480 CLAN MILITIAS TRAINED IN DJIBOUTI TO TAKE CONTROL OF SAYLAC
Daljir has learned that since Ethiopia declared its intention to take control of the Saylac Coast of Somalia, President Ismail Omar Guelleh (IOG) @IsmailOguelleh of Djibouti has been busy developing a parallel plan to also take control of the Saylac coast.
IOG has recently convened Awdal clan and business leaders for a meeting in Djibouti. The meetings were initially advertised as a reconciliation conference for the two major clans in the region, the Gadabuursi and the Isse clans. While the clan leaders are still meeting in Djibouti, reliable sources are now telling Daljir Media that they eventually turned into meetings to strengthen Isse clan unity. So far, there is no reliable information if that was by design or a result of IOG getting cold feet in confiding his Saylac plans to the Gadabuursi clan.
In Djibouti, with Isse clan unity strengthened, IOG asked his Isse clansmen that he will train and arm 480 clan militias who would take control of Saylac and environs. IOG selected a Colonel by the name Elmi to run the operation.
With all 480 clan militias fully trained and armed, the militia leaders have now been ordered to depart and take control of Saylac. However, there is a slight problem. Somaliland has been closely following the events in Djibouti and has brought in few hundred heavily armed militias at the Lawyacade crossing.
Colonel Elmi, not wanting any armed confrontations at the border crossing, now ordered the clan militia to head south to Geestiir and then trek all the way up to Saylac.
With Somaliland aware of IOG's plans, there are now reports that some of @musebiihi 's militias at the Lawyacado crossing have been ordered back to Saylac. If that happens, Col. Elmi of Djibouti has been instructed to take on the remaining Somaliland militias at the Lawyacado border crossing and move on to Saylac as a backup for the clan militias.
This points out to an imminent clash taking place between Djibouti army and Somaliland militias, either at the Lawyacado crossing or in Saylac.
With Saylac on the crosshairs of Ethiopia with the backing of the UAE, some questions are worth asking: what is IOG's purpose of creating an armed confrontations against Muse Bihi, when that could be an excuse for Abiy Ahmed to come to Muse Bihi's rescue? Why is the Gadabuursi clan not part of the trained clan militias that are supposedly to take control of Saylac? Is the Somali government party to the taking of Saylac, or is it solely an IOG military operation? Do the Gadabuursi clan leaders approve of the Saylac operation?
We don't have the answers yet, but as sources close to IOG's Saylac operation tell Daljir, expect answers in the next couple of weeks or even earlier.
