Why two East African Armies have two different Command centers in Somalia


Why two east African Armies have two different command centers in Somalia?
  • I would like to give not only an opinion but facts about the "ongoing Somali conflict" and Why Kenya is wrong on this one. First of All as Kenyan Ministers said "Somali government was re-established in Maghabaati,Kenya in 2003-2004" but the fact is the Kenyan government at that time where neutral and the Ethiopian government was running the Show with “Warlords-Drug-barons" and Former President Abdullahi Yusuf. From let's say the 80" the different governments of Ethiopia had a plan to sub-divide the Somali Republic in Mini-Clan-Enclaves like Somali-Land , Punt land and Bay-Bakol land,Benadir land and the latest Jubbaland( now called Azania) which General Omar Haji and the Ethiopians could not agree in establishing in 1996-1998. There are two questions now: why the Kenyan which has always supported the Unity and territorial Integrity of Somalia has changed its position and has joined the Ethiopian Idea that Somalia must be sub-divided in Mini-Clan enclaves-Bantustan States run by clans which are fighting against each other as regional- States? What is the financial/economic motivation behind this new policy? And why Amisom which is fighting Al-Shabaab is finding itself isolated with the TFG when is at its best in the War against Al-Shabaab? Why Ethiopia and Kenya are ganging up against Uganda and Burundi both in the East-African Union? All this are big question and I will start with the new creature called” Azania” the brain-child of Mr.Gandi which is the Old game of the Ethiopians with a new name. Mr. Gandi got finances from the French Oil company Total Inc. which he promised the rights of future Oil explorations in Jubbaland and Gedo and (4) four months ago he declared himself President in a Hotel in Nairobi. But now looks he convinced the Kenya establishment that a “satellite regional government” with him as a President will defend the security of Kenya and will cushion against the terror group Al-Shabaab. The only problems is why not pass through the TFG and Amisom and make a multilateral move? Why not use the good offices of the U.N and African Union? From the latest interviews on the BBC things are getting out of hand and it looks there is regional- geopolitical dispute which is getting dirty with Somali clan- connotation and affiliations. Somalia needs real friends who are Fighting Al-Shabaab within the framework of African Union and United Nations but most of All there is a already a contingent of An African Army sanctioned by the International community and I do not think we need two different command centers of African Armies. I believe The African Union and the U.N must intervene fast in this “war of words” before it got out of hand and the enemies of the Rule of Law in Somalia, democratic-federal - institutions come back to run the Somalia Agenda in East Africa. Wait and see.
