What an illogical tweet!
Recognising "Somaliland" means accepting that African borders CAN be redrawn, thereby energising all secessionist and irredentist movements in the continent. It strengthens Greater Somalia rather than weakens it.
Somali National Armed Forces takes over the Madhamato Forward Operating Base (FOB) in #Kismayo from the ATMIS Ethiopian contingent as part of the second phase of the ATMIS troop drawdown.

My interview with @trtworld: Ethiopia's annexation attempt is a blatant violation of our sovereignty and territorial integrity, which are paramount. #NotAnInch
The absence of a foreign affairs minister, a weak puppet Prime Minister, a TikToker Defense minister, and critical security positions occupied by incompetent chiefs and friends of the President portray Somalia as weak and in disarray as we face serious aggression from a foreign nation.
The President's beating of the war drum on Friday sermon without addressing such internal issues is a failure, and there should be quick measures to fix the situation.-#Somalia
The US Envoy to the Horn of Africa Mike Hammer says there are already “troubling indications” that al-Shabaab is using the MoU signed by Ethiopia and Somaliland to generate new fighters.
“We are particularly concerned that the increasing tension over the MoU threatens to disrupt the fight that Somalis, along with Africans, and regional and international partners including the US are waging against al-Shabaab,” he said speaking at Thursday’s IGAD Summit in Kampala.
IGAD calls on Ethiopia to respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Somalia. Not listening to this call is tantamount to Ethiopia declaring war and annexing its neighbors land illegally.
