First, it is important to understand that while Abdi Said Muse may be a former foreign minister and national security adviser, the sentiments he expressed in his BBC interview align with the leadership in Mogadishu. In this interview, he is a messenger, tasked with delivering this message on their... behalf. Secondly, Mogadishu, much like an amateur poker player, overplayed its hand regarding the Somaliland-Ethiopia Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and failed miserably. In a last-ditch effort, they are attempting to bluff their way back into the game by threatening to unleash Al Shabab, ignoring the fact that Al Shabab has never been under anyone’s leash. Instead, Al Shabab containment has been by the combined efforts of frontline states like Ethiopia, Kenya, and ATMIS forces, who deserve the credit for these efforts. Lastly, this interview confirms what Somaliland has been telling the international community for many years: there is a revolving door between Mogadishu leadership and Al Shabab. Both entities view each other as crucial to their survival. Despite receiving billions of dollars from the international community, Mogadishu shows little interest in adopting a coherent strategy to combat Al Shabab. Instead, they prefer to maintain the group's existence to ensure their own survival and relevance. Consequently, it is highly unlikely that anyone, including the international community, who are already tired of Mogadishu, will fall for this amateur bluff.show more

@somalilandmfa @DrEssaKayd @AmbRhodaJElmi @musebiihi @MoICNG @AliHassanMoham Mogadishu will always be after the Rep of Somaliland if the politicians of RSL behave like a de facto entity.Everything you write, as elaborate as it might seem, will not matter. De facto States must first get independence from their parent States. Is somalia your parent State?

@somalilandmfa @DrEssaKayd @AmbRhodaJElmi @musebiihi @MoICNG @AliHassanMoham What is your government's plan to counter the threats posed by terror militias in the region? How much longer will you be reactive instead of being proactive?

@somalilandmfa @DrEssaKayd @AmbRhodaJElmi @musebiihi @MoICNG @AliHassanMoham Tell them Mujahid, Preach. Please retract all documents signed with the de facto status, and work with IC to show your de jure status. This is how you will silence the propaganda from Somalia to claim your country.

@somalilandmfa @DrEssaKayd @AmbRhodaJElmi @musebiihi @MoICNG @AliHassanMoham Somaliland can be classified as a state that sponsor terrorism due to the number of high ranking terrorist leaders from Hargeisa.

@somalilandmfa @DrEssaKayd @AmbRhodaJElmi @musebiihi @MoICNG @AliHassanMoham Il ne mérite pas que vous lui donniez autant d’importance adeero. Il fallait pas lui répondre en faisant couler autant d’encre car ça montre qu’il a touché votre point névralgique. Le chien aboie et la caravane passe. May ALMIGHTY Bless you ans JSL.

@somalilandmfa @DrEssaKayd @AmbRhodaJElmi @musebiihi @MoICNG @AliHassanMoham Somalia has failed in its previous attempts to derail this MOU, and is now once again implementing a very dangerous plan to use terrorist groups it has previously secretly worked with.
