Why do get the feeling the one in Puntland is next.

Ethiopian security mainly TPLF generals and colonels made tons of money through contraband in Somali State, Somaliland and the South.

What does that mean for Somaliland and Puntland Ethiopian consulates?  Is Abiy removing consulates all together?

I don't know but it looks like Abiy is honoring his word. Me thinks he will do so until he consolidates his power then he will be sending his own Gabres.

This is very bad.  Many children in Hargeisa are orphaned tonight.

As they say in business , it is not about whether the color is black or white, or even Tigray,  the only color that counts is the green (money).

The TPLF generals were all about the money , especially after the demise of Meles Zanawi. They had a weak puppet leader as prime minister after 2012 , and  they took advantage. They created large military industrial complex that was making hard currency. In Ethiopia , despite the large population and economic growth, money has been always scarce. 

Selling weapons to Somalis was probably very lucrative. They placed TPLF military generals across the Somali territory to facilitate the transaction. Also, the regional commanders were free to sell the weapons whom ever had cash. 

Since Abiy was in the national security agency, he probably knew all these businesses. The fear is that since these generals had access to huge foreign currency, they might finance a coup or hire mercenaries to create problems.

” Runtii ma dhicin in aan maalin dhibsano shaqadiisa Danjire Asmalash, marwalba wuxuu u shaqaynayey si hufan, mana ahayn nin xafiiskiisa kaliya ku eg ee si balaadhan ayuu uga shaqayn jiray wanaajinta xiriirka labada dal, waxaan jaraynayaa midka badali doona in uu noqdo mid la mid ah, aad iyo aad buu u mahadsan yahay, waana u hambalyeynaynaa meel walba oo uu tago” ayuu yiri Madaxweynuhu.

” Waxaan rabnaa dhammaantiin oo uu ugu horreeyo qusulku in aan idiinka mahadcelino wadashaqayntii wanaagsanayd ee aad dadka iyo dowladda Puntland-ba aad la lahay’deen, muddadii aad joogtey waxaad ka mid noqotay reer Puntland, sida aad dadka iyo dalkaba u kala garanayso, kan imaan doonana waxaan ka rajaynaynaa sidaas oo kale”.

Ugu dambayn, Madaxweynaha dawladda Puntland Dr. Cabdiweli Maxamed Cali Gaas ayaa shahaado sharaf gudoonsiiyey Mr. Asmalaash iyo hadiyado gaar ah oo ay kamid ahayd dharka hidiyo dhaqanka Soomaalida, sidoo kale Madaxweynaha ayaa iyana hadiyado gudoonsiinyey laba sarkaal oo dhammaystay shaqadoodii iyaguna.

Look at this Tigrey jaajuus opening the session of baarlamaanka Garoowe ka dhisan:

He should have no business to do things like this.

In Nofeembar 6 macsalaameys sagootin farewell, he received these:

Balaayo kula shaarbo weynaato.

Didn't know that. Anyone replaced him?

MMA,

The Tigray president is complaining being unfairly treated. I guess the word irony is not Tigray language. The bigger question would the Federal Government take advantage of this change in meaningful way that doesn't alienate the people.

Its a must for Ethiopia to have consulate or some other rep., in Puntland, since Bassaso is used for importation of some items that Ethiopia wants that way. Unless Abiy wants to use Kenya or other Somalia ports for such purposes.
