Today, I hosted the Heads of State and Government for the Extraordinary Summit of the Troop Contributing Countries to the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia in Entebbe. My message to Their Excellencies was that it is not correct to allow Africa to be diverted again by the disorientation of the politics of identity, especially when it is pursued by force. We always share this sentiment with our Somali brothers and sisters. The clan polarization that some actors promote is poisonous and should be discouraged. Secondly, if there are enough patriots in Somalia, the forces of progress in the world should support them. Those who insist on clan and sectarian organization, whether out of greed (parasitism) or ignorance, are mortal enemies of the future of the African race.
