Things that happen when you appease secessionists and don't take tough stand against Ethiopia

I want to know if the price of land increased

If there's ever a war. I don't expect the Somali Gov to do much. Like their first invasion, Ethiopians will be confronted by the public.

Of the most interesting to me is the bit about the Oromofication of PP and the Executive.

This is the fairest assessment I saw so far by a westerner.

Nobody trusts HSM. He ran to Turkey out of desperation and under public pressure.

If HSM "leased" 20 shoreline to Ethiopia, the reaction would be same. No sane or forward thinking Somali would lease their land to Abiy. Abiy committed to a deal without getting his ducks in. a row. Now his ego won't allow him to back down. If this comes down to war, the war will be fought by the Somali public. Nobody expects Turks to interfere or for HSM to mobilize the country for a war. The advantage Somalis have they will be fighting in their land or for their land. They will have unlimited access to weapons. Like 77 contributed to our downfall, invading Somalia might be their down fall.

He doesn't control most of Amhara. Their insurgents which he ironically armed during the Tigray war were getting stronger every day.

If we can sniff each other out, there will be no problem finding out who's Oromo or who's not. The concern is their sense of entitlement and their leader's willingness to use violence to attain what he thinks is his destiny.

Oromo are getting more comfy by the day.

Turkey confirms Somalia maritime security deal amid Somaliland tensions Turkey confirms Somalia maritime security deal amid Somaliland tensions WWW.AL-MONITOR.COM Somalia ratified a defense cooperation agreement signed with Turkey earlier this month that would see Ankara help Mogadishu secure its maritime interests.

Abiy is serious. Whether he can accomplish his goals is another matter.

It's! Even more so as there's no political settlement on the constitution and the very nature of Somali federalism.
