    tl;dr:

    The results of a high-level donors’ conference for three Horn of Africa countries - Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya - on May 24 were very disappointing. Only in the past few years has Somalia begun to find its footing after three decades of chaos from warlords to the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group and the emergence of Islamic State-linked extremist groups. Last May, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who served as Somalia’s president between 2012 and 2017, was returned to the top office by legislators after a protracted contest. Somalia has faced numerous attacks from al-Shabab and recently the government embarked on what has been described as the most significant offensive against the extremist group in more than a decade. The African Union has a force in Somalia providing support to government forces battling al-Shabab.
