President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has called a meeting of regional leaders.
Somalia has long been a divided nation.
Government leaders in Mogadishu have struggled for decades to assert authority in many parts of the country.
The power vacuum has left Somalis with little help as they suffer from drought, famine and insecurity.

So what are the main obstacles preventing the country from coming together? And can they be overcome?
