Abiy Ahmed Ali visits Djibouti

Recommended Posts

And before yesterday had long meeting with Al Bashir of Sudan.

Everything according to plan. Next should be Mogadishu. I don't expect it to be announced not to burden the SFG with too much security expenses.

 

Bravo Abiy

GERD

SUDAN

DJIBOUTI

SOMALIA

Then everybody else.

Unlike what OO says, this trip wasn't probably planed.

There is a war brewing on the Djibouti border and Abiy Ahmed asking  Cumar Ghelle to calm down the uprising. He will promise that Cabdi illey will be gone soon, but  " please give me some time and calm down the situation" 

The head of the Shiniile uprising is in Addis now talking to Abiy.

galbeedi,

What your secret of how fast you go from global regional thinking to village politics?

Can you connect these things?

1. Next highest American diplomat spent 6 days in Eritrea, Djibouti and Ethiopia

2. UAE in Somalia maybe hot issue, but in Djibouti its real, but not shouting match just silent knifings

3. At this specific time Ghelleh needs Ethiopia like 24 hours monitoring thus the two states bordering him especially the Afar since common border with Eritrea and Djibouti.

Think big sometimes. The Jawar coffee shop gossip has limits among big men. I have no wish or interest in belittling people of Shinnile, but what is Shinnile when US DOD is issuing warning to pilots that there is powerful laser systems in Djibouti threatening near chinese base.

I do not know what Abiy's views on oil and gas are, but the gas or oil pipeline may also be an issue that concerns both presidents on the ground. Shinnile maybe in the way. Ghelleh is more pushing for this more than Illey/Seyum or past Ethiopian PMs.

 

I did not even know then, but next PM of Ethiopia should visit Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia first was my schedule and is happening like clock work.

galbeedi,

For all your closeness to the Oromo, do you speak their language?

Ghelleh does, at very least can conduct easy business in it, just not formal and documented. In Amharic of course Ghelleh has working knowledge. That is in addition to Somali, Afar, French and English and little Arabic.

Not too shubby. No leader in Africa can match him in languages.

Observer,

Oromo and Somali have 40 commonality so technically, galbeedi does9_9

If you mean 40% I do not agree. One cannot understand each other totally. Unless you are talking a dialect of Af Somali and another dialect of Oromiffa. Remember that region to region people cannot easily and comfortably communicate among Oromo and to some degree among Somali as well. There is a lot of "do you mean like that' everywhere.

40% common vocabulary is big, you can make out by addition of hand signals and face movement. As far as I know, you cannot make out between complete Af Somali (as opposed to border areas to Oromo or Afar) and complete Oromo (further west from Somali areas).

 

I was asking galbeedi since he seems to be emotionally attached to them. If this was 1994 and our galbeedi was in Ethiopia, he would have been classified Oromo for psychological makeup. lol

It might be done in secret or announced at later time. If Mr. Farmaajo prefers it can also be done in other regions which even has more meaning for both countries. But it has to happen soon. Its crucial.

      It is official. The era of despot Cabdi Illey is over in the Somali region. 
      After closed door deliberations, the DDSI party had elected Mr. Ahmed Shide as the new leader which officially ends the 11 year painful rule of Illey. 
      This selection will pave Mr. Shide as the new president of the region very soon. Also, the Liyu police has been disbanded as the security force of the Somali region. For the last few days the Liyu have been looting and pillaging communities while abandoning their positions. 
      Also, members of Illey family are been investigated by the authorities for the theft of millions of dollars. 
      It is an end of a painful chapters for a lot of Somalia. A very small group of blood thirsty group,  created and organised by the Tplf and Cabdi Illey have been overthrow thanks to the Oromo uprising. While many Somali including my self were looking to preserve the old order for the sake order and continuity, millions of Somalia want the total demise and the removal of the tyrants who oppressed them for so long. Just like the Oromo celebrated the demise of the Tplf order, for the millions of Somalis the end of Illey and his henchmen is a great relief and a new era of freedom. 
       
      There were some security concern about the disbanding of the Liyu police and the threat of anarchy and outlaws in the countryside, yet for most people, their disbanding was a relief. Analysts believe that the Liyu is too criminal or murderous to be a force that might fight for independence or even tribal reasons. They were trained to kill and abuse Somali and will not be needed in a land where people are seeking justice and freedom. 
      It is mind boggling how a small ruthless group had managed to oppress and control millions of Somalia for so long. They acted like there is no one else but themselves.
      Now, Illey and his supporters must accept the new order and collaborae for the peace and development of all Somali. He and Tplf wanted to finish off the Somali and createa long  civil war between the Somali and Oromo. There were a lot of victims, but we hope the worst to be over. He gambled to the lives of thousands of Somali to save the Tplf order. After he lost the gamble, he continued to the destructive route until it is too late.

      Very sad news.
       
      Nothing is known yet from the police, but the media is reporting that he died from gun shot and the hand gun colt has been found in the car.

      galbeedi,
      Why didn't you bring the most important news for you, the oil well to be drilled announced by Abiy?
      Why this go around to bring civil war among Somalis? What do you gain?
      Why is the area where the pipeline to pass more useful to you than the area where the prospective well is?
       
      Why cover with Iley why not say the main motivation for you the trade route?
