Somalis are appalled @ATMIS_Somalia allowed #Ethiopian army in #Baidoa to abuse the proud military #history of our @SNAForce by adoring and glorifying #SovietUnion alliance’s acts of aggression against #Somalia in #Karamardha as part of 1977-78 #WesternSomalia #Liberation War-1/4
These abhorrent antics are not only an affront to Somalia’s sovereignty, dignity and sensibility but are also against the Status of Mission Agreement #SOMA signed by @amisomsomalia. Article VI addresses conduct of #AMISOM and #ATMIS personnel who are required to always adhere to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
#Somalia must demand answers from @ATMIS_Somalia and @_AfricanUnion for #Ethiopia’s appalling violations of #SOMA. @MOFASomalia must also summon Ethiopia’s Ambassador and demand an apology from @mfaethiopia for the abuse of Somalia’s military #history and national sensibility-3/4
Somalis are affronted by the abhorrent agenda of #Amhara agitators who are attempting to rewrite our ancestors’ #history. As an ardent #PanSomalist whose adamantly against any agenda of #Abyssinians I’d like to address revisionism of our history by Amharas with amble evidence-1/9
From 1529 to 1543 #Somali ruler from #Adal empire named Ahmed #Gurey aka Ahmed #Gran annihilated #Amhara army after many assaults. Ahmed also roamed freely across #Abyssinia for almost two decades and pillaged at will. Ashamedly #Amhara emperor Lebna Dengel run away as coward-2/9
As anticipated emperor #Dengel asked military aid from his #Portuguese ally as he wasn’t able to face Somalis alone. This will become a familiar theme for #Amharas who are actually accustomed to begging military aid from foreign allies against Somalis for almost six centuries-3/9

The Jubaland issue has geopolitical and local-level conflicts during the 17 September agreement era.
Nothing changed, and here is the tally.

existed between #Somalia and #Kenya since Kenya's unilateral invention to Somalia, aka "Operation Linda Nchi." It also affects superpowers courting HoA and regional interests. This might be the reason why many #Somalis lost their confidence with the likes of @KFosterFCDO.

On the face of it, by using current #Jubbaland admin as a fig leaf, #Kenya pursued "off-shore oil and gas deposits …harvesting and export of charcoal have become a particularly lucrative industry (which the] UNSC resolution 2036 (2012" banned trading it (see the link 👇).

Gaslighting is not a new invention; it has been used successfully to justify slavery, colonialism and racism to the victims themselves and now in 2021 it is being used with little subtlety to break the spirit of #Ethiopia.
2/ As part of the strategy, black journalists and politicians are being co-opted as faces of this campaign to further undermine the legitimacy of the grievance of millions of #Ethiopians who know beyond a shadow of doubt that a coordinated campaign is being employed against them.
#Ethiopia: America and European countries are threatening sanctions against the Ethiopian Govt over human rights violations.
We know atrocities are taking place in Tigray such as rape and massacres - I have met the victims of the conflict and reported from the area. 1/

But the same western nations gave financial, military & moral support to Meles Zenawi, who led a murderous regime for 20+ years; committing crimes against Ethiopians & others including #Somalis.

The outgoing Prez had a freehand in 3 local elections and he rigged them ALL, hence the VITAL & sacred duty to protect the national election;
In the #Southwest election, he arrested one contender and exiled the other & when the UN envoy said this is not good, he was PNG-ed;

During elections in #Hirshabelle & #Galmudug, no credible contender stood against Farmaajo allies because the process was rigged & outcome was already known;

Had it not been for Somalis transgressing against other #Somalis, the state would neither have been in its current pitifully fragmented state, nor would it have become the poster child for the failed states.

Since independence) Somalia has been a pawn in a geopolitical chess game and a gambit in the global war on terrorism. In that half a century, Somalia has never been entirely independent of foreign influences & exploitations.

But it was never pushed down to a level similar to the current where its nationhood, history & future aspirations are at a great risk.
Climbing out of current predicament would require an entirely different approach & stepping outside the confinement of the conventional.

@KingYusufYusuff @MohmettDu No more invitition, they have to beg us to let them in, this serves our republic better today, bc we cannot be accused of expensionism intentions from our neighbors. We will always be present in their markets bc where #Somalis live #Somali products sell better.#Somalia #Mogadishu
@KingYusufYusuff @MohmettDu I want to give U my reasoning, I hope you have Mr. Uunsi & Co. in mind #NDF & #SomaliState instead of working with d Oromo to gain their independence. Lately Xabasha guy tried to destroy the Sayidka monument in front of their eyes. No emotions, they Quit. #Somalia #Mogadishu #KGS
@KingYusufYusuff @MohmettDu I'm interested &follow exactly #SomaliState #Pundits &lately they've been constantly talking about #Jubbaland &verbally attacking #SFG as if it were Isreal instead of being preoccupied with their future in #Ethiopia &dealing with others 2get their fair share.. #Somalia #Mogadishu
#NFD alone isn't viable of threaten secession against d Gov. of #Kenya, so they count on #Somalia to support them but lately, some of them were Kenyans & used Kenyan soldiers to enforce their will in #Jubbaland. U can fool d #Somalis once but not for all days.#Mogadishu #Galmudug
You wonder why I don't support fake unionist, dear #Somalis we can hardly keep together what belongs together & the two #NFD #SomaliState have always used their Masters to achieve their interest in #Somalia & cause havoc & isolation of now #FGS & then #SDR😉 #Mogadishu #Jubbaland
We can't fight multiple fronts. In the past, both #Somali regions under foreign powers have not helped to build peace in #Somalia, but have strengthened d forces dat wanted 2 divide #Somalia. #Somaliland, #Galmudug & #Iley #SomaliState & now #Madoobe #Jubbaland & #NFD😉#Mogadishu

1. Here's what's happened on the first day of the #CardiffRaceRiots:
Wednesday 11th June 1919 was the hottest day of the year☀️. At 10pm 🕙 a group of people in vehicle on #EastCanalWharf near #CustomHouseStreet.

2. The vehicle had a number of people in there. There were men of colour and their white wives. It got a considerable amount of attention from a group of white men on the street when it reached Cahanal Parade Bridge. A police constable arrived at the scene

#Ethiopia:The fed defense forcea moving into #Jigjiga city, the capital of the Ethiopian #Somali regional state, after attempts to summon the region's Pres., Abdi Illey, to #AddisAbeba failed & reports that he ordered thousands of Liyu Police to move to the city. 📷 @oladmohamed
Update:This came after Abdi sent members of Liyu police to disrupt ongoing meeting by hundreds of Ethio #Somalis in #DireDawa city. As partial result of the threat the city declared a military command post on Thursday. The gathering in Dire Dawa is called to denounce Abdi Illey.
Update: As per a gov source, since Thursday, thousands of members of the Liyu Police were told by Abdi to move into #Jigjiga. He was then asked to come with key members of his cabinet to AA to discuss the ongoing situation. "He declined & the security situation calls for caution"
