How are people on this forum ignoring this but still ranting about the mou. This is twenty times worse, why aren't there 20 threads about this NOW. I've only seen one. Holy shit this is insane, I'm so vexed. I had no clue somalia was THAT weak

Don't listen to the fearmongers trying to make us powerless in our own country. It's not seizing control when it's already mandated for them to secure it.

These are all in a region where the security of infrastructure comes under the AU mission in Somalia. These regions are in "Sector 3 comprising Bay and Bakool as well as Gedo (Sub Sector 3) comes under Ethiopian command"

AMISOM Military Component - AMISOM

The Military Component is the biggest of the three components of the AU Mission in the country. The component is mandated to conduct peace support

You really think the fg would keep its mouth shut if they started to sabotage on a UN mandated mission, paid for by the US and EU?

It really depends on government and such. Somalia’s current foreign policy is reliance and not building up its own armament capabilities. It’s up to you to reach your own conclusion, but depending on who’s in charge, Somalia’s military would be something to fear.

and this is just a continuation of the MOU crisis, what’s going on in Somalia at the moment is all in relation to that. Some regions of Somalia who got xasuuqed in the past by Somalis are reliant on Ethiopians for protection. Somalia itself uses foreign troops to aid our country so they see nothing wrong with this, foreign troops get used against other Somalis too (such as in gedo with Kenyans bombing their villages and killing people+livestock). Are they traitors? yes, but the situation for them is a far more complex one. A Somali government which isn’t out to get them would certainly get their support. Maybe we can reach an agreement with them regarding Ethiopia

Is ONLF majority Cawlihan? What about WSLF, they were mixed with everyone right? I remember being told there was a clear distinction in the demographics of the groups, I know ONLF came after post-77
