Abdullahi Mohamed Ali further stated that the meetings addressed the political direction of the proposed alliance, as well as the specific steps it should take. Meanwhile, the Federal Government of Somalia has previously accused the United Arab Emirates of establishing a group in the country modeled after Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—a force that plays a major role in the ongoing conflict in that nation. However, the Somali government has yet to publicly present evidence to substantiate this allegation.
