> In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud accused Yemen’s Ansar Allah Houthis of destabilising the region and disrupting navigation through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. He said he would have preferred a united, peaceful Yemen shaping its own future, but argued the Houthis are unable to deliver that.
