BREAKING NEWS: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and (possibly) UAE cut all diplomatic ties with Qatar

[Prince of Lasanod]

Wait, so he thinks Qatar-Turkey are the axis of evil because of somaliland?

Insane right?

 

[kazamama]

Egypt is an Arab country, not African.

They are both, Egypt is located in Africa.

 

[TSP]

why does Somalia even have to pick a side?
just stay quite and let the Ayrabs sort it out between them. it's not like us picking a side will make any difference

We were forced to choose a side in the first gulf war and recently with SA vs Iran. This is looking like the 90s again When Barre chose Saudi and lost funding from Qatar. They want us only for "show of support".

Other than some short term gains, Saudi Arabia offers nothing to Somalia.

They made us cut our ties with the Soviet Union, promising to replace everything if we allied ourselves with the US. We trusted them, and they betrayed us.

Why would Somalia's support even matter to them? What will they gain from Somali support?

so either way we lose

we rely too much on these damn Arabs, their conflicts are our conflict

Egypt is geographically in Africa, but they are genetically and culturally Arab. Egyptians will literally fight you if you call them Africans.

UAE is linked with the Berbera port and SL may hold a grudge against Turkey because they view them as biased negotiators in favour of Somalia. They didn't kick out any Gulen linked facilities to spite Turkey. I don't know/understand his beef with Qatar unless he views them as his enemy for funding Somalia?

 

[Gilgamesh]

Explain?

The Qataris and Saudis are both funders of extremist groups. Like Al-Nusra in Syria or Hamas in Gaza . The UAE on the other hand is very anti-islamist the most of any Muslim nation I would say along with Egypt.

 

[Safiya]

Us choosing side would make no difference at all and i don't understand why we would this has nothing to do with us cuz we're not one of them hairy people mind our own business waryaada. This will be interesting to follow tho

Strength in numbers in the diplomacy arena. I mean look at what happen tonight, the shock value of all these nations going against Qatar. That's all there is to it

 

[Amira]

Those hairy sand don't get involved in our HOA disputes, so why should we get involved in their Bedouin fights.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Qatar fund the Ikhwan shit. A very dangerous ideology even in Somaliland. Many folks who subscribe to it are secret unionists like Xirsi Gaab.

I support the crackdown on the Muslim brotherhood cult.

 

[Apollo]

Somalia is Saudi Arabia's geopolitical slave, we will do whatever they tell us to do. Sad!

If both Qataris and Saudis are funders of extremist groups, why are you supporting the Saudis over the Qataris?

Since when did Arabs especially the gulf countries not being involved in Somalia?

 

[Gilgamesh]

If both Qataris and Saudis are funders of extremist groups, why are you supporting the Saudis over the Qataris?

I'm not. The Saudi just happen to align with the UAE in this matter who I support.

For example in Yemen they are at odds with the UAE's heavy support to the South Yemen secession movement.

 

[Apollo]

The Middle East will always will be a mess. I suspect Iran will be the next country to implode like Syria.

Inshallah Farmaajo's position from the tweet you posted in this thread didn't change during this ongoing rift inside the GCC.

Saudi's postion will default to what UAE stands and we know those guys are: They are backing Kenya over us in the sea dispute.

One block is arming us/ working out a peace deal while the other is fracturing the country and siding with regional enemies for their own gain. Choosing the same block again is strike 3 for us
