Arms Embargo wasn't lifted, because it didn't exist. The "sanctions regime" has been approved for another year, though.

Hassan Sheekh's actions are so small and deceitful, it makes me question "why" this man chose to become President if it's not about... achievement.

1. There is a 1992 call for an "Arms Embargo" against Somalia in a 1992 UN Resolution. It has no material consequence today.

It is called: S/RES/733
It is right here: https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/u ... es-733.php

2. There is rolling sanctions regime on Somalia which comes up for vote every year which is in effect from last approval in 2022.

It is called: S/RES/2662
It is right here; https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/u ... s-2662.php

3. This is a UN clerk's minutes of the background process of the security resolutions (yes, 2) involving Somalia;

Here: https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/w ... rnment.php



HSM mailed the UN Security Council a request to "separate" the 1992 "persuance" (aka 1992 call for "arms embargo") from the actual sanctions regime and make two (2) resolutions one officially deprecating the 1992 persuance (reference and one that will continue the actual sanctions regime except this time being " persuant to the 2022 last vote."

Basically;

1. There are no sanctions on Somalia from 1992. There are sanctions from 2022---because of rolling yearly basis.

2. However, all the rolling sanctions are pegged to the 1992 call for arms embargo for BUREAUCRATIC reasons ("organizing feature") which is what is meant by a resolution "persuant" or reference.

3. The 1992 resolution calling for arms Embargo on the Somali government really ended in 2012 when the post-transition started with a fully recognized Somali government. That is also when the Arms Embargo monitors for example were extinguished but were reborn as "Panel of Experts" because of the actual continuing sanctions regime.

4. He called to finally end the 1992 persuance being connected to the sanctions regime in a resolution of its own while the actual sanctions regime, with rhe weapons ban, the mandate to seize weapons destined for Somalia, with the Panel of Experts---all are approved for another rolling year....but in their own resolution "persuant" to the last time it was adopted in 2022.

It was nothing to them, but we know why he did it.

The question it presents to me is why did you become president? You are obviously not achieving anything----and you know it, because you show it to us with this.

My God this guy is such a waste of Somalia's time.

The resolution lifting the arms embargo spells out "for the avoidance of doubt, that there is no arms embargo on the Government of the Federal Republic of Somalia."

You can't be this uncomplicated.

There wasn't---until HSM contacted the UN Security Council and asked for "2" resolutions.

1 deprecating the 1992 "call" for an arms embargo on Somalia which has no significance

1 going ahead to continue the arms sanctions regime disassociated from the 1992 "call."

The 1992 call referenced Somalia as the subject

But the actual sanctions regime in effect references "Al Shabaab" as the subject

So, we have Abkoow's headline "Arms Embargo ON SOMALIA is removed" but the actual sanctions regime which is approved every year is re-adopted except this time with it's own title of "Sanctions on Al Shabaab blah hlah" as the "persuance."

This is only something Matt Bryden, a former UN monitor for Somalia, could have extended to Hassan Sheekh as relevant advice which says Matt has lost his inner mission for why he is even imposing himself on Somalia.

It becomes more astronomically pitiable the more one thinks about it.

Here is the UN detailed minutes on what HSM did;

I am not going to entertain this with you Abkoow.

Every single piece of the sanctions regime that was on Somalianon October, 2023 is on Somalia on January, 2024.

He is wasting Somalia's time.

This is not a man who has even "self-confidence" to think he can achieve something for Somalia.

Otherwise he wouldn't have done something so pitiable and pathetic honestly.

His presidency is BROKEN.

An honorable man and an honorable system would compel resignation and moving out of the way.

It was lifted and it'll be great for the country! Drop your obsessions with qabiil for once and be happy for your country instead of refusing to accept facts and talk nonsense online.

Somalia Guul inshallah.
