Soviet-Somali split

After the beginning of the Ogaden War against Ethiopia, a Soviet ally, relations between the countries were severed. In November 1977, the President Siad Barre announced the termination of the 1974 Soviet-Somali Friendship Treaty.[3] Barre subsequently expelled all Soviet advisers, and personally switched allegiance from the Eastern Bloc to the West, particularly the United States.[5] In 1978, Barre railed against Soviet influence in the Horn of Africa at a summit of the Organisation of African Unity.[6]

Modern era

Currently, Russian-Somali relations are at a very low level, with Russia having sent humanitarian aid to Somalia several times.

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Arkady Dvorkovich met with Hassan Ali Khaire within the framework of the Davos Economic Forum.[9]
