UAE condemns Somali authorities' seizure of private jet, funds

ABU DHABI, 10th April, 2018 (WAM) -- The UAE has condemned the seizure of its civilian aircraft carrying millions of dollars by authorities in Somalia on Sunday.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said that the jet was seized at Mogadishu airport carrying US$9.6 million in cash allocated to support the Somali army and trainees.

The Ministry added that some those on-board the plane had been held at gunpoint and assaulted by Somali security forces. This action is an illegal step that "contradicts the established diplomatic norms and traditions between countries and is a serious breach of the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two countries in November 2014," it continued.

It went on to say that the UAE "deplores this violation of international law and norms, at a time when the UAE has provided all kinds of political, economic, military and humanitarian support in the darkest conditions to establish security and stability in the Somali Federal Republic."

Bahrainis found new oil and gas field supposedly worthy billions. I guess they want to join the big leagues.

Just as Kheyr and Farmaajo were beginning to look like incompetent nobodies,  those morons came to their rescue.

Good stuff. Somalia is making a comeback and international spoilers should be becareful.

^Whether it is making a comeback or not, at this point, it seems to be the one doing the mocking, a nice change.

The Bahraini comments can be taken as a sign that Saudi Arabia is hugely displeased and they have asked their smaller allies to voice out their anger. 

The ramifications will be felt in the coming months. But one thing is for certain, Villa AMISom has its work cut out.

Can someone advice the arrogant spioled UAE/Bahrain, Vienna Convention regarding diplomatic bags does not allow money laundering.

I also believe UAE will continue this voilation and unfortunately will  find some dishonest , shameless and low characters in Somalia, in the partlaimanent or States happy to collect few monies and do the belly dancing.
