Africa has abandoned Somalia

Tell me one positive thing that the Arab league did in its entire existence ??

I can name two extremely easy ones:

Provided Somalia an oil refinery for free, allowing us to get discounted oil from Arab nations and to sell it to other African countries at a profit.

Being part of the Arabsat initiative, despite holding a 0.2% stake, it has allowed Somalia to receive satellite access for telecommunications. Basically how your dad and uncle watch Somali TV is thanks to Arabsat.
 
And some Somalis have been insulting, trash talking the Arabs & saying that we should be closer to Africans lol. Wonder where they are now? Arabs support us more than the useless AU.:ufdup:

We doubted those guys tbh, I was expecting them to dip out on us and the African nations to have our back.

I'm not too surprised tbh, I thought the Arabs would support us simply because Ethiopia is not a member of the Arab League, so its obvious that they should support Somalia, who IS a member of the Arab league. However, Ethiopia has more sway in the African continent so I'm not surprised the AU chose to be neutral.

Guess being part of the Arab league is finally starting to pay off.

Now you’re starting to see the light, Habibi. Let this be a lesson for all the self hating Anti-Arabs and Pro-Africanists.

Black Africans will always side with Ethiopia over Somalia.

LG gang we gon slide for my nigga 🤐🥷
End of the day the AU is very vaguely telling Ethiopia to back off refer to this part of the statement "he urges the two countries to refrain from any action that unintentionally may lead to a deterioration of the good relations between the two neighbouring countries."

Recognizing Somaliland is an outright attack on Somalia's sovereignty and would destroy any relationship between the two countries. The AU is just using fancy wording to make it look like they're not picking side's between two member states but they know Ethiopia is the aggressor in the situation and they'll have no choice but to back us if it comes to it. Somaliland getting recognition from even one country could have a ripple effect on a number of other African secession movement which is a nightmare for the AU.

The only reason the Arab league is backing us outright is because we are a member state and a non member state is threatening our sovereignty they kinda have no choice but to at least make a fancy statement staying they stand behind us. Doesn't really mean too much it's all for the press the last time we went war Yemeni arabs sent troops to help out the opps.

This argument needs to be ditched in 2024. Somalia received Arab support during the Ogaden War.

Reality was that both the Soviets and the US didn’t support Somalia in the war and discouraged their allied states from supporting us, meaning nearly every country was told to avoid us.

1. But countries like Egypt did send daily arms shipments secretly to Somalia, which ended up being seized by Kenya.



2. Saudi Arabia admitted to the US that it gave military aid to Somalia and criticised its ultimatum to Barre that he give up the Ogaden claims in exchange for military aid.

“Prince Saud asked if the US was not willing to help Somalia first and then see if the Ogaden problem could be solved. He noted that the Ogaden problem has been there at least since independence. Asking them to do something that is against their national dream is difficult. The Somalis claim that the Somalis in the Ogaden are part of Somalia. If the US says that it will only help if Somalia abandons the Ogaden, the US is putting forward an unacceptable condition.
“When Saudi Arabia helped Somalia militarily it was because of the Soviet threat to Somalia. Normally, Saudi Arabia will only give countries economic help. But Somalia was threatened militarily by the Soviet Union and is important to Saudi Arabia. If it can maintain its sovereignty and independence and integrity with help from Saudi Arabia, that is fine.”


3. Iraq and Syria were accused of sending troops to fight alongside Somalia in the Ogaden.

Just for the record @Al Adnani has been excommunicated from the arab camp.. He's now part of the madow camp led by the xabashis.. He will soon be changing name to Al madow ibn somalilander.
When I side with habeshas (fellow Semites) and our Arab brothers in the UAE I am excommunicated from the Somali Arab organization but when you guys side with the EAC (Bantus) you guys are “true Arabs”. Subhanallah

Don't you have some Amharic classes to participate my madow friend.. As you already know the arab league which btw the UAE is part has condemned Ethiopia, we have Egypt and all our Arab brothers supporting us.. Enough with the talking, we'll see you along side the xabashi dogs on the battlefield.

As for Yemen, they were not unified at that time. In fact, there were two divided countries. The first was called *South Yemen* and the second was called *the Yemen Arab Republic. In the north (the two later merged and became present-day Yemen), South Yemen was a UN-recognized state. Socialism was supported by the Soviets, North Korea and East Germany. The reason for their support is not clear to me, but I think it is because they did not want to stop being supported by their Soviet allies

Bro is stating his case against the ana arab board 💀
 
We never had allies, I am surprise y'all are surprised.
By the way the arab support is only a lip service. Don't forget Arab nations like UAE and Qatar and Saudi are activiely destabilizing Somalia by supporting clan maamul leaders and alshabab.

Don't be so naive and think Arabs care. Somali people must know and belief that they have no friends and shouldn't accept from others, we must rely on ourselves only.

Arabs aren't a monolith tho. Obviously the Gulf states don't care but what about Egypt? Or Morocco?

These are the weak Arabs with no money or influence. The gulf Arabs rule the arab world, and they actively destabilize Somalia. Just look what they are doing in Sudan. Look what they did in Yemen, the moment we tell them to leave Somalia and stop funding terrorist and political groups that oppose the central government, don't think they wouldn't do in Somalia what they are doing in Sudan. I obviously welcome their support, but that doesn't mean we should let our guards down and think they are our brothers, they are far from that!

The Arab League has also expressed strong condemnation as well as Qatar and Egypt.

Meanwhile, IGAD (another African organisation) has expressed “respect”.

I think this week has justified why Somalia should remain in the Arab League. It’s our only buffer whenever we’ve been ganged up on by the AU.
The UAE & Saudi Arabia the real heavy hitters in the Arab World have not come out against the Mou between Ethiopia & SL. The UAE is heavily invested in SL and Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia is heavily invested in Ethiopia as well.
