Welcome to puppetville - I'm ashamed of anyone who still claims hairy swine blood.
By Shireen Roa – shireen.r.roa@gmail.com=Washington, DC- In the last few days, the Somali social media have exploded with the news that Saudi Arabia is bringing 15000 Somali domestic female workers to Riyadh. This was prompted, after Ethiopia, and Kenya cancelled the work visas for 50,000 house maids destined to Saudi Arabia due to labor and human rights violations.
The Iranian charities in Somalia have not lost a moment to use this as case to drum up and use against Saudi Arabia. The Iranians argue that Saudi Arabia is not a Somali friend but a nation that wants to humiliate the Somali people and their proud heritage by using money forced their domestic agenda; a very unpopular agreement in Somalia through the Somali president’s weak negotiating position.
Somali religious scholars are suspicious, Sheikh Ahmed a prominent Mogadishu preacher says “the individuals that sold this idea to Saudi Arabia may have been Iranian paid agents because the timing of the agreement and the Iranian campaign are so closely linked”
The Iranian aggressive strategic policy in Somalia in establishing naval bases, cultural centers, mosques and giving thousands of Somali students scholarships to Tehran was already a worrying sign for deeply Sunni traditional Somalis but this polarizing social issue -taking female house workers en-masse to Saudi Arabia has rallied the majority of Somalis against Saudi Arabia. This is “another tool of the arsenals that the Persians Shia empire is using to drum up more support within the Somali population and portray Saudi Arabia as selfish and heartless opportunistic nation” says Sheikh Ahmed.
“The Somali maid fiasco is another strategic political blunder that Saudi Arabia has empowered their archenemy Iran” Said Western NGO head based in Mogadishu who requested to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the issue.
A member of the Somali parliament said “It shows the strategic weakness of Saudi Arabia as Somalia has been a bedrock Sunni nation where Iran until recently had few influences”.
Somalia a member of the Arab league has been in civil war and stateless for almost two decades. A Pro-Iranian Somali said “The Gulf Arabs and Egypt our historic allies just forgot us when we needed and now see us a supplier of cheap labor and of charcoal to be exploited.
Thanks to Saudi Arabia, Iran has built support structure in Somalia and soon naval bases and strategic defense assets to create more havoc in the Middle East.
