European Union joins USA in condemning N&N for misusing SNA!!!

DECLARATION BY THE HIGH REPRESENTATIVE ON BEHALF OF THE EUROPEAN UNION ON THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN SOMALIA

The latest incidents on the Kenya-Somalia border and the recent build-up of security forces in the Gedo region have created instability and resulted in casualties and large-scale displacement of civilians. This has had a severe humanitarian impact notably on vulnerable women and children. The fighting in Galmudug at the end of February has also fuelled tensions. Overall, these situations are extremely serious. Furthermore, they divert assets and attention away from military operations against al-Shabaab in Lower and Middle Shabelle and jeopardize hard won stability in Somalia. They are also detrimental to Somalia’s relationships with its neighbours and partners. Urgent steps must be taken to de-escalate.

Full cooperation is needed between the Federal Government of Somalia and the Federal Member States as well as amongst regional partners. Lasting solutions must be found to safeguard the ongoing efforts to degrade al-Shabaab, to build-up integrated Somali security forces and to create a secure and enabling environment for state building and development.

All parties involved should do everything necessary to reduce tensions, exercise restraint, respect the integrity of sovereign borders and seek peaceful resolution of differences between one another.

The European Union underlines the importance of stability and good cooperation among Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia in their common border area where they have shared interests. The engagement and outreach from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, (IGAD) is welcomed in this regard, as well as the recent communication between the Presidents of Somalia and Kenya on 5 March. An anticipated summit between the heads of state and government of Somalia and its neighbours is urgent. It should consider incorporating steps to verify and monitor the situation on the ground as a confidence building measure.

The European Union has always been a strong supporter of Somali state building, notably in the economic and security areas. Recently this commitment was translated into a firm support to Somalia’s debt relief process. The current military situation also calls for an urgent discussion on the state of implementation of agreed joint priorities in the political and security sphere.

This discussion is an important element to continue to strengthen the effective cooperation between Somalia and its international partners in the spirit of mutual accountability and partnership.

Breakdown by a Somali political commentator om SOL.


"This is very undiplomatic language for the EU. They usually mince their words. Or at least they hide their verbal uttering with "thick film of anodyne words". But now they are telling the way they see it. And they see that Villa Somalia is on a wrong road in these ways:

1 - They talked about how the Army that was build to fight the likes of Al-Shabaab in Lower and Middle Shabelle regions are out in a wild goose chasing in Gedo region, with the possibility of starting a war they will definitely lose against Kenya.

Moreover the hidden implication is that since Gedo region is an actual border region where three states of Ethiopia/Kenya/Somalia meet, then they fear that such foolish agenda on the part of Villa Somalia may well start a war in which all three parties or States may found themselves be involve-in (or being drawn-in) in some fashion or the other.

2 - They talked about how Villa Somalia has yet to implement the "agreed security priority agenda", in which they had agreed with them. And that means since EU give lots of money to Somalia (for the debt relief, for economical developmental assistance and for security angle by paying the AU's soldiers) will in turn mean that the EU wants from Villa Somalia some form of accountability. Which is why they are talking about this:

You see that word there, namely "Mutual Accountability", which essentially means that we in the EU will make you be "accountable" to our support, small or large, and you will not do, nilly-willy, with that support of ours with whatever your "deluded fancy" may have convinced you to do it.

It's a brutal (albeit coached or clothed-in with a "diplomatic highfalutin verbalism") way of saying to a needed nation in which you support, and in turn could not do without your support, that her action as of late is not what you had signed up for when you originally thought to help her out.

And this is what Somalia seems to be reminded of now in here. Which is the reason the EU kept on mentioning in here the State building support, the debt-relief support, economical assistance support, and the security sector support, in which they give to Somalia.

Which is a way of showing in words (and in litany version of it) the many ways in which you help someone who is not thinking straight. And you want that person to stop whatever they were doing wrong and get back into the old agreed agenda in which your help of them was based on it originally.

Finally, lets see whether Villa Somalia will be able to read between the lines in here. Since the next thing that will follow from all this warning will be "action" of the kind that directly and specifically will effect all the areas in which the EU gives support to Somalia, particularly, if for some reason or the other, it's still the case that Villa Somalia keeps on ignoring these kind of diplomatic warnings from them."

Where did all the fan accounts go that had libaaxs in their names and titles that were all magically β€œfrom puntland”. Politics has less threads without them.
 
but al shabab does business with Kenya. Why wouldnt securing the border with Kenya and removing its meddling force be a priority? The only thing this shows is that Somalia has a lot of enemies that want it to remain unstable.

Alshaydan should be the top priority and then replacing AMISOM.

Not fighting the opposition and killing innocents along the way.
