    In this Sunday, April 1, 2018 photo, containers are loaded onto a cargo ship at the Port of Berbera, run by DP World, which is majority-owned by the Dubai government in the UAE, in Berbera, Somaliland, Somalia. The breakaway northern region of Somaliland declared its independence nearly three decades ago, but despite having its own currency, parliament and military the predominantly Muslim country hasn’t been recognized by any foreign government. President Muse Bihi Abdi is hoping to change that by aligning his country’s interests with energy-rich Gulf Arab states eager to expand their military footprint in the Horn of Africa.

    FILE-In this Friday, May 4, 2018 file photo, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, centre, looks at his phone during a ceremony for the re-opening of the Spice Bazaar following restoration in Istanbul. Thousands of people took to Twitter, Tuesday, May 8, 2018, to say "that's enough" to Erdogan who is running for re-election on June 24 presidential elections.
