Somalia's inept Foreign Minister

Recommended Posts

This dude actually thinks that everything will be hunkydory and business as usual. Ninkan waligii dad cadaan ah lama shaqayn ayay u badantay.

The IC's concerns and frustrations as shown in the open letters in the past week were a "notice". It seems, VillaAMISOM's actions may have hastened a more different response from the IC soon. 

We will wait and see.

Key points:

1. Persona-Non-Grata is used by countries that have very sour relationship or no relationship at all with the foreign state or body that they are expelling.

2. The Security Council have powerful mandate that they are the only body that can interfere in other countries' internal affairs. They can approve sending foreign troops into another country for example. 

3. SRSG are not typical diplomat. SRSG operate under Security Council resolution and carry out their mandate according to the resolution.

4. So far Nick Haysom has not been affected by Cheeseman' PNG-gate.

For the record is Somaliland welcoming the new UN chief of Somalia,?  It will not be long before someone will make a great news when the UN chief of Somalia  visits Hargeysa. The Hargeysa administration gamboled and lost the bet here. A cheap shot which backfired as soon it fired. Assuming the next UN chief will be more modisho friendly the Hargeysa administration will have  even more headaches. We are still waiting the   Berbera  project to move forward.  Things are not going well for  the separist and this new year didn’t started better. In otherhand it will be more to celebrate the  rebirth of the nation of Somalia .

Diktoore Oodka,

I highly doubt that Amb. Donald Yamamoto had anything to do with this. The Ambassador is highly experienced one, this was the work of juvenile Cheeseman.

The SG's statement (read here) highlighted what everyone worth his salt in as far as Diplomacy 101 is concerned was saying.  You cannot use PNG on SRSG. The normal channels to only a request through the Secretary General's office. 

By accepting this violation of International norms,  the UN SG has given Cheeseman a lifeline. If he were to reject it, which is within his powers, it would have been a huge embarrasment for Cheeseman and Co. 

The UN SG talked with Cheeseman 2 times over the course of deliberating a response. I am very much sure Cheeseman begged the SG to accept the F*Kup and the price for accepting this could be enormous, diplomatically speaking. 

@Duufaan,

On face value, it may seem a win. But in real terms, this is a huge lose for Cheeseman and Co. If only you could have a sneak peek into the Diplomatic community's messages in the last few days, then you could have realised how seriously damaging this is.

With regards to Somaliland, it has made the right move. When this sort of F*kup happens, you have to make a move and it made the right move. I am sure in the Diplomatic spheres, it is being discussed in good-terms. And I am sure a lot of people who have clout in the diplomatic world must be looking into Somaliland's case in a different light. 

All we will await is the fallout from this in the next months or year.

Diktoore,

Digest this statement

Quote

Mr. Guterres said on Friday that in the interests of putting the Somali people, and the work of UNSOM first, he would be appointing a new Special Representative and head of mission, "in due course". He offered Mr. Haysom his "full confidence" in his long and successful track record on service to the UN. "

NEWS.UN.ORG

In the wake of the Somali Government's decision last week to expel the head of the UN's assistance mission, UNSOM, the Security Council on Saturday cautioned that 2019 would be "a critical year" for the east African nation that is reconsituting itself after decades of conflict.

 

As I understand it, that statement reeks of dismay, disbelief and the fact that the UN SG is assuming the morale high grounds here by saying that this is not about Phantom Government that we are replacing the SRSG but it is for the Somali People's Sake. 

That in my opinion is very powerful. It show lost in trust with Villa AMISom. It also conveys that the UN should not become a scapegoat for the failed and failing Cheeseman. Hence, Kaadi badane waa loo gogol badiya
