They oppose both HSM and Sh Shariif (even while he was president), many promises funding SNA troops, Federal troops, various construction pledges all not fulfilled.
The UAE is currently funding Jubaland and P/land federal troops ONLY in Somalia the latter for years the former almost a year now, this is no secret to anyone, you don't even need to be well informed, it's public knowledge.
Last Month they called all federal states for a meeting, the conclusion, they refused funding to all, unless they signed up to their decadent marshall plan to get their puppet elected (CC), I was informed by this directly from Guleed right hand man, big kudos to Shariif Sakiin whom almost had the fundings released for him, but chose not to play ball.
Several UAE weapons were captured by GMS forces during the battles, they had constant supplies, stream of Cargo were landing @ Bosaaso even the former mayor freedom fighters collaborated this.
When UAE got both sides to sign peace treaty to withdraw last month, with their advisers on the ground to observe, false info was provided that P/land troops they fund withdrew very far, this resulted in a large contingent of our man withdrawing, many going to Cadaado protect elections taking place and Xarardheere to fight all-shabab encroachment (P/land lackeys) whom are readying to attack Hobyo were everything for the port is being set up.
This false info from UAE colluding with P/land allowed them to counter attack heavy as planned, but they couldn't move beyond Northern Garsoor, their stupid faan faan talk made UAE believe they could actually take not just the whole city but much of mudug, while they couldn't even advance for more then a mile against very few man left to defend.
In Hiiraan I was told by the interior minister closest friend, that the biggest spoilers of the conference was UAE, they did not want Hiirshabelle to form, no Hiirshabelle, no HSM and a far bigger chance for CC to win, their plan was to appoint their own temporarily representatives that will swing the vote, they put up a brilliant fight and delayed it for several months, but in the end they lost.
Ethiopia, Kenya, Turkey, EU, Qatar are all backing Sh Shariif, the Turks convinced the Ethiopian's, only UAE is against this backing of a loosing horse in CC, whom will kick out the Turks from Somalia when he comes to power, the situation between Turkey and UAE became so bad, they began to threaten Qatar, which resulted in them asking Turkey to station their troops there, they are stationing them in Mogadishu as well to counter these rats, only 4 countries have Turkish troops (no NATO umbrella), Qatar, Somalia (project power against UAE) and Syria Iraq (to protect themselves)
The oil has dried up for the desert rats, they are after resources way too late and they are very desperate right now since Berbera deal, they can't build anything, they can't compete and even worse the money is drying up, they are doing everything in their power to get the Turks out, and they found their perfect treacherous allies in Jubaland and P/land, it's no surprise Jubaland militia's took part in the war, both are funded by the same desert rats.
