Somalia’s wish to capture Somaliland by force using Egyptian force in the name of unification is unfeasible, he says
By M.A. Egge
The President of the Republic of Somaliland H.E. Mr. Musa Bihi Abdi stated that Egypt’s hostility towards Somaliland is now in the open and cannot be hid anymore.
He made it vivid that the Egyptian’s main motive was to use Somaliland in its proxy war with Ethiopia; an act he said was completely abhor-able just as it was impossible.
The President made the statement as he addressed a multitude of residents who welcomed him and his entourage at the frontier border town of Togwajaale on Friday.
He noted that it evoked past memories of a similarly devastating war that was to the country’s detriment.
The Head of State was categorical once more when he held that the MoU of understanding signed with the government of Ethiopia earlier in the year will be formalized hence be tangible to the chagrin of Somaliland’s enemies.
He made it quite clear, and vividly at that, that the MoU has bared whole the real enemies of the nation of the Republic of Somaliland, with the Egyptians at the fore amongst other partners it worked with in cahoots.
He said that the naïve narrative of Somalia unification is as absurd as it is.
He pointed out that Somalia, which is a separate entity, cannot purport to want to unify Somalis and at the same time bring in Egyptian forces and base them in their country all in the hope of forcefully capturing Somaliland; but in essence it is a veiled proxy war waged upon Ethiopia.
He made the assurance that Somaliland would not in any way accept such evil innuendoes hence shall always defend its national integrity at all times.
He said that Somaliland wants to live in peaceful harmony with its neighbor hence bolster progressive bilateral relations and not be engaged in Somalia/Egyptian proxy wars that are built on evil whims.
He was quite clear that the Somali administration is indulged in something that is indeed completely against existence of the larger Somali community and maintained that Somaliland will never accept nor engage in a non-existent religious war or perceived enmity against Ethiopia.
The intentions of Somalia to occupy by force while using foreign countries such as Egypt and its cahoots demands the condemnation it deserves.
Already residents in various regions in Somalia have seen the Egyptian evil intentions fronted by their country and have already demonstrated publicly against it.
Meanwhile, the President has inaugurated various projects implemented in the area including those on clean water supplies.
For the past three weeks the President had crisscrossed the breadth of the nation from the eastern to the western regions in a bid to sensitize the populaces on the need of having peaceful elections and at the same time be vigilant in the defense of the country.
