Why is there a diplomatic row between Somalia and the UAE? – BBC Africa



Somalia has cancelled all defence, security and port agreements with the United Arab Emirates, accusing the Gulf state of undermining its sovereignty by working directly with the self-governing regions of Somaliland, Puntland and Jubaland.

  1. The little puppet Emerates is nothing but greedy trouble maker and transnational pirate entity. It has wrought havoc not only in Somalia but also committed a wholesale genocide in Sudan. Emerates did the same thing in Yemen and Libya as well. It kept subversively destabilizating of Somalia over decade by aiding, abating, funding and arming alshabab terror group while sowing division among regional states and federal government of Somalia through bribery, curruption and fake investment scam, among other things. It has been plundering Somalia's natural resources and illegally occupied its strategic ports assets for almost free of charge. And now it has sold and outsourced both Somalia's coast waters and land to Isreal 's destructive securiy and military complex and its violent expensionist policy directly into Somalia's sovreignity territory and to the region as a whole. This comes through in the pretex of an illegal and token recognition of lone seperatist Somali clan pocket in northern regions of Somalia. There can never be an outright crime and policy blunder relations and dealings between two
    sovereign inter-states than this.

Believe Jesus died for all your sins, by he who shed his BLOOD for you on the cross, past, present and future and after three days rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) that said in the scriptures. 2. Admit your sinner a you need him. 3.

The alternative to not accepting is the 7 year tribulation, gods judgement and trail of the left behind, hell on earth. 21 wraths are place on this earths. the 7 seals, the 7 trumpets, and the 7 vials/bowels (base on translation).

Where they will force you to take the mark of the beast which on right hand or forehead, were you must have this too have normal life (food, water, internet, ect).

Yes Lucifer the evil one will rule for 7 years and force people rich an poor to worship him attack those who apose his rule even he will trick all to see he is the messiah. Jesus will return at the end of the 7 tribulation with us saints to put Lucifer into the pit and Jesus rule 1000 years. The non believer will be judge a your nam not on book of life, cast to lake of fire, aplace forever seperated from God and eternal torment.

  3. هل تعرفون ان صومالى لاند كانت مستعمرة بريطانية يا مقدمي القناة يعني صومالى لاند كانت دولة قبل ان نتحد الاتحاد المشؤم

  4. Emarates has deceived and betrayed the Somali government by missusing agreements under cover of assisstance.
    It was arming the regional administrations against the government and creating divisions among them. Some times we heard that Emarates used money to encourage separatism and rebellions in Somalia.

  5. South governing regions! That’s an absolute false statement right there, Jubaland and Putland don’t govern themselves unlike Somaliland. She made that statement to undermine Somaliland’s sovereignty. Somalis always lie about the history of Somaliland and Somalia because they don’t want the world to see that Somaliland and Somalia were to nations who existed on their own rights. But Somaliland tried to unite with the Southern side of Somalia which didn’t work out well for the Somaliland people and the unification was never ratified

  6. The Historical Truth: Somali Unity is Non-Negotiable! 🇸🇴
    For those attempting to distort history, let the facts speak for themselves:
    1️⃣ The Flag of Unity: The blue flag with the five-pointed white star 🇸🇴 was created in 1954. It was flown at the United Nations headquarters long before 1960 as a symbol for all five Somali regions. It was never a regional or tribal banner, but the ultimate symbol of a single Somali identity.
    2️⃣ The Colonial Tactic: The British granted independence on June 26th specifically to create confusion and division, hoping to maintain a foothold in the North. However, overwhelming public pressure forced their hand. July 1st, 1960, was the unified date for sovereignty. The North never existed as a separate sovereign state; it immediately moved to Mogadishu to finalize the birth of the Somali Republic.
    3️⃣ The Will of the People: Secession is not a collective desire of the North. Major clans such as the Ciise, Gadabuursi, Dhulbahante, and Warsangeli remain staunchly committed to Somali unity.
    ⚠️ The Critical Question: How can a single clan (Isaaq) unilaterally declare statehood? Can three cities—Hargeisa, Burco, and Berbera—constitute a legitimate country while the vast majority of Northern territories stand firmly with the rest of Somalia?
    History cannot be rewritten to suit a narrow agenda. The blue flag represents us all, from Zeyla to Ras Kamboni. Somali unity is a reality, not an option! 🇸🇴💯

  7. Somalia is dying a quick death as the African troops who protect it from it's own people are leaving for good. President Xasan Sheekh is preparing to escape the city. Maybe his ministers will join him in Minnesota

  8. No one needs to confuse with the three names ending land . Both Putland and Jubaland are part and parcel of Somalia i.e Regions of Somalia like galmudug and Koonfur- galbeed.The Republic of Somaliland is a sovereign country that has nothing to do with Somalia, it was already defacto state from 1991 up until it's Rerecogntion came from Israel on 26th Dec.2025.

  9. It's British diplomatic war using Israelis to do dirty work,if Britain wants to split Somalia. Scotland will be split from From Britain. Scottish referendum 🤝 will be funded by the Somalis/Arabs worldwide

  10. Somalia, often regarded as the most failed nation in the world, does not exist. It is imaginary for all practical purposes. It is disintegrating and will soon disappear from the face of the earth. Somalia has no claim on Somaliland. In the colonial era, they were under different colonial powers, and Somaliland was the first to gain its independence on June 26,1960. Somaliland was recognized by 35 member states of the United Nations, including all the superpowers. Somalia gained independence on July 01,1960 and united with Somaliland. Long story short, that union never worked and finally collapsed after Afweyne's of Somalia went to war with the people of Somaliland and committed the most heinous genocide against them. Over two hundred thousand of the unarmed civilian population were killed, and over half a million were displaced and ended up as refugees in Ethiopia. All the infrastructures were completely destroyed, and all the cities were leveled to the ground. In 1991, Somaliland reclaimed its lost independence and has since been a fully functioning, stable, and successful country. Somaliland and Somalia will never unite or coexist. There is no hope at all; therefore, it is time for the world to realize the fact and agree on the separation of the two.

  11. Somalia is not a country
    Somalia no government
    Somalia No security
    Somalia No safety
    One-person, one-vote elections are not held in Somalia because no safety ,Somalia's security is controlled by 35 governments, and Somalis in the south of their country have turned to terrorism after losing hope,
    I have brought this information to the international community as a citizen of the Republic of Somaliland, a neighboring country of the collapsed government of Somalia. Somaliland is a stable country that has enjoyed peace for 35 years. Every five years, elections are held on a one-person, one-vote basis, and the people of the Republic of Somaliland elect a president of their own choosing. Somaliland is a country that is suitable for business and investment, as db world, which is an example of investment in the international port of Africa, Berbera in the Sahel region, in the Republic of Somaliland.

  12. Dead nation with speaking reckless annexation of Somaliland as part of them. Time will define write and mold the groovy edges of history
    BBC Somali RADIO BROADCASTING law cost presentations to all non ratified reports
