I understand, and ofc somalia should strengthen ties with arabs.You need to start operating in reality. The EAC is the portion of Black Africa that I was referring too, I remember reading an article claiming that when the EAC becomes a united sovereign state they'll move on to the next stage and push for Black African unification.
In my opinion, we should not shy away from forging stronger bonds with our Natufian cousins in the Arab World & support an EU style org when the time is right. I do not wish for Somalia to join the EAC for obvious reasons.
But do you honestly think the EAC is gonna achieve anything? They can't build a single state that goes on par with even south Africa. There is no such thing as black people in Africa, we are a continent of many peoples. Eac will fall apart or become useless and non functioning if they try move ahead. The things the EAC will achieve means that african leaders will have to give up certain sovereignty and personal power. Do you think Ugandan president will share power with the tanzanians? Absurd.
