That doesn't change anything; the Italians will still be a privileged minority defended by the Colonialists. No matter who runs the place, the colonial authorities #1 concern will be "protecting the white folks."Maybe a post Italian-Rule stable-democratic Somalia which somehow comes to be dominated more by the former British part?
I know that is very unlikely considering the Italians have Mogadishu and would likely have more power vs the British, so there needs to be a POD either swapping which side gets what part of Somalia in the 19th century, or the British wrangle into power like the Boers in South Africa.

And an Italian-Rule stable-democratic Somalia is an oxymoron. Italy cannot run a democratic Somalia, as a democratic Somalia's first action will be to declare independence from Italy.

The British aren't going to harass Italians in the colonies. If they do that, the Italians will leave. In the Colonies, White was Right no matter the issue. Italians will be provided full colonizer benefits, as they were IOTL during the British occupation of Italy's African holdings.The idea was the "mafia" protects the Italian whites from British whites while the democratic and egalitarian-ish "democratic" government of Somalia doesn't cause a white-flight.
Maybe having Britain take Somalia after a war with Italy for some reason.

Communist Revolution in Italy makes Italian colonists rather be semi-annoyed by the Brits rather than go home to Red-Italy?
IMO white in-fighting with black apathy is the best way to create an Italian Mafia in Africa.
Weren't they that in the USA OTL?. . . a disliked minority in a far-off land . . .

The Mafia evolved in the United States
