Respectfully urging the AU to take a firmer stand on Ethiopia's MoU with Somaliland. This act violates Somali sovereignty, and AU's lack of direct condemnation is troubling. Diplomatic language and mutual respect are key, but so is defending AU principles.
3/5 In my view, Any political group trying to gain political points from such national tragedy, is weak & void of respect for the nation & the victims of the tragedy.
We always stand with our nation our institutions & our people and should do so when attacked by extremists and

Ethiopia's MoU with Somaliland challenges core AU principles, setting a dangerous precedent in Africa. The AU's credibility is at risk if this issue isn't adequately addressed, highlighting the need to firmly uphold and enforce its foundational principles.

Made a speech at the dialogue on agricultural and food security in HOA, where I stated "Somalia is in danger of entering an unprecedented fifth consecutive failed rainy season, meaning hundreds of thousands of people face the risk of famine."

2/5 There is no political space and division that can exist when the issue is an extremist group targeting "soft targets" such as a bus load of young students.
Opposition should stand together with government and show bipartisanship against such cowardly acts.
