Somlia US embassy hires lobbying firm to protect sovereignty

[Thebluesomali]

I came across a lobbying firm on twitter that has supposedly been hired by the Somali ambassador to USA. They've been tweeting against SL government and advocating for a one Somalia policy. They have connections in the US government supposedly, so this might be a win for FGS.

War Xasan Sheekh yaa maanta u ducaayay, Cambuulada cunaayo ha lagu sii wado, siyaasad aadi aheen buu wadaa

Landers are in their feelings over this

Same lobbying group advocating against Abiy, hmm coincidence?

Somalis have to waste money and hire foreigners instead of sitting down to talk to each other. Every region pays their own lobbyists, some even directly have contacts with US senators and I wouldn't be surprised if they donated to their campaigns.

Somaliland spends some of their budget on lobbying.

I guess it was inevitable Somalia had to hire lobbyists. Will make White House visits more regular

This is not news. Farmaajo hired these incompetent hacks years ago. In that time Somaliland's standing with the US has only got stronger and stronger. Just this year SL has gained significant support in US congress, the US house passed a pro-Somaliland act, and the US army established a base in Berbera.

These "lobbyists" will just milk Somalia for all it has and deliver absolutely nothing.

What exactly is the US economic development and what does it involve?
