Who broke the Adis Ababa agreement?

It looks like the conflict between the federal government of Somalia and Juba Administration is back.

The Addis Ababa agreement between the Somali government and then Ras Kambooni administration has no legal bases but it has a guarantee, means it depends on the position of the neighbouring Ethiopia and the security and political situations of Somalia.

6 months have passed since the agreement was reached, according to that agreement, the administration should hand over the ports to the federal government of Somalia.

For some how, officials from the administration have stated that they will not hand over the ports to the federal government.

Some analysts believe that they were trying to take advantage of the reports that were mentioning the government   infightings, the insecurity etc therefore, since then, they haven't been contacted because of the government being busy with itself!!

In this way-who ever advises in there- they thought they can sell this card to the world and be dealt with them as a regional state because the government  cannot do its national duties!

When president Hassan heard this, he gave the green light to the die-hard officials in the government.

The jubba leader has been to Ethiopia, he didnt won that one, now he is in kenya so he can meet with some western diplomats, Djibouti is also inviting him.

A delegation led by the Somali interior minister are on their way to Kismayo to save the agreement, they want to get the ports and integrate the armies/militias in side and out side of kismayo without exceptions, some reports are saying they already appointed the local commanders for the army in there but haven't yet arrived

The Juba administration is against this and see it as a coup and want to select them by themselves.

The agreement states the integration of the militias, also the UN envoy has stated during his visit to kismayo that the handing over of the ports to the government and the integration of the militias are a must.

If the things were not sorted out, the government may take advantage of this and accuse the Juba administration of breaking the agreement.

The other things that the timing is not good for Juba administration, though Kismayo still has the KDF, Kenya is in a bad position it also has better relationship with the federal government  now so they may not support the administration this time publicly.

Let us wait and see how they will treat the government officials.

The Economist "Somalis in Britain: They are the largest refugee population, are among the poorest, worst-educated & least-employed"

Really?

This is an ignorant piece if misinformation that demonstrates once again what has become of The Economist.

What a narrow minded article, This is beyond offensive, wrong, foul and ignorant. I wonder the person who wrote this has any brain cells to think constructively! This article is simply not telling the truth. 

There are many small minded people out here. Generalizing entire community, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Humans tend to jump to conclusions based on insufficient information.

What do you think of this article?

A heartfelt congratulation to my fellow Somali brother Abukar Awale.

Congratulation to my fellow Somali brother Abukar Awale (The famous Anti-Khat Campaigner) for not giving up on his dream which was to see khat to be banned in the UK completely and i am pleased that he has finally achieved that historic victory by the help of the Somali community in the UK as a whole. As Nelson Mandela taught us to never give up on something that seems impossible which i believe Abukar practiced what Mandela taught us as he famously said, “it always seems impossible until it’s done.'' Abukar has throughout sacrificed and dedicated his life for the good of the Somali people in the Uk. Indeed he is a national hero without a doubt and  he is truly an inspiration to many young kids who are lacking of a good fatherhood.

The 60 year old legal importation into the UK of the stimulant substance known widely as khat have finally been brought to an end, as the substance is added to Class C of the Misuse of Drugs Act. 

The drug is already been outlawed in other European countries, to avoid Britain becoming a hub for trading in a substance that was illegal elsewhere. 

I personally believe that Khat is our second biggest enemy after Qabiil/Qabyaalad and the Somali community in the UK have broadly welcomed the ban as well as it will give hope to many mothers and wives whom their families have been destroyed by this drug.

Khat was/is an obstacle to the essence of integration, unemployment, debt, crime, misery and mental health problems.

It has destroyed the social fabric of Somali families, It has also victimized hundreds of thousands of children as they don't get the affection, kindness, and care of their fathers and mothers, which affects the nurturing of these children. Spending their time sitting around chewing Khat instead of furthering their education, working towards a future, or making a difference in the world. 

From the High divorce rate to the mass unemployment in our community; Khat has a BIG share of the blame.

More stay-at-home dads taking care of their children will be seen soon Insha’ALLAH, instead of spending their time at Marfish and chewing bloody grass. 

Massive thanks to the British government for listening their vulnerable citizens by banning Khat.

Somalia president takes the right move in the right time!

Due to pressure from Saudi Arabia and the UAE president Hassan Sheikh is participating the inauguration of Abdulfatah Azizi as president of Egypt! 

This is a great strategy to get the financial and political backing of the Arab world wich is dominated by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait who's a bit neutral in their conflict with the new broker Qatar

Having seen how Sudan is aligned with Qatar and Turkey and lacks the rest of the gulf backing, if Somali government secures the gulf States and Turkey together will be a great diplomatic achievement!

The Somali government has received yesterday a four modern coast guard boats from the visiting Turkish war navy!

What a geopolitical changes! We are witnessing the re-birth of the somali state!

On the other hand, Djibouti is plying a good friend role for the government in the horn and IGAD by using its strategic relations with the US

Since presidents Ismail Ghelle visit to Washington, the government has received more US support by appointing an american ambassador to somalia for the first time in decades!

Djibouti has also involved more in IGAD and AMISOM policies towards somalia.

So, having turkey, saudi arabia, UAE, djibouti and behind them the US is a great diplomatical development for hassan sheikhs regime!
