Mogadishu (PP Mews Desk) — The Federal Authorities of Somalia pushes to switch SSC-Khaatumo chief, Abdulkadir Firdhiye, following the latter’s criticism of the British authorities for “being biased in the direction of the secessionist Somaliland Administration”. Villa Somalia construed Firdhiye’s criticism as an try and usurp Mogadishu’s function to formulate overseas coverage.
The Federal Authorities of Somalia goals to make use of SSC-Khaatumo interim administration as a leverage with out advocating a federal member standing for the Laascaanood-based authority nonetheless seen as part of Puntland State of Somalia below the federal electoral legal guidelines. Puntland State helps the SSC-Khaatumo authority to develop into a separate administration consistent with the February 6 Laascaanood Declaration of 2023.
A number of components decide the coverage of the federal authorities to take care of SSC-Khaatumo authority. Outright assist for SSC-Khaatumo adversely impacts the aim of President Hassan Sheikh to safe the votes of the Dir clan within the bicameral legislature to impact amendments to the draft federal structure. With relations between Mogadishu and Hargeisa at an all time low following the unlawful maritime Memorandum of Understanding to lease coastal district to Ethiopia, the Damuljadid clique (President Mohamud’s internal circle) makes guarantees to each Khaatumo MPs and Dir MPs consistent with the political targets of the 2 political antagonists.
Firdhiye defended the Djibouti summit of December 2023 as “a union convention” though the renewed settlement between the Federal Authorities of Somalia and Somaliland Administration unexpectedly failed to deal with the battle in Sool. The summit legitimated l secession claims embedded within the settlement that resulted within the forcible displacement of 1,600 Somalis in Laascaanood in 2021 and the six month-long shelling of the district by Somaliland forces. The SSC-Khaatumo chief depends on the recommendation of MPs and Senators from SSC-Khaatumo administration who elevate his expectations about what the federal authorities might do to advertise the standing of the fledgling and self-supporting political authority in Laascaanood.
“Firdhiye should assessment his political communication. To date he has dedicated two expensive political gaffes. He mustn’t have defended the trilateral Djibouti summit of December 2023 as a union summit. It was a summit that compromised the sovereignty of Somalia” stated a political analyst in Mogadishu. Had Firdhiye constructively criticised the trilateral Djibouti summit, he would have been hailed as a pacesetter who had foreseen the unlawful maritime Memorandum of Understanding signed in Addis Ababa by Somaliland Administration President Muse Bihi and the Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed.
