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.
