President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has called a meeting of regional leaders.
Somalia has long been a divided nation.
Government leaders in Mogadishu have fought for decades to assert authority in many parts of the country.
The power vacuum has left Somalis with little aid as they suffer from drought, famine and insecurity.
Now, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has called a meeting of regional leaders to address the challenges.
So what are the main obstacles preventing the country from coming together? And can they be overcome?
