Somalia has restructured its polio programme to end an outbreak and protect communities, per the WHO's Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office.

The effort includes enhanced surveillance and vaccination campaigns in high-risk areas, aiming to prevent further spread of the disease.

Meanwhile, Turkey's political involvement in Somalia risks breathing new life into Al-Shabaab, according to MEforum analysis.

Saudi Arabia's strategic focus on the Red Sea region also highlights Somalia's growing geopolitical importance, as reported by SomaliToday.
