Afars were taught a lesson.

Most likely. They don't have the money to buy more weapons and replenish the material losses. Only the UAE is willing to foot the bill.

Do you know the price range for a bungalow?

He endorsed Genocide Jane. He endorsed her!

No. The drilling is offshore. Only the Turks will protect the whole operation from drilling to production. In some ways, this is better. It is easier to deal with a state than with some obscure company riddled with corruption. Those weapons were meant to undermine Qoorqoor and help his opponents. Some of them are also going to HSM's sub-clan Wacesyle. That's the rumor anyway.

No one knows! And this time, the parliament backed HSM under the defense pact.

I believe in free speech, but there should be some sort of consequence for this behavior. https://x.com/Salman_afgub/status/1814379113689350585

Even camel raiders exercise some judgement considering the ramifications. Let's see what happens tomorrow. I understand Abiib will be going to Borama.

It almost like Biixi does not want Somaliland to be there after he leaves. The disrespect and threats coming from Hargeisa mirrors that of SSC. Phrases being thrown include: Reer Awdal can't fight. They take our taxes. They are a minority. Big departure from condescending reer Awdal are aqooyahano. Somaliland will regret they did not force Bihi to resign after Goojacadde.

Turkey moves to deploy navy to Somali waters after new defence deal Erdogan is seeking authorisation for troop deployment to Somali territorial waters as Ankara set to conduct maritime exploration activities there. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan introduced a motion to the Turkish parliament on Friday, seeking authorisation for the deployment of Turkish troops to Somalia's territorial waters. This move follows a defence and economic cooperation deal between Turkey and Somalia, signed in February, aimed at bolstering Somalia's maritime defence capabilities and establishing a navy for the African nation. The secret deal was reportedly concluded in response to Ethiopia's agreement with the breakaway state of Somaliland in January, which grants Addis Ababa the right to build a military port there. Earlier this month, Turkey hosted foreign ministers from Somalia and Ethiopia, in an attempt to mediate and resolve the ensuing crisis. Although the meetings ended with a joint declaration expressing a willingness to engage, sources told Middle East Eye that Ethiopia, despite initiating the mediation, showed strong reservations and reluctance to progress. The Turkish foreign ministry has declined to comment. This development has apparently accelerated Turkey's commitment to Somalia. On Thursday, Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar signed a hydrocarbon exploration and production agreement with his Somali counterpart, Abdirizak Omar Mohamed, in Istanbul. This agreement authorises Turkish state company TPAO to conduct exploration activities in three different blocks within Somali maritime areas. Observers in Ankara say the government might have moved to send troops to protect TPAO ships that would conduct drilling operations in Somali waters in the coming months. The motion presented to the Turkish parliament requests a two-year mandate, subject to renewal, granting President Erdogan the authority to deploy the necessary troops, which in this case would likely come from Ankara's naval forces. According to the motion, which was seen by Middle East Eye, this action is in response to a formal request from the Somali government. "Turkey's support will include assistance against terrorism, piracy, illegal fishing, smuggling, and other threats," the motion states. "The UN Security Council's resolution of December 1, 2023, on Somalia's fight against terrorism, also provides a legal basis for this cooperation." The motion directly references the February agreement with Somalia as a basis for these actions. Although Somalia has formally ratified the deal, its contents have remained secret until now. Erdogan’s government has yet to present the deal to the Turkish parliament for its own ratification process. According to the memorandum accompanying Erdogan's motion, Somalia's defence and security forces, despite having sufficient personnel and resources, struggle to fulfil their duties effectively due to economic challenges. The February agreement is designed to enhance Somalia's capacity to manage its maritime jurisdiction areas and integrate marine resources into the Somali economy. The motion also underscores the importance of securing Somalia's economic resources and contributing to regional stability and security for Turkey's foreign trade and maritime transportation interests. "The deployment of Turkish Armed Forces will be coordinated with Somali authorities and will cover Somalia's maritime jurisdiction areas," the motion adds. Ankara’s ties to Somalia, which began in 2011 when Erdogan visited famine-stricken Mogadishu, have evolved from a humanitarian initiative to a comprehensive security and commercial partnership. Somalia now hosts Turkey’s largest overseas military base. Additionally, Turkey’s sale of armed drones to Ethiopia in 2021 played a significant role in Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s efforts to defeat Tigray forces in Ethiopia’s civil war.

It was always the wild wild west. Re-imposing the arms embargo will harmstring future governments that might do right by the country.

What Sland politician doesn't?

No!

HSM and co, It is a case of tuug la qabtay talo maleh. They want their weapon back, but don't want to admit to smuggling the weapons. Qoorqoor who they were planning to kick out threw them under the bus.

Mogadishu (HOL) - Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud chaired an extraordinary meeting of the National Security Council in Mogadishu on Thursday following the looting of two truckloads of weapons in central Somalia on Monday. Prime Minister Hamsa Abdi Barre, Deputy Prime Minister Salah Ahmed Jama, and the Ministers of Justice, Defense, Foreign Affairs, Finance, and Internal Security attended the meeting, along with commanders of military forces, intelligence, and police, the national security adviser, and the director of the presidential palace. Security agencies and National Security Adviser Hussein Macalin briefed the council about the weapons looted in the Abudwak district in the Galgadud region on Monday, July 15, 2024. During the meeting, the council instructed the Ministry of Internal Security to submit a detailed report and recommendations on illegal weapons smuggling into the country. They called for those responsible to be held accountable and for measures to prevent such incidents in the future. The council agreed to finalize the National Policy on Arms Purchase and submit it to the Council of Ministers immediately. They also agreed to ban the sale and trade of firearms. They urged the Ministry of Justice and law enforcement agencies to quickly prosecute all those involved in this illegal activity. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud stressed the importance of strictly implementing the Arms and Ammunition Control laws, emphasizing that the success in lifting the arms embargo is fundamental to implementing the government's Arms Control Policy. At least 12 people were killed in the Abudwak district as government soldiers and local militias fought over two truckloads of weapons illegally brought over the border from Ethiopia. The incident occurred in Shiilamaow village, about 20 kilometers northwest of Abudwak, close to the Ethiopian border. The Internal Security Ministry reported that government security forces had seized the weapons from "illegal weapons traders" and were escorting them when armed militias erected a checkpoint and intercepted the arms. The local militias overpowered government forces after receiving reinforcements from clan members, the official added. The arms that fell into civilian hands included DshK and PKM machine guns, AK-47 assault rifles, pistols, and ammunition, according to a security official.

Ethiopia exists only in Addis Abeba, the Somali region, Afar region, and southern regions. The rest of the country is controlled by various groups with contradictory goals. It will take a lot of work to keep it together.

My bad, I got the dates wrong. His unpredictability would pose a challenge for foreign policy makers. I agree he would abandon places like Somalia, Iraq and Somalia.
