The Chairperson of the African Union Commission calls for mutual respect between Ethiopia and Somalia Addis Ababa, 3 January 2024 : The Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union, H.E Moussa Faki Mahamat, has been closely following the tension resulting from signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Ethiopia and the region of Somalia (Somaliland) . The Chairperson calls for calm and mutual respect to de-escalate the simmering tension between the Governments of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the Federal Republic of Somalia. In this regard He urges the two countries to refrain from any action that unintentionally may lead to a deterioration of the good relations between the two neighbouring Eastern African countries. He stresses the imperative to respect unity, territorial integrity and full sovereignty of all African Union member states including Federal Republic of Somalia and Federal Democratic republic of Ethiopia . Furthermore, the Chairperson underscores the importance of adhering to the norms of good neighbourliness to promote and consolidate peace, security and stability in the Horn of Africa region. He urges the two brother countries to engage without delay in a négociation process to settle their differences in the most constructive, peaceful and collaborative manner to consolidate and deepen their cooperation to serve peace and security in the region.

dp re US response.

House Speaker and his deputies to be selected on Thur.

I know. The likes of him have no principles, and would hawk their beloved mothers for farthings.

Are you off your trolley asking him about wars? He will change his name to Gabre Xunjuf before you could ask him to count to 3.

According to Habasha: a) Obtain a permanent naval base and commercial maritime service? a) From an economic perspective alone, Et now relies upon Jibouti and Berbera for its trade, what will happen to trade through said ports when Habasha creates a port of its own? Wajaale trade route shall cease to exist. b) From demographic shift, what will happen to Awdal when Habasha floods the region with its people to operate and traverse vast land connecting Et to the sea? c) With Et financially struggling, in a precarious state with internal conflict ongoing, from where will it get capital to invest? b) No country will be affected?

From the 'dhaqan' perspective, a two-State structure has been agreed upon, but the shape, politics, and security are still pending, as in 'kala gurasho'. Garaado and Issimo made that clear as much. Issims usually do not engage in the politicking after submitting designated names of MPs, Some in the opposition are still complaining, but the Parliament is set, and an interim Speaker has been selected. MPs will now begin the process of choosing a Speaker, and a Presidential Election Body. Any subsequent disputes could go to the Constitutional Court. The Presidential election date is always set on Jan. 8th.

So, this whole 'we are Oromo' theatrics was a foreplay to this event, a way of softening the gullible public to swallow a sour morsel. We are doomed. So was the Jibouti agreement. Dots are forming up a rather shapely linear trajectory.

This is phase II of a more sinister, bigger plan. A 500 mile railway tracks from Adis to Jibouti by way of ?, shal we say Zaylac? Train route: Addis Ababa => Adama => Dire Dawa => Dawanle => Ali Sabieh => Jibouti. https://www.seat61.com/Ethiopia.htm

He is a bandit, but then again so are the puppets in the opposition. It is a disservice to all concerned.

This is dangerous and desperate. Let us see if the general public is awake, and how they respond to their future signed away.

Correct; Jamahir threatened Garaado, esp. 2 with much influence in PL politics, they would be beheaded if they dared say otherwise.

I think it was intended for SSC, Awdal and GXJS, but then again, it does not matter, as political leaders signed a Trusteeship agreement under the Brits. Revisit of the Bevan plan except this time, it is only for 2 of the 5 colonies.

It is a compromise till the two States have agreed upon a separation plan, which is pending a grand conference to be held in Las Anod post PL elections.

How do you read point 5?

Let us hope return to good times is quicker than bad days lasting.

This was a bold decision, and a good development, which spared dithering PL political leaders as to the direction. Actually Garaado did both SSC & PL a favour. As stipulated in Article 62, section (10). As agreed and stated as of Feb. 6th. As previously agreed among all Issimo incl. Garaado, the plan was to delay the separation after the election, but now is as good as any.

With all due respect to C/Qadir Jirde, and as always I admire his calm and mature thinking, a rare voice in SL, but he is being shortsighted (I would not want to designate him dishonest), and perhaps had been spending too much time with tolka, serving out popular talking points in Waqooyi. A few points to highlight: a) Peace is SL was not unique, if anything, it was rooted in and flowed from traditional Somali peace and reconciliation mechanisms. b) SNM did attempt to invade other regions and take revenge against neighbouring clans at four fronts namely Awdal, Sanaag, and Sool & Cayn. These had been documented, and in one of those, Makhiri elders scheduled to meet with their SNM-aligned counterparts in Ceerigaabo had been massacred in the middle of the night same way as those of Galkacyo by USC. c) Not all of the South had been taken over by warlords. He could peddle that logic and language when he is talking with reer Xamar. d) He is promoting confederation whilst critiquing federalism, and is not doing a good job of it. On the issue of conflict among the Somali elites, it is as if he and C/Raxman Baadiyow read the same manual. Baadiyow presented at Heritage conference in Jibouti discussing the same issue among others incl. religion etc. A good man, but should have come better briefed.
