Mogadishu A Cheap Whore: Paid $50 Million By Saudi To Cut Ties With Iran................................................

Post by knet »

Somalia received Saudi aid the day it cut ties with Iran - document

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Somalia received a pledge of aid for $50 million from Saudi Arabia this month on the same day it announced it was cutting ties with Saudi rival Iran, a document seen by Reuters showed. The government, which did not confirm or deny the pledge, has said there was no link between long-running Saudi financial support and its diplomatic decision to break ties with Iran. :mindblown:

The Saudi Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests for comment. But diplomats said it was the latest sign of patronage used by the kingdom to shore up regional support against Iran, a rivalry that deepened this month when Sunni majority Saudi Arabia executed a Shi'ite cleric and Iranian protesters responded by torching the Saudi embassy in Tehran.

"The Saudis currently manage to rally countries behind them both on financial grounds and the argument of non-interference," a diplomat said, referring to what Sunni-majority countries see as Iran’s habit of cultivating ties to their Shi’ite minorities. A document from the Saudi embassy in Nairobi to the Somali embassy in the Kenyan capital showed the kingdom pledging $20 million in budget support and another $30 million for investment in Somalia, a nation trying to rebuild after two decades of war.

The two grants would come from the Saudi Development Fund, according to the document that was dated Jan. 7, the same day Somalia cut ties with Tehran. Somalia cut relations with Iran saying Tehran had meddled in Somali affairs and threatened national security. Mogadishu gave Iranian diplomats, among the few stationed in the Somali capital where bomb attacks are frequent, 72 hours to leave.

Somalia's Finance Minister Mohamed Aden Ibrahim declined to comment on the pledges, but said any financial assistance from Saudi Arabia was not related to Mogadishu's stance against Iran. "Our relationship with Saudi Arabia was long-standing and is not something that has just started," the minister told Reuters. Several other Arab states such as neighboring Bahrain, a long-time close ally and recipient of Saudi largesse also cut ties. Other wealthier Gulf states withdrew envoys.

Sudan, which like Somalia and Saudi Arabia is a member of the Arab League, said it had cut ties with non-Arab Iran. Somalia's ties with Saudi Arabia have grown as it tries to rebuild a nation while battling an Islamist insurgency, although Western powers and Turkey remain among the biggest and more prominent donors to the country. -

Sunni = Saudi- Sumuni-loving dozzy cows.

Saudi pays for loyalty to Islam.
Even worst are those that get paid to fake Muslimnimo iyo All that One Ummah palaver.

Once the petrol dollars runout what will they use to bribe us?

Why take such petty sums when you have an oil depot in your capital city? Why allow Saudi to build a mosque when you refuse Iran's red crescent? They're both poisonous entities and we shouldn't pick sides for $50 million which can't buy shit. I'd understand $500 million which could be utilized (still shameful though) but this change is what you give as an insult.

Its never just politics where Saudis are concerned.
For other Muslim Sunni nations. They see the Holy Land. The Haram. And think....ISLAM!
Saudis see the Holy Land. The Haram and think... INTEREST!

If Iran so much as sneeze, Saudis are like....Hoogay oo ba'ayyeey Suniyoow. And Sunnis are ready to strap themselves.

The Rohyngyas get massacred and whole villages burned to the ground by Buddhist, and its a fart in the wind. Doesn't even register.

Politics or religion for Saudis dealings with Muslim nations is always interest driven, but for unsuspecting Muslim's, its always their religious obligation. So don't tell me it's politics when they hold the master key that unlocks the Ummah door. The Sunni card.

Very powerful card to be in the possession of Backgammon player. :snoop:
