Abukar Arman: 100% bet he is also a UAE agent, you can tell this is emergency for UAE by the activation

Post by Voltage »

I have been observing this guy very closely for about couple months;

1. I read all of his writings.
2. I read all of his twitter postings
3. I read all of his responses

I have had a lot of respect for him---but, I have observed superficiality that is unmistakable if you contextualize and situate his different writings/responses into a wider, whole analysis.

Not only is there clear superficiality, but his chosen method of defense is "gullibility."

If you then take his wider, whole analysis and do a "chronological" analysis comparing to a couple others that curiously can be compared to him in strategy (Abdirashid Hashi of HIPs and ex Mins Lady Maryan Qasim)---

---what you get is something so obviously coordinated and EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, completely subsequential to various outliers in time when the UAE is facing acute negative public relations in Somalia.

The recent Somali Gov attack on UAE interference is one such activation moment where u you can tell the UAE is particularly desperate and activated the Arman and the "nice face" group.

It is so superficial. The rot is deep wallahi.

This election entanglement has really opened a lot of our eyes.

The easiest way to know if he's a UAE/Saudi Agent is simple. Look at his Twitter. If he never commented on the Yemeni war by criticizing the Saudi/UAE involvement, the countless Saudi bombardments on civilian infrastructure then BING BING BING. You've got yourself a highly suspicious case of someone employed by UAE/Saudi intelligence services.

He made an ambiguous Yemeni reference towards the UAE which was from this year (Oddly enough). But in this post, he was not criticizing the UAE. Far from it. He was trying to make it appear as though he was criticizing the UAE, but he chose his words carefully with ambiguity and misdirection.

He is rather pro Qatari , I remember back in the Abdullahi Yusuf days he was staunchly anti-Abdullahi and the TNG.

So f-king superficial.

Somalia (aka "Farmajo Gov") and her "behind the seen funder UAE/MBZ".

The rot is deep wallahi.

Good observation. I've been reading Arman's articles for many years, and while he isn't open about who he supports, if he were to openly support a camp, it would be Qatar, Turkey and late Egyptian president Morsi. He isn't of the same manhaj as the UAE's. He has been critical of every government since Carta, not only Abdullahi Yusuf.

Voltage,

I met Abukar Arman personally, spent time with him and he’s always seemed sincere. He’s big on holding Government’s accountable. I will give the benefit of the doubt.

He’s not that qaxooti guy from Sahan Research.

Peperino,

Appealing to the past doesn't negate transformation. Farmaajo of all people was vehemently anti-Ethiopia, but because of circumstances namely the decline of TPLF, he changed how he interacts with them.

The vacuum created by TPLF fall, the intense engagement by Kenya, the crisis created by the Arab Spring-Yemen implosion-Rise of Turkey-vicious cat fight between Qatar and UAE---with the surprise longevity of Farmaajo Gov from 6 month gov cycles...

... created an extremely dynamic environment for client demand.

Arman has to feed himself. His Speaking fees and other services offered may not necessarily be enough to cover comfortable living.

I have read probably what you have read and having observed you and relayed it to you a number of times, I find myself questioning how you didn't reach a different conclusion to what you reached.

I don't know anything about the man. I have nothing on him.

I read "voice" in writing.

The salient effect of Arman is "superficiality" and the only logical conclusion is "Deception."

And this is even when you remove the fact he fits a pattern shared with a number of other actors.

Murax-

Then there is a puzzle here.

Also I would ironically point out Exhibit A of what I am talking about is that Tweet posted by Wadaniga.

That tweet is called "superficiality" and logically is probably deception.

For what or why I don't know, but that's the effect of the writing.

A new article by Abukar that appears to be very critical of Farmaajo and a little critical of mucaaradka. Among his recommendations:
4) Since no official in the Executive or the Lower and the Upper House branches has a mandate to lead the country while stakeholders are negotiating the right model of election and implementing it, the Speaker of the Upper House, Abdi Hashi, should be entrusted with that responsibility for the following reasons:

a) He is a tower of patriotism among the current politicians

b) He is the oldest, most ethical, and indeed most credible member of the parliament

c) He is the only leader who has been playing by the rules

d) He is the only one who refrained from the cut-throat politics that kept all others in a state of hyper-paranoia

e) He is one of the Senators who represent Somaliland in the clan-based federal system

f) He represents one of the four ‘major clans’ in the so-called 4.5 system that never held the presidency, even transitionally

g) Once a new parliament is elected and a new president is elected or selected, Speaker Hashi clears the way for that new president
https://www.hiiraan.com/op4/2021/feb/18 ... rmajo.aspx
He has chosen to openly name and support someone for the first time or one of the rarest times, albeit one with little power. What's to note is, Arman is a civilian, a freelance writer, who wields little/no influence as he doesn't command an armed force, wealth, academic achievements, the ears of Western, African or Middle Eastern governments, etc. In short, someone no different to I, you, others, each entitled to express his/her own opinions & recommendations.

Peperino,

The man has a website in his own name informing the State of Somalia as he sees it.

This Is influence and influence is Power. You don't have to have a Title.

Just look at Rush Limbaugh who just died. He had more power to directly inform a larger number of Americans than all the political actors of the US put together except for the Oval Office.

Also, thank you for proving my point. That article is called "superficial" and it misinforms through deception (omission of facts AND false equivalency/"whataboutism").

Arman is an agent.

A new article by Arman, one that's anti-AU & anti-Israel:

Not a single word about Somalia, which is interesting.

His writings & analyses bother you 'cause he writes & analyzes far better than you do.
