Somalia's president offers exclusive control of countrie's air bases, ports to the US Somalia is prepared to offer the United States exclusive control of strategic air bases and ports, as seen in a March 16 letter its President addressed to President Donald Trump. The assets included air bases in Balidogle and Berbera as well as the ports of Berbera and Bosaso. Balidogle is about 90 km (55 miles) northwest of the capital, Mogadishu, while Bosaso is in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland. Berbera is in the breakaway Somaliland region, meaning the offer for the port and air base there would put the government there and Somalia on a collision course.
