Old_Observer Posted May 5, 2020 From what has been said so far by Ethiopians who are protectors of SFG is: Nobody told us the plane is with proper permits and no threat. Nobody from SFG informed us about the plane. What the Xabeshi are saying is very credible. Nobody from Farmaajo side told them that plane is safe, secure, in good order and peaceful non military non security mission. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suldaanka Posted May 5, 2020 Neither the Eelays of Baydhabo nor Cheeseman have the guts to stand and demand facts. They are puppets and will parrot what the Ethiopians find at best or try to sweep it under the carpet at worse. 2 hours ago, Saalax said: AUN. Is that the same family as Dr Bulxan former professor at Hargeisa university? No this is different Bulxans. Although from they share same clan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Farmaajo government is beholden to them and cannot even speak let alone do something which does not have the capacity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
