Somalis are appalled @ATMIS_Somalia allowed #Ethiopian army in #Baidoa to abuse the proud military #history of our @SNAForce by adoring and glorifying #SovietUnion alliance’s acts of aggression against #Somalia in #Karamardha as part of 1977-78 #WesternSomalia #Liberation War-1/4
These abhorrent antics are not only an affront to Somalia’s sovereignty, dignity and sensibility but are also against the Status of Mission Agreement #SOMA signed by @amisomsomalia. Article VI addresses conduct of #AMISOM and #ATMIS personnel who are required to always adhere to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
#Somalia must demand answers from @ATMIS_Somalia and @_AfricanUnion for #Ethiopia’s appalling violations of #SOMA. @MOFASomalia must also summon Ethiopia’s Ambassador and demand an apology from @mfaethiopia for the abuse of Somalia’s military #history and national sensibility-3/4
Sources confirm to @ArlaadiMnetwork media that @Laftagareen doubles his efforts to stress the ongoing preps for the planned reconciliation meeting set to kick off in #Baidoa soon despite the missing Jan 5 deadline. The technical team organizing the meeting arrived in Baidoa today
Speaker @AadanMadobe who recently appointed the committee made last-minute amends to its members, removing staunch supporters of @Laftagareen who vowed to support his illegal mandate extension. SWS Council of Presidential Candidates demanded their removal from the committee.
Further, as part of his efforts to stress the planned meeting, @Laftagareen demanded the removal of Yusuf Isack from the committee chairman but failed to materialize. SWS's outgoing cabinet held a weekly meeting yesterday in Baidoa to discuss the planned meeting.
BREAKING: @ArlaadiMnetwork obtained a secret audiotape recorded during a phone call between the outgoing SWS Prez @Laftagareen and the @SoPoliceForce Commissioner of #Bay region, Amin Mohamed Darur. #Somalia
The tape depicts Commissioner Amin giving a thorough report to his boss,@Laftagareen, following a deadly crack against the opposition in #Baidoa, the capital city of #Bay region. #Somalia
Further, Pol Commander Amin Mohamed vehemently confesses that he will shoot down any plane carrying the opposition to the city. This backs @Laftagareen's recent directives to state security forces in #Baidoa Airport, ordering the use of military force to block civilian airplanes.
FLASHBACK - On Dec 2018, #Baidoa city of SWS hosted one of the deadliest elections in #Somalia. A mass demos spurred after @TheVillaSomalia abducted presidential candidate, Muktar Robow, to pave way for its Manchurian Candidate, the current head of the state, @Laftagareen.
On the 13 of Dec, then SWS interim head, Abdulkadir Sheikhuna, summoned Robow for a meeting in the @amisomsomalia protected area of sector 3. After arriving at the main gate, ENDF forcibly snatched Robow from his car and used his shirt to blindfold him. As per the @UN report.
Despite the recently booted AU-SRCC to Somalia @AmbFMadeira's denial of ENDF involvement in Robow's abduction, incontrovertible evidence poured into his office. After that event, Amb Madeira joined @TheVillaSomalia's inner circle and furthered his vicious diplomatic performances

Ethiopian troops have killed 11 civilians and one member of parliament during elections in #Baidoa. They have sent a plane full of soldiers to try and intervene in #Kismayo during elections. How is this country a contributing member of a 'peace-keeping' mission in #Somalia?!!!!
#AMISOM is discredited and now directly and openly involved in Somalia politics and internal affairs!! Exit plan needed and urgently. They went from a 'peace-keeping' mission to a threat to stability of Somalia!!!
#Somalia under Farmaajo is moving closer and closer to loose confederation at best, #Yugoslavia-style split of the nation at worst!! It seems N&N are totally opposed to the very idea of federalism and prefer a return to the dictatorship days! Nostalgia for doomed days is madness!
30 years of brutal civil war, recurring droughts/famine, serious corruption, high levels of unemployment, and short sighted/very selfish politicians - with no solution in sight is pushing some of us to consider the unimaginable: to save Somalis #Somalia might have to be split-up!
Last December I worked on a 'resilience' research in #Kismayo, #Baidoa, and #Beledweyn. My team and I interviewed nearly 500 people in these cities on how they cope with displacement, conflict, climate change. The answers were heartbreaking! Their living conditions traumatizing!!
1/ #AMISOM gets its first #Ethiopian🇪🇹 Force Commander. The last time Ethiopia offered to play this role in 2016, the proposed deal fell through...
2/ In early 2016, #Ethiopia🇪🇹 proposed taking the #AMISOM FC position if it could deploy an additional 1,000 troops into AMISOM & deploy a contingent to #Mogadishu. This was rejected in favor of a #Djibouti🇩🇯 FC. See p.201 amazon.com/Fighting-Peace…
3/ It's an interesting time for an #Ethiopian🇪🇹 #AMISOM FC given recent events around #Baidoa w the detention of #Robow involving #ENDF troops; the #AlShabaab ambush of ENDF convoys; & ongoing unilateral ENDF helicopter operations.
BREAKING Ethiopian forces in Baidoa arrest former #Alshabab deputy leader Mukhtar Robow and presidential candidate of south west regional state in raid #Somalia
Update Chief campaigner of Robow told Dalsan that Ethiopian troops tortured the candidate during the raid #Somalia
