somali forces pushed al-shabab out of major population centers. a determined international effort put virtually all of somali's pirates out of business. >> somali is working with members, other countries that pledged to use military force to degrade al-shabab. they have to deal with the fact that there is no long-term military tradition. so kerry wanted to underscore the u.s.'s willingness to help somali develop the military capacity. kerry wanted to deliver the message that the rule of war, and the free expression - both are apparent in any democracy. to that end he made it a point of dealing with people instrumental in trying to make sure that somali has a healthy cultural environment. not one that is a safe security environment. >> rosalind jordan in nairobi

a somally scholar at the university of minnesota joins us via skype. good to have you with us. how important was john kerry's visit to somali. >> i think it was more symbolic than signature. there hasn't been a u.s. secretary there, i don't think forever. the fact he was there for a few hours was more to give blessing to the community forces that have been fighting for al-shabab more than anything else. >> do you believe concerns over al-shabab's reach, especially in minnesota, that is driving the renewed interest on the part of the united states. >> i think significantly so. also because kenya and ethiopia are major allies. and if you heard mr kerry, he said that kenya's presence and occupation is important for the

security of the country and the region. kenya has been destabilize of course and troops na that country, for several years. there's no addressing of that question. so al-shabab becomes, if you like a bandwagon to ride on without supporting the somali security forces to do the work themselves and free the country. >> i spoke to the president of uganda who believes al-shabab is increasingly desperate and weakened. are the african union forces that are involved despite what you said about kenya and ethiopia are they doing a good job about combatting al-shabab and somalia. >> it is important to note that they have been helpful to the somali people in pushing them out of urban centers. al-shabab is able to hit and run terror when and where they want. the only people that will defeat al-shabab are significantly

improved and wealthy security forces. they get something like $700 million from the e.u. and american government. if a fraction was put into 20,000 somali forces we'd be further along the road to peace and security in the country than we are today. >> the u.s. is planning on an ambassador to somali but based in kenya, you mentioned secretary kerry was at the airport for three hours. there's concern about safety. can the visit be seen as a renewed commitment to somali. >> there's no question that the appointment of the new ambassador is a move in the right direction. my thinking is if the new ambassador and the people around her create a new strategy rather than the old strategy tells the somali government that the corruption is not accept ail, and they'll resource somali

security forces. that's a new departure, it's a new person with the same policy. i don't think it will go further than it is today. >> good to have your insights. >> pope francis meets with cuban president on sunday. it comes ahead of a state visit to cuba. castro was in moscow to attend the anniversary celebrations over the victry in nazi germany. jet blue will conduct direct flights much the airline will be the first to offer services since travel was eased. there may be cheaper ways to travel to cuba by boat. for the first time in 50 years the u.s. will allow a ferry service. four companies found out they'll be allowed to make the 90 mile journey. cuba needs its approval for the service. the city of los angeles is suing wells fargo bank accusing
