Will Israel & Turkey Push Somalia to Declare War on Kenya?
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2020 3:43 am
Somalia declaring war on Kenya is equivalent to Bangladesh declaring war on India. In both cases, it would mean that there are powerful countries urging them to declare war on their behalf.
Somali National Army (SNA) controls less than 25% of Somalia territory. The Al Shabaab terrorist group controls large areas of Somalia. Shouldn’t defeat of Al Shabaab be SNA’s top priority?
There has been reports that SNA was being mobilised at the Kenyan border between the towns of Bula Hawa (Beled Hawo) in Somalia and Mandera in Kenya.
Consider the following:
1. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia a long time ago. Yet, SNA has been unable to do anything about it.
2. Al Shabaab has killed thousands of innocent Somalis over the years.
- 2 months ago, at least 13 Somali troops were killed by the al-Shabab armed group near the district of Afgoye, northwest of the capital, Mogadishu.
In August, 2020, 10 civilians and a police officer were killed in a gun-and-bomb attack by al-Shabab on an upscale beachfront hotel in the capital.
- The al-Shabab claimed responsibility for December 2019 enormous car bombing in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu that killed at least 81 people.
- On 14 October 2017, two truck bombings took place in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, killing at least 587 people and injuring 316 others. Once again, Al Shabaab was responsible for this massacre of mostly civilians.
Given the above, one would expect focus of Somalia Government to be about vanquishing al-Shabab and restoring law and order in the country. However, that is not the priority of the government of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo.
The problem with Somalia is that it is currently a CLIENT STATE of powerful non-African entities.
A CLIENT STATE has no foreign policy. Its foreign policy is what their foreign bosses say it is. Somalia government’s non-African bosses want the country to remain UNSTABLE in perpetuity.
Will President Farmaajo declare war on Kenya, yet his country doesn’t have a single tank, because that is what the powerful non-African entities, of whom Somalia is a CLIENT STATE want, so they - the powerful non-African entities - can attack Kenya thru proxy?
If Somalia declares war on Kenya, Kenya government must immediately sever diplomatic relations with Israel and Turkey.
That is the least Kenya can do - to let the world know who is behind Somalia government’s hostile attitude towards Kenya.
On paper, the ocean boundary dispute is between Kenya versus Somalia. In reality, it is Kenya vs Israel/Turkey. Kenya is extremely disadvantaged.
Not surprisingly, when Kenya sent lawyers to the ICJ regarding the case, they were shocked to find that Somalia was represented by some of the best and most expensive lawyers in the world.
How was that possible, yet at that time, the government in Somalia did not even control a single village, town or city?
NOTE: Kenya is among very few African countries whose citizens are not found desperately crossing the Mediterranean to migrate to Europe. Some powerful non-African actors do not like that.
