HSM should have just fought these FMS and put in place gareens like farmaajo did. When is phase 2 starting?
HSM needs them till the end of debt relief. Imagine if they all cut cooperation with him over all the NCC agreements he needed too. He would’ve made no progress on debt relief or finishing the constitution.
It’s good timing now since we’re in the final stages and they’ve already signed up to the agreements he needed. He can also claim ignorance and say he was forced by the opposition to support elections on time.
IC would’ve cut ties with him similar to what happened to Farmaajo if he did the same. In the end, HSM is showing good political instincts imo.
The FMS leaders are now in a weak position to fight him compared to a year ago with only a few months left and massive opposition. Remember LG ran to Ethiopia last year and was set to join Deni in opposing HSM. Now Deni is on the brink and LG/QQ have only months left too.
