The United States and the European Union – which are bankrolling the African Union’s intervention in Somalia to support the Mogadishu-based government – have attempted to paper over the disagreement with Kenya over the Jubaland Initiative, despite its potential to fuel further conflict. In fact, Kenya-backed Jubaland forces clashed with Somali government troops in Kismayo earlier this year.
美国和欧盟——它们为非盟干预索马里提供了资金并支持摩加迪休政府——企图掩盖与肯尼亚在朱巴兰计划上的分歧，尽管这有可能助长进一步冲突。事实上，今年早些时候，肯尼亚支持的朱巴兰军队与索马里政府军在基斯马约交过火。
