But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

ETHIOPIA BORDERS ON SOMALIA
US military support for Somalia – US President Barack Obama, has said Somalia will receive military assistance from the US in order to bolster security and stability in the Horn of African nation.
A US State Department statement, made available to PANA in New York on Tuesday, said Obama made this known in a memo on Monday to the US Secretary of State, John Kerry.
It quoted Obama in the memo as stating: 'I hereby find that the furnishing of defence articles and defence services to the Federal Republic of Somalia will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace'.
It also disclosed that the President directed Kerry to apprise the US Congress of the development.
PANA reports that the statement did not indicate the details or types of military materials and services to be provided to the Somali government.
The UN Security Council had on 6 March partially lifted the decades-old arms embargo on Somalia for one year to help the country in its fight against the armed al-Shabab group.
