Kenya has already started exploring some of the oil blocks located formerly disputed areas “Kenya rejected the accusation that ownership of the blocks was contested and said there was no need to hold up exploration”

Since Qatar owns a 25% share of Kenya oil blocks, it has already got its ducks in the row by inviting Somalia PM @MohamedHRoble to Qatar. It’s alleged that he has received an undisclosed petro $ to delay the election and make deal with Qatar to become Somalia's Oil trusteeship.
Somalia will have to deal with its former colonialist Italy who is a major owner of Eni and Qatar who “has invested considerable effort into meddling in Somalia’s internal politics and has bolstered its own candidates in Somali elections” mei.edu/publications/f…
Steps Somalia current and future gov should take:
1-Do nothing until the next government is elected.
2-The opposition leaders ( if any left) should issue warning statements to oil companies/ countries making deals with the outgoing government.
3-Get the election done ASAP. End.
