Some key points:
1. Somaliland's real estate is a key strategic asset for Somalia
2. Fiqi is implicating the FGS in the events in eastern Sool which many have speculated on in the past. He says Somaliland was on the brink of recognition, US congress was tabling a motion before, but then later admits that recognition is still being discussed in western capitals.
3. Claims other countries are backing Ethiopia's MoU.
4. Alleges FGS is sowing dissent in other parts of Somaliland
5. Claims Somaliland can only discuss terms for reunification with FGS and that the FGS can accomodate.
6. The dire consequences of the MoU for Djibouti.
7. The MoU has become the governments top priority and other goals are regressing due to the governments focus on stopping the MoU.

Fiqi probably wants to give the impression of success and being the hand behind events, not sure if that's convincing but there's no doubt he's trying to sow dissent in any area of Somaliland he can. For the FGS Somaliland is real estate on the gulf of Aden to sell to other governments. The loss of Somaliland brings down the value of Somalia's offering significantly.
The position of Fiqi is two places at once, dismember Somaliland while offering terms for reunification. This would be an attempt to bring down the cost of any future bargain but the reality is that no bargain with Mogadishu would hold so Somaliland is pursuing the only viable path for their population.
