NEW — PKK has announced that it has begun withdrawing all its fighters from Turkey as part of the peace talks with the government.
First group reached to Iraq, according to the PKK, and could be seen below
BREAKING:
The U.S. officially removes Colonel Nathan McCormack from his position at the Joint Chiefs of Staff for posts calling Israel a death cult and saying America is acting as Israel’s proxy.
You portray Al-Shabaab (AS) as if it were NATO, with thousands of reserve fighters stationed in every Somali town. The reality? AS is operating at maximum strain, suffering heavy casualties, and morale is arguably at its lowest point in at least a decade. Try harder
Breaking News: It’s official—Turkey has finalized an agreement to establish Somalia as its protectorate by deploying up to 5,000 SADAT special forces, akin to the Wagner Group in Turkey. This strategic move aims to thwart Al-Shabaab’s advances on Mogadishu and ensure that Hassan Sheikh remains in power through martial law.
Military intelligence and diplomatic sources have confirmed the latest security arrangement awarded to the Erdogan government by Hassan Sheikh, which includes the following key points:
1. Hassan Sheikh will dismiss Prime Minister Hamza, dissolve the current government and parliament, and create a Government Council comprised of 25 individuals to oversee Somalia for the next five years.
2. The Turkish government, under Erdogan, will deploy 5,000 SADAT special forces to secure Mogadishu initially, push back Al-Shabaab, and implement martial law.
3. Hassan Sheikh and his new council of 25 will resort to imprisoning or assassinating key opposition figures who resist the new martial law.
4. Turkey’s renewed support for Somalia is likely to resonate positively with locals in Mogadishu, reminiscent of the Turkish presence during the 2011 famine.
5. As part of the Ankara deal, Ethiopia may support Turkey's protectorate by sending troops to the Jubbaland region.
6. Hassan Sheikh has awarded new covert concessions, including lucrative oil deals, resource rights, and military and naval bases.
However, the challenges posed by this political shift, reminiscent of the 1969 Siad Barre coup or the Siad Barre fall in the 1989/90s, are significant:
1. Al-Shabaab has already stationed 9,000 troops within Mogadishu and its surroundings, with reinforcements of up to 8,000 expected to launch assaults, potentially turning Mogadishu into a battleground akin to Fallujah.
2. The group has encircled Baidoa and Jowhar and is committed to launching sequential attacks on major cities like Mogadishu, Baidoa, and Jowhar—where they may seize Baidoa and Jowhar in the coming weeks, although Mogadishu may offer resistance due to the presence of Turkish forces and remaining SNA troops.
3. The alliance between Hassan Sheikh and Erdogan is poised to radically alter the political landscape, potentially transforming Somalia into another Libya or Syria.
4. Egypt and Gulf States, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, may rally support for the resistance, mirroring the situation in Libya and potentially leading Somalia into a long-term proxy war.
Global Reactions:
1. The U.S. government, preoccupied with issues in Ukraine and Yemen, is likely to take a cautious approach, waiting to assess the evolving situation in Somalia before committing support/appose.
2. EU nations, already stretched thin with humanitarian efforts in Syria, may find relief in supporting Turkey's protectorate in Somalia, especially as Erdogan continues his involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
3. The UK may align with the EU’s stance or hold off until the dynamics in Somalia shift.
4. Given that the new AUSUM mission in Somalia has yet to receive funding, international donors, particularly from the West, may back this new arrangement as it could prove less costly or even financially advantageous.
If this plan succeeds within the first two months, Qatar and Turkey may push Al-Shabaab to the negotiation table, leading to a "Doha Version 2.0," wherein Al-Shabaab might agree to a political settlement, potentially obtaining a role for a prime minister. This could transform Somalia into a Lebanon-style situation, fostering a new Islamist facist regime in the Indian Ocean that could benefit Iran and its proxies in the long term.
First of all, I need to clarify that it was @FlyFrontier not AlaskaAir.
Lady who comes to me with questions was very rude from the very beginning, even though I speak very decent English and can understand everything and agreed to assist, she still insists on removing me from my seat. What was the base for that, racial, national or other one, I'm not sure.
But after 2 minutes of conversation, she called security and I was deplaned from this aircraft, after 1,5 hour I boarded another airline one and left to my destination.
I did my best to stay calm and respecttul as you can see on the video.
But those crew members could do better next time and just be nice with clients.
Trump posts video of Jeffrey Sachs condemning Netanyahu for dragging the US into endless foreign wars.
Nethanyahu just cancelled his trip to the US for Trump's inauguration.
Coincidence?
As the new year begins, Somalia stands at a crossroads. We can rise as a united nation, proving our strength to the world. Let’s leave the past behind and build a future of hope, or risk a divided legacy that brings lasting sorrow. The choice is ours. Happy New Year
I categorically refute claims that Ethiopia has been granted access to the Red Sea. These baseless assertions lack any foundation. Somalia remains committed to protecting its sovereignty and ensuring transparency on national issues.
@BGatesIsaPyscho Islam will dominate US because of higher birth rates, immigration, and Religious Switching. The Muslim population in the U.S. is younger on average, which may affect future trends as younger people start families and have children. Its a matter of when not If
