#2 SOCOM Africa is based in Djibouti so I am not too worried about them pulling a fast one on the West. It sounds more like a power politics move on the Djiboutians part : get the more reasonable Islamists into one place, under guard and in nice quarters, and then Djibouti can make appeals politically to the Islamists' followers regarding Somalia. Plus, any of the Islamists that failed to take the offer are the "unreasonable" whackos, whom then can be killed with a clear conscience by any and all comers.
