Post by Futurist »

Somalia's president Farmaajo (his Somalia Federal Government) has pledged allegiance also to Qatar and Iran.

US expert: Qatar forcing Somalia to reject UAE aid ‘could have consequences’ as Qatar-Iranian High Level Delegation arrives in Mogadishu

Qatar strong-arming Somalia to reject years’ worth of aid and assistance from the United Arab Emirates might have “serious consequences” down the road, one US investigative and foreign policy journalist has said.

The UAE has trained thousands of Somali soldiers since it began a military training mission with Somalia’s government in 2014, which both helped the conflict-ravaged nation rebuild after decades of chaos and give Emirati soldiers more experience abroad.

The Gulf country ended its mission to Somalia after an April 8 incident that saw Somali soldiers board an Emirati airplane at the Mogadishu airport, assault its soldiers at gunpoint and confiscated $9.6 million.

Less than 10 days later, Qatar’s Ambassador to Somalia Hassan Hamza Asad Hashim handed over aid from Qatar to the Somali Government which included 30 transport buses and two large cranes.

“To dry up the support for Islamic militants, the UAE also built schools, hospitals and orphanages and poured in developmental assistance valued at more than $277 million from 1993 to 2016, mainly through the Emirati Red Crescent Society. Another $165 million was supplied through a charitable campaign called “For you, Somalia,” in 2017. All told, charity and aid grants by UAE to Somalia came to almost half a billion dollars,” Richard Miniter, who is said to be close to the Trump administration, wrote on AMI Newswire.

“Now, under pressure from Qatar, Somalia has renounced UAE assistance,” Miniter added.

UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said Somalia had created tension that’s uncalled for after its seizure of a civilian aircraft this week and money on board that’s allocated for the Somali army.

“The current Somali government has, via several violations of previous arrangements and understandings with the UAE, created unnecessary tensions with a friend and an ally that stood with Somalia’s security and stability in the darkest moments,” Gargash said on Twitter.

Hold on.

1. Iran never came to Somalia, we haven't even talked to them yet.

2. Just because we see Qatar as allies does not mean we are anti UAE, we are neutral on the GCC crisis, it is UAE who are the aggressors.

Isn't Qatar in the same axis as Iran and Turkey and you are allied with them?

Am afraid Xarmaajo is deliberately wants to put Mogadishu in the terrorist list and we know who will suffer certainly nit Daarood who have zero interest in none Daarood interest.

We are only after the interest of Somalia, UAE constantly tried to bribe and undermine the fgs. They are thugs with oil money that want to control us and keep Somalia in chaos. This is why they support siilland. However after they realize they cant use siilland as a leverage against us they will leave us alone. Farmaajo did the right thing.

Qatar sponsors terrorism through the world

The winds of change are upon the Horn of Africa

Absolute rubbish the UAE were helping you from as far back as 2013 spending millions, why now they are a problem?

Farmaajo and his Daarood agenda against SL that's why now UAE is bitch slapping Somalia. Isn't easier for the people of Somalia to distinguish Daarood agenda from Somalia interest rather then screaming their head off using Farmaajo propaganda talking points against UAE.

They were helping us with aid yes, but at what cost? We refuse to become a UAE colony and we refuse to let them corrupt parliament. If they want to trade then make the best offer.

They have a dispute with Qatar and we should follow, why exactly? Fgs will make their own decisions and trade with whoever they feel will make a real difference to the country. We are a sovereign nation not an Arab colony like siiland.

This is very much the case, this so called funding, training that they are now withholding was going to Alshabab, regional states that were anti-Somali government, and corrupt politicians, its a blessing, they are weakening our enemies. :lol:

Corruption is your culture since the days of the Italians. Certainly we can't blame UAE fir corruption a national sport fir Hawiye and Daarood.

You are not a sovereign nation you are a UN project propped up by 28,000 UN troops. Your " president " can't be even honored with ruling over Xamar alone.

The ex Italian colony known as Somalia has over 6 " presidents " and various zigzags of minor states.

Face the reality and wake up from the delusions. Italian Somalia is finished it will function as various small powerless emirates in perpetual conflict with supposedly a federal president that has zero power over any entity.

yes brother. There is no surprise that this happened TODAY.





what on earth was farmajo thinking letting uae train our soldiers? perhaps he knew of the plan already and left it as that until the fgs could pay the soldiers themselves.

I am worried about puntland since they get significant funding from UAE. Gaas better start kicking them out too before all his institutions become corrupted by UAE oil money.
