About BaladXaawa: In an interview I gave


Photo of me by Somali Universal tv- an interview I gave to the tv on Jan 26, 2021.
 

In an interview I gave to Universal tv, I first shared my deep condolence to the civilians who are hurt in Balad-Hawa fighting.

 

On one hand, I traced to what happens in Baladxawa a historic failure once faced our country back in the 80s where part of the Somali family who felt dissolution has defected to Somalia's 'adversary' as the regime was reigning Somalia that era could claim- the defectors were getting back to strife against the Siyad Barre dictatorship former Somali Somali president came to power through junta. On the other hand, I shed a light on the ironic statement released by Kenya soon after the Baled-Hawa war and further was giving tacit contradiction of Kenya by Showing concerns on what it said “Kenya primary concern is that the renewed fighting engender large scale displacement of civilians inside Somalia and increase generates large numbers of refugees” The question I raised in the interview was— if Kenya is that worried about displacing people then why are they backing the Abdi Janan that some Kenyan member parliament said publicly statements loosely be a testimony by backing a 'fugitive' and why are they also not concerned about the insecurity that Mandera residents face by keeping armed militia in a Kenyan population of 830K?

 

I also argued the demand from Jubaland state and some oppositions who called the Somali government to withdrawn SNA from Baladxawo has put the gov embarrassment position and wasn't judicious- because Kenya has reported it has thronged immense of security agencies, police, and defense specialist officers in Mandera county— which could worsen the situation of Somali citizens in Baladxawo who had witnessed riot with the result border tension started from president HShM tenure.

 

In the interview, I also stressed that the Somalia government has shortened to bring prolific policies apart from SNA's presence in Gedo because a constructive political stream would work on mediating between local people, fostering rules and regulation has failed Janan and Madobe, and the government has never got a strategy about appointing capable mayor could govern Gedo while avoiding similar current lethal war.

 

I concluded a piece of advice to vet revising policies has been taken and a call for prevailed wisdom.
