Washington, August 8, 2009 – The United States said on Friday it would double its flow of arms to Somalia after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saw Somali President Sharif Sheik Ahmed in Nairobi and warned neighboring Eritrea to stop backing the insurgency against him.
Clinton’s meeting was the highest level encounter yet between the two countries.
She called Sharif the best hope of preventing the Horn of Africa from becoming a new global hub for Islamic extremism.
Clinton’s warning to Eritrea amounts to a threat of economic sanctions if it continues funding Islamists in Somalia.
A state department spokesman in Washington said President Barack Obama planned to double its annual supply of arms and ammunition to Somalia from 40 to 80 tones.
