Wahabiest fundamentalist and Iranian Shia!!! This combination will only resolute the same output in Ira1q and Lebanon.
If Iran comes into the play in Somalia then we expect more chaos in the country.
How these two go together? Salafiyeen & Safawiyuun?
Unprecedented undertaking by Iran, but it seems those Africans at IGAD do not understand the difference.
Good luck to Iran in involving Somalia.
