this real diplomacy, war and peace not provincial governance dude
Thats not true Somalia has no good relations with Ethiopia and Kenya , Ethiopia wishes to create more regional clan enclaves that work with them the central government tries to appease Ethiopia and doesnt flirt with the Arabs accept when its placing its begging Bowl. The Kenyans want to build a major wall in between Somalia and Kenya.. The kenyans see Somalia as a threat a major threat to their stability their economic industries. Diplomacy is more than just pictures with Foreign leaders , its the real work the real relations behind the curtains. Cabdilahi Yusuf used to meat them and so did Cabdiqasim salaad xassan. Somalia hasnt moved an inch closer to stabilization nor has it a functioning organic state that works on the ground and the diplomacy and the legitimacy has solely came from the Americans and the Europeans
khalid, by this you seem like saying ethiopia has good relations with SL and not SFG? Can you pls give me some figures and I will be thankful for your enlightment!
yes kenya but ethiopias agenda in somalia is the same for every region but in principal, it is more against SL than SFG bc its has a federal agenda for somalia
Ethiopia wanting to have an influence in the regions is a branch problem.
Kenya has interests in one region-JL- and its policies r influenced by certain somali group who work in the central govt as mps, ministers and generals
This can be fixed by reaching out to these people themselves and the current pm is closer to kenya than ethiopia and he's friend with the kenyan FM
If you believe the kenyan FM will ever recognize SL your will be so naïve, this woman has invited faroole, omar abdirashid, ahmed madobe and gandhi to the presidential place!
Maybe is looking for trade and some investment in SL
The other one is making some diplomatic works in the AU and IGAD themselves and I think that you know ethiopia having replaced her in the kismayo file and the uganda summit position
Here ethiopia sees to put this region under the SFG but at the same time being the biggest influential in it like any other somali region!
SFG has let ethiopia for this role generally speaking bc it has no troops in there but would like to have a local politicians that r aligned with the ruling group like in the elections etc...ethiopia wants to place more pro-ethiopian politicians in the govt itself for future cards!
At the end all somali regions/provinces will be dealt this way and this is why every province is organizing itself these days!
As for kay, then who has listened to his whining? That was my point!.
