The sooner they booted out of Somalia, the better. Abiy couldn't have won the war in Tigray without resources.

Xaaji, the problem for Bixiye (don't know who came up with this term) he doesn't have the support of many in the North including the people whose land he wants to sell. If there's any war, Bihi will depend heavily on the Ethiopians. The Amhara and Oroma on the gates of Addis Abeba, Abiy can only spare so much.

One of the few things did right if it is true.

The snakes that are bankrolling the whole project

Fahad Yasin “When the sovereignty of the country is violated, there are no pro-government and opposition factions, therefore, we are ready to support you Mr. President Hassan Mohamud, and show the enemies of our country that our people are united. But it is necessary to see your leadership, which can gather the different diverse strengths that are embedded in the Somali people.”

Xaaji knows what is coming but he is hoping the benefits will outweigh the setbacks. For the first time, armed Ethiopians are rooming around Hargeisa. Imagine how the Oromo families in Hargeisa feel. Their army is literally driving around the city.

Two men come to mind when I look at Muse Biixi. There are Abdilahi Yusuf and Mohamed Aidid. One was shot dead by his clan militia and the other spent his last days in a foreign country. Muse might suffer similar fate, he will be killed or exiled.

The White House says US is working with partners to push against the MoU signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland. "We're certainly troubled," says John Kirby director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, adding: "As we've said many, many times, we support Somalia's sovereignty, their territorial integrity, and it's got to be respected." The situation poses a national security concern, Kirby said, in that it could embolden Islamist al-Shabab militants that have long been the main antagonist in Somalia's brutal civil war. "What we're particularly concerned about is this [Memorandum of Understanding] inked recently between Ethiopia and Somaliland threatens to disrupt the fight that Somalis, Africans and regional international partners, including us, are waging against Al-Shabab," he said

The US would probably endorse the port deal, but Abiy and Muse are loose cannons that can't be trusted.

The Turks favor one Somalia, but more importantly, they don't want to put in a position to choose between Ethiopia (Oromia at this point) and Somali proper.
