The newly appointed foreign minister is bringing sanity back to Somaliland's foreign policy.

[TheLand]

I don’t know much about him, but he’s nothing like the previous FM, who was certainly a spineless coward.

The same people who are criticising this guy are the ones who celebrated when the previous FM degraded himself by going half nude to some cultural tradition for the irrelevant country of Eswatini, attempting to tie it to diplomacy.

Was that the clown Sulub or someone else who went back to their cawaan qaawan roots? SL is truly an entertaining comedy show

Lets be objective here sxb

How does giving away 20km of land to a neighbouring third world country help Somaliland's quest for recognition?

Given every inch of land in sland belongs to a random people, where are you getting those mystery 20km from? Do you actually think the same somali clans that won't allow the camels of the neighbouring clans to drink in their wells gonna allow non somalis to take dozens of kilmoters of their land?

Given the largest military base and port are not more than 1km, what is the rational behind ethiopia asking for 20km strip of land? What do they need for such swathes of land?

From the legal perspective isn't the somaliland constitution unequivocally against giving away 1 inch of sland territory no matter what? And isn't it illegal for presidents to sing deals when their term is approaching let alone a president ruling on extension term?

Obviously the deal has economic and political benefits everyone from the UN and every other neutral commentator has mentioned it's a deal. No one says it's a crazy deal, i've never read that apart form in Somalian circles. It's only unionists who would really even claim that an unrecognized state has even a crumb of value to itself or the world. They want to go back under FGS but come up with nonsense arguments that Ethiopian recognition is worthless when it's not at all.

The fact that you guys are even letting Ethiopia dictate the terms makes it a bad deal. When someone wants something from you you’re supposed to be the one deciding on what terms. I’m completely non bias cause of the fact that idc whether you get recognition but I’m telling you it’s a bad deal cause it’s your land you should be deciding what the terms are.

Ethiopia is the more desperate party in this situation but you’re letting them negotiate from a place of power. What you should be doing is demanding A LOT of money if ur gonna sell ur ass make it worth your time. Start high ask for $1B. Even if you want recognition you don’t let them know that tell them you don’t care bluff them. Once you get them to pay some extortion prices you come to them and tell them your willing to lower the prices a little bit in exchange for recognition it puts you in a position where you have all the power.

Dumb. The deal had port usage included so it would have meant a lot of revenues.

f*ck the deal you’re being short sighted these nighas are landlocked you can charge them triple whatever they’re gonna pay under the original deal. Recognition isn’t gonna feed ur people or pay the bills don’t be a dumbass.

No one actually can tell a single economic or political benefit for us in this mystery deal and thats why you failed to give us answers to any of the questions I raised, the only justification we might have for this shady deal is that muqdisho regime opposes it and hence its good for us, but we are in 2025 and we all know muqdisho opposing a thing doesn't necessarily make that thing good for us

To add further questions, how can someone know the benefits of the deal when all he know is an ethiopians celebrating about being a non landlocked nation which itself entails land annexation?

What could possibly be the economic benefits of the deal if ethiopia gets a free access to sea and in no need to use berbera? How can ethiopia giving handouts to a certain corrupted officials gonna contribute the general economy of the society?

I can continue the whole day but there mere fact that there are hundreds of questions and basically no single answer to them except qadaadwayn opposing it makes the whole thing fishy

There's more to this story he wasn't in post when he made those remarks and it appears theres something else.

 

[kozar]

Waddani can tell us unless Muse Bixi took the MoU to his farm. Like that's why I'm confused to begin with. Why havent' they seen it. The first question is the most important one.

Before even discussing if it's a good deal or not.

There is nothing good about trying to sign contracts with ethiopia, eritrea struck a deal with ethiopia just to be deceived into being a habeshi colony till they sacrificed millions of souls to reclaim their independence, again afwerki struck a peace deal with ethiopia to save abiy and ethiopia from balkanization just for them to threaten eritrea sovereignty and territorial integrity

If they want a port to use they can use berbera but givjng away 20km strip of land isn't necessary especially when you know the real intention of the 2nd party

Ethiopia can't do war or annexation (they are definitely too weak right now, I think they are being used for navy plus it looks like politics for their ruling party) . Recognition would have been good. 20KM is too much though.

But will the same apply if US wants a base?

The newly appointed Somaliland Foreign Minister (Cabdirahmaan Daahir Aadan) has taken a strong and uncompromising stance on key diplomatic issues, signaling a decisive shift in the region’s political direction. Even before his appointment, he publicly rejected the contentious MoU with Ethiopia in a meeting with his community (Gadabursi) in America, denouncing any deal that could compromise land or autonomy. Since taking office, he has reaffirmed his position, vowing to bring closure to the MoU despite not yet receiving the official documents that are being withheld.

He compared the idea of gaining recognition from Ethiopia in exchange for land to “entering the hellfire,” emphasising the moral and political importance of perseverance and claims to self determination.

Furthermore, he has sacked the advisory board that served the former Foreign Minister and was involved in work on the MoU, signaling a clear break from past policies and a commitment to reshaping foreign engagements, particularly with Ethiopia, with integrity.

How do you view him? Is he liked in awdal?
