Muuse Biixi: I was afraid that Ethiopia might detain me if I refuse.

[galbeedi]

We heard before what took place in Addis Ababa office room between Muuse Biixi and president Farmaajo in Feberaury of 2020 . Those accounts were from the Farmaajo side. Now let us hear from those who were with Muuse Biixi. 

 

Folks, we have reliable information you could take straight to the bank. WE have insider accounts from those who were present after the meeting concluded and what took place in Hargeisa afterwards.

 

Neither Farmaajo nor Biixi were notified about the nature of the meeting and its agenda according to Somaliland officials who were present. While they were aware about the coming meeting between the two, everyone from the Somaliland side assumed that this could be one of those early courtesy and useless meetings that took place among Somali leaders and Somaliland which never produced anything meaningful.

 

THey were both invited and brought to the Menelik palace and put inside the same room with their accompanying officials. Without formal introduction, prime minister Abiy Ahmed showed up and demanded that the senior aides and other ministers to leave the room except Farmaajo and Biixi.

 

Certainly Farmaajo and Abiy had prior meeting about the Somaliland issue before and the Ethiopian premier had his own conclusions about the case. According to insiders Abiy explained the Somaliland issue in simple terms that doesn't require lectures or long Somali civil war history. He said, " Everty thing that is taking place in the horn of Africa is the result of the collapse of the Somali state, and Somaliland is nothing but the result of that collapse. The disappearance of that state had created a huge problems not only for Somalis who dispersed around the globe as refugees, but also for Oromo and others".

 

 

He continued, " There was no Oromo national awareness in Ethiopia before Siyad Barre and Somalia before nineteen seventies. It was Somalia who wrote the Oromo alphabet and the first Oromo language broadcasting were staged in Mogadishu. And today the Oromo people will not succeed without strong and united Somali state"

 

"We fought with Eritrea with less than two decades ago and we both lost about 100,000 people, yet we made peace and forgot about the past. Your problems were in another era, the era of the cold war, with both Somalia and Ethiopia led by ambitious leaders to control the horn by force". He said, " we have larger plans in the region to integrate our economy and create wealth for the people of the region, so I want you guys to debate and make a useful conclusion before I came back, and he left the room".

 

Just like that Abiy Ahmed left the room and told the Somalis to make an agreement. President Farmaajo made a short argument and concluded his remarks by saying that he is " willing to step down and transfer power to the separatists led by Muuse Biixi".  For Muuse Biixi who had traveled so many winding roads to reach the former house of general Morgan and manage $200 million dollar budget , that was a huge surprise.

 

He told Farmaajo that before they conclude their agreements, he must make an official and public apology for the things that took place during the regime of late president Siyaad Barre. Farmaajo accepted that, but since Biixi was not prepared of of these sudden surprises and how Abiy made everything simple, he didn't know what to do next.

 

Just like the previous time , Abiy Ahmed came back and asked, " did you finish the agreement? ( Waar ma heshiseen). They both said yeas. Then he said we will move to the next stage and concluded his meeting.

 

When biixi left the room and met his Somaliland delegation, they asked him, what happened.

 

 " war maxaa meesha ka dhacay?

Muuse: Waa La Heshiiyey oo Midooba ayaa la yidhi.

Oo maxaad ku jawaabtay?

Muuse: Midnimo Ayaan Qaatay. Waxaan Ka baqay in meesha la igu xidho.\

 

The paranoid colonel said he accepted for union, and due to the circumstances, he was unable to say no. He even thought that Abiy and Ethiopia might detain him if he refused. Folks, this is not a far fetched idea. Mohamed Bin Salman has detained the prime minister of Lebanon few years ago after he refused to flow orders.

 

Balaayo anagaa aragnay. Waxii dhacay dhac, Hargeisa la soo aaday.

 

When Muuse came to Hargeisa and consulted with others, many out of touch Hargeisa politicians thought that this was a bad joke from Abiy and must be rejected. They suggested to him to play the usual runaround and throw some obstacles.  Farmaajo, on the other hand,  fulfilled his promise and apologized whatever crimes the Somali regime committed in Hargeisa. Balantiisii waa fuliyey.

 

Then after few months or so, the Ethiopian foreign Ministry called its representative in Hargeisa,  Mr. Shamsudiin Ahmed. He was in his way to Borama and turned around to meet with Mr. Biixi. He told them that the Ethiopian government informed him to notify Biixi the arrival of Hargeisa by Abiy Ahmed and Farmaajo within the next few days. He gave them 24 hours for an answer.

 

Hargeisa way waalatay. Waar ma Farmaajo oo lawado ayaa la inoo keenya? WAar maxaynu yeelnaa?

 

Mr.Biixi called the opposition including Wadani presidential candidate  C/rahman Cirro, chairman C/qadir Jirde, Faysal Waraabe, C/raxman Zaylici , Guurti Chief Saleebaan Gaal, Parliament leader Baashe M. Farah and his deputy.

 

The old man Saleebaan Gaal said, ' tell him Abiy he can come,  but do not bring Farmaajo. Faysal Waraabe complained how Biixi dropped the ball by accepting the unity in the first place and suggested a delegation to be sent to Addis. Others said that they cannot just say no to Ethiopia at this stage. In fact, this was before Abiy waged the Tigray war and his flag was flying high.

 

Finally, the only statesman left in Somaliland,  Mr. C/qadir Jirde , said, " Tell Abiy we accepted his unity policy and his future plans to bring president Farmaajo to Hargeisa, but before you guys come together, there are few issues our parliamentary leaders and I, Mr. Biixi would like to discuss with you in person . Finally, Mr. Biixi accepted that advice and informed the Ethiopian government. Moreover, Abiy Ahmed understood the runaround games of the Hargeisa group and declined  not to come alone, but somehow changed his strategy .

 

He proceeded to engage the regional countries, USA and some European countries to help his unity plans for Somalia. While the wheel was turning and America and others came aboard, Abiy forgot to add Djibouti to the process either accidentally or assumed to be an easy country that would welcome the unity. Finally, they said, " why don't we hold our next meeting in Djibouti itself".

 

Cumar Geelle accepted to host the meeting , but ahead of time,  decided that both Abiy and Farmaajo are rushing the issues and prepared his obstacles along with the British ambassador of Somalia. Together they proposed to appoint a committee to prepare for future engagement including exchanges among the youth and people. At the end Omar Geelle had delayed the process and then the TPLF problems became huge which consumed the energy and enthusiasm Abiy had for Somali unity. 

 

Since then Mr. Biixi himself has immersed  with the Mogadishu election and is hoping for Farmaajo to win. Farmaajo is busy with re-election and Abiy is fighting for his life. 

The sure thing is that if Abiy defeats the evil TPLF a lot will change in our region. The order the TPLF created in 1991--the Pax Tigraica-could collapse as we know it.

Obviously foreign politics and dealing with foreign countries isn’t Somaliland strong suite. However Somaliland makes that up in their domestic politics and dealings, seeking broad consensus and inclusive decision making on important matters.

Galbeedi is again living in paralell universe  where Somaliland is summoned by Ethiopia a 3rd world country on the brink of civil war  to some how unite with an amisom colony. How amusing  Somaliland rejected the chinese plan to ditch Taiwan in exchange for Chinese investment.Somaliland ideology and nationalistic ambition is beyond individuals or leaders that serve Somaliland .  The talks in jabuuti have collapased Eritrea and ethopia conflict is much of a lowergrade conflicts then Somalia and Somaliland. In Ethiopia the  gallas Somalis and tigrayans banishangulis all didnt oppose Eritrea independence even with the loss of the red sea. The amhara the gurages and some gallas called to never surrender to Eritrea wish for statehood. In Somalia no one region or clan in somalia is for Somaliland independence.  And  no one Somaliland ever wishes to share a country with the walanweyns see the difference.

 By the way no amisom protected leader  can ever set foot in Somaliland. Whether he becomes abiye ahmed ali minyaro or mistress it is never gonna happen.

Xaaji,

please don't insult our intelligence.  The Hargeisa click will do what ever earns them a buck. They were willing to give a military base to UAE and become the target of the Houties if people didn't rise up. 

They are even contemplating to bring Afghan refugees in Hargeisa on behalf of UAE before the Somali government stopped.

Anyway, these talks were orchestrated by Abiy during his heydays after he won the noble price and before the Tigray issue went south.

This week I did talk someone who served in the Somaliland government for 25 years.  He told me that every Somaliland official from director, minister, parliament member or informed politician believes that there will not be any recognition, and everyone is waiting for peace to hold in the south. In the meantime Xaaji and company should entertain the masses.

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

If you believe that. That we will sit still and allow us to be ruled by Mogadishu.ur are really really naive.  Abiye thought he solved the Eritrean issue . Then he can also solve the Somaliland issue . impossible its far more complicated. By the way the afghani issue was never a thing.. it was tabloid news . Walanweyns try to respond to tabloid news the minister of info of Somaliland. Said there is no afghani deployment of refugees.not that walanweyns can stop anything.
