then used the French against Ethiopian politics as well any chance of Afar uprise.
He then used the Americans against the French and forced them to drop the legal battle against Guelleh over the killing of French ambassador/spy/lawyer.
He is now bringing the Chinese to keep the Americans behaving all while having the Japanese to keep their eyes on the Chinese.
That's master tactician and that's how Menelik both expanded Ethiopia and kept the Europeans and Americans on his side.
Now Guelleh is going beyond Ethiopian reliance thus the visit to Rwanda.
Very clever man indeed.
Cullusow will never be 5% of that.
Paul is another genius and even superior thinker thank Guelleh. Paul keeps his minority Tutsi dominating the mineral rich region while his economic model in Rwanda is unlike any in Africa.
The two deserve to be allies.
