Good question. HSM is well aware.
This is why I don't understand HSM. He is too soft and unable to take full measures.
It’s makes you wonder, because that’s what a government is supposed to do, as per diplomatic standards. This doesn’t mean that you’re cutting ties with that country either.
When you’ve expelled the ambassador, you demand the representative to return home and come back with a proper explanation from their government about their actions. And Somalia will also revaluate their (former) relationship, if their action isn’t justified.
While Somalia is in a compromised position, that’s the bare minimum they can do. Plenty of African counties have done it to western ambassadors without much ramification. It’s more symbolic of protesting in a diplomatic language.
