The President of the Somali Regional State, Abdirahman Mohammed, discussed with the Commander of the U.S. Special Forces in Africa, Colonel Theodore, ways to enhance security cooperation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden regions, especially regarding the protection of maritime passages and promoting stability in the Horn of Africa. Abdirahman emphasized that the region possesses over 850 kilometers of coastlines along vital sea routes, stressing the importance of coastal security in safeguarding international interests. For his part, Theodore indicated that the United States considers regional stability and the security of maritime trade routes a strategic priority, and that cooperation with Somaliland in combating terrorism, piracy, and organized crime could strengthen maritime security and enable the sharing of expertise with the region.
