Buddha on official visit to Qatar

I love how you take sources and cherry-pick whatever you like, as you are doing here by ignoring the part about Gaza refugee ‘resettlement’.
I remember Gazans were comparing living in Garowe to Jahanam when they were threatened resettlement in Puntland

Just another laaluush meeting. Somalias biggest financier likely swaying Cirro to resume talks with the FGS
 
Now that I think of it, I maybe putting too much significance into Somaliland's weight in the global scale.

The liibaan Samatalis angle of Farmaajo brokering his trip to Qatar for tuugsi in the form of mashariic or personal gifts seems plausible. Maybe this a ploy for Qatar to bribe him for the reer waqooyi seats as they seem to be backing Farmaajo again.

If it has any weight on the global scale why hasn’t it made any tangible progress at all? Why doesn’t its closest neighbor and Somali government Djibouti recognize it? These trips are just to settle down the kids back home.

I don't think he did. People thought Qatar would shift policy in line with the US (they are so-called US ally) but used this visit to push their own agenda (same old agenda). Some people think because their diplomatic weight has declined in other parts of the world.

Qatar recently declined to host AUSSOM funding conference which adds to the confusion.

I think at least some policy shift was expected from Qatar. Instead they they want continue the old narrative while only providing limited support to FGS.

Somaliland: I am a sovereign state looking for business opportunity and recognition
Qatar: Nah you are a component of Somalia begging for cash.
Somaliland: I mean that's technically not a lie, how much cash you got?

US: Weren't you just a component of Somalia begging for cash in Qatar yesterday?
Somaliland: You saw that?
US: Yeah

Possible meeting with Qatar to restore talks with Somalia. Government officials talking about Somaliweyn. What are the chances Waddani actually engages with Xamar?
