Frontier Services Group (FSG) , co-founded by Erik Prince who created the U.S. security firm Blackwater, said on Thursday it would provide logistics, aviation and security services for a regional development project in Somalia.
The president of the South West State region, Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden, said in a statement that the project was part of the region's move to attract local and foreign investors.
(These "investors are UAE, the ones waiting patiently in the background.)
Some investment has started returning to Somalia as it recovers from two decades of conflict, but much has come from Somali expatriates and most has focused on Mogadishu. Some Turkish and other foreign firms are among the new investors.
"The project will include an integrated solution of air-land-sea logistics capabilities and advanced security management," FSG said in a statement about the deal."
South West State's plans include building a seaport, airport, residential areas and setting up agricultural zones, FSG said in its statement.
"The Lower Shabelle region, which also lies in South West state, has also suffered clashes between two big, rival clans."
(Could this be a way to stoke future tribal conflict in mineral rich areas?)

My theory:
UAE are using Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden, in order to divide and conquer Somalia for their own economic interests.
It was rumored that Farmaajo was intent on fully blocking that deal, no matter what the arabs offered him.
He is right to deny UAE any ports in Somalia, as even the Americans have in the past had "security concerns" about DP World managing stateside ports.

UAE have convinced Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden, to hire card carrying KKK member and Christian crusader, Erik Prince, in order to push through the Barawa Port deal by force, and eventually allow South West State to directly deal with UAE for the off-shore blocks, by completely bypassing the Federal government.

"Erik Prince has been in the thick of this right wing effort to unite conservative Catholics, evangelicals, and neoconservatives in a common theoconservative holy war—with Blackwater serving as a sort of armed wing of the movement."
"The Intercept has revealed that the Justice Department is investigating Blackwater founder Erik Prince for possible money laundering, ties to Chinese intelligence, and attempts to broker military services to foreign governments. Prince is currently the chairman of Frontier Services Group, an aviation and logistics firm specializing in shipping in Africa. But documents obtained by The Intercept show that Prince has also set up shell companies to offer paramilitary services to at least a half-dozen African nations."
"Prince has also long been interested in raising a private military force to battle Islamic militant groups in a variety of countries."
Erik Prince believes that he's on mission to Christianize the entire world, and that only HIS holy crusaders can do the job. One of the spiritual warfare techniques that they used, is to carve a Christian cross on every single bullet that his mercenaries use. They believe this "cleanses and babtizes the soul of the infidels."

"The U.S. security firm formerly known as Blackwater faced new damaging allegations about its behavior in Iraq Friday after two former employees accused the firm's president of seeking to "wipe out Muslims and Islam" as part of his crusade in Iraq, U.S. weekly magazine The Nation reported Friday.
The former employees claimed in sworn affidavits lodged in a Virginia court that their boss Erik D. Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," the oldest U.S. weekly magazine reported.

This is terrible news for the entire Somali people. Farmaajo must block this, or it could possibly be the final nail in the coffin for Somali sovereignty. Somalia CANNOT compete or fight back against such a powerful private military with endless funds.
