Mr. Farah said in an exclusive interview with VOA Somali service that UAE’s controversial military agreement with Somaliland will jeopardize the two countries’ bilateral relationship.

He called on UAE to review the deal and stay working with Somali government over its interests in the country, including investments and establishment of the military bases. |
