with 1 billion you would reckon they’ll stop crying about the port fees now![]()
The “we need a coastline” was never about port fees, it was a directive from above to take control of the Gulf of Aden by proxy and counter Houthi domination.

We should cuck ourselves over the MOU and leave Egypt hanging for the sake of Doolow and Ceel Barde security guarantees?MOU wasn’t worth paper it was written on. Ethiopia is 3rd world nation it cannot redraw borders. It’s equivalent of HSM working with ONLF and recognizing Ogaden. Egypt won’t do anything about gerd dam. It’s too late to destroy. HSM beholden to Ethiopia he has no choice. Especially when he attempting regime change in jubbaland . He also dependent on them in Hirshabelle and KGS.
if Egypt ever bring 10k troops then Egypt can expect some loyalty and harder stance against Ethiopia until then they will be sidelined
Somali dependent on Ethiopia. Egypt is non factor till it brings 10k troops it promised which will likely never come. HSM and FMSs like jubbaland Hirshabelle and KGS all depend on abiy and his troops. Why should HSM throw fit when Ethiopians troops present regardless. Most African leaders skipped dam inauguration by showing up for Abiy he might get favor and support in Gedo just hypothetical. My stance been consistent MOU is meaningless and Egypt won’t die for Somalis, HSM stuck with ethiopia troops he has no power to remove themWe should cuck ourselves over the MOU and leave Egypt hanging for the sake of Doolow and Ceel Barde security guarantees?
The MOU is ‘meaningless’ because of international support and our zeal. Pressing against those pillars by spitting on our allies and playing buddy with Ethiopia is just stupid even if it isn’t apocalyptic.Somali dependent on Ethiopia.

HSM is a strange individual. He wants to "remove" ENDF yet at the same time refuses to have a strong SNA even though there has been ample opportunity to do so.Somali dependent on Ethiopia.

the world is built on norms and rules. MOU was just distraction nobody did somalia any favors, its in everyones interest these norms are maintained and why MOU was nothing burger. If Africans had this power we would have countries popping up everywhereThe MOU is ‘meaningless’ because of international support and our zeal.

One look at a conflict map is enough to know Somalia is not dependent on Ethiopia.
I personally think its myth that he purposely destroying SNA. Al shabab is very strong fighting force it will take many thousands dying to defeat them. its demoralizing fighting enemy like them who just keep multiplying and willing to blow themselves up just to knock down perimeter gate. Al shabab fighting FMSs, FGS, foreign land troops, western air power and they still standing strong thousands of their soldiers killed yet we are no closer to defeating them almost 20 yrs later. i think its disservice still making them seem like some under dog this folks know what they are doingHSM is a strange individual.

Farmaajo was at least smart to ally with Qatar and stay out of the Gulf ban against Qatar. Not to mention he actually at least tried to rebuild the military with higher salaries and training.This is a blunder. Culusow sometimes makes errors, he sometimes makes mistakes but this is a blunder. Egypt and Qatar (which was bombed today btw) were according to Muse Biixi the main countries that lobbied against the MOU and put together coalitions in the AU and OIC.
All Culusow had to do to repay this massive favor was stay in Xamar and eat his cambuulo. Why go to the inauguration of a dam that was funded in part by the US and is protected from Egyptian strikes by Israeli SPYDER SAMs? This is as existential for Egypt as the MOU was for Somalia? Why kick Egypt in the teeth for an Ethiopia that less than 10 months ago wanted to break up our country?
Somalia has lost an ally today. We are led by a very stupid man.
