Ethiopia called the accusations of the Somalia government in connection with the proliferation of firearms “baseless”

Toronto – A week or so after the Federal Republic of Somalia made allegations against Ethiopia in connection with the proliferation of firearms within the country, Ethiopia is responding to it.
On Friday, the spokesperson of the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement in English and Somali languages expressing its “deep concern” about the proliferation of firearms in the region.
“it should be underlined that Ethiopia is deeply concerned about the proliferation of trafficking of small arms and light weapons in the Horn of Africa. As the region is challenged by ongoing conflicts, unchecked coastal lines as well as unsecured borders, it is imperative for countries of the region to coordinate their efforts in fighting such crimes,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
About ten days ago, militiamen in the central Galmudug State of Somalia reportedly intercepted Somalia’s National Intelligence Officers as they were transporting two trucks of firearms including machine guns and RPG launchers as they were being transported to Mogadishu. Ten Somali National Intelligence officers, including one senior officer, were killed during a shout-out with the militia forces who later managed to get away with the arms.
The government of Somalia has been making allegations that the two trucks of firearms originated from Ethiopia. The Somaliland government has been accusing the government in Mogadishu of it.
Ethiopia has not been responding to the allegations until today.
A letter from the office of the spokesperson of the MFAE said “Ethiopia would like to reiterate its steadfastness in fighting terrorism and the proliferation of illegal trafficking of small arms, light weapons, and improvised explosives.”
The relationship between Ethiopia and Somalia soured after the former and Somaliland -the breakaway region of Somalia that has existed as a de facto state for about thirty-three years – signed a memorandum of understanding on January 1, 2024. When completed, the agreement would give Ethiopia a 20-kilometer stretch of coastal land for a commercial and military purpose on 50 years of lease terms while Somaliland would be recognized as a sovereign state.
The Federal government of Somalia saw the development as a violation of its over-nighting (something that Somaliland rejects) and has been mobilizing political and military support.
Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, President of Somalia, has been in Eritrea – with whom Ethiopia’s relation has deteriorated too – about three times. On Wednesday, Eritrea suspended Ethiopian Airlines flights to Asmara as of September 30, 2024.

I know who did it, the one who is smuggling firearms into Somalia. It is Ziad Barre. I saw him with my own eyes first on a big boat loaded with AK47’s and RPG’s on the Indian Ocean. It is him raised from the dead thru Hassan Sheik Mahmoud. Now Somalia is ready to take back territories taken away from her by Oromos in 2004 that includes Deder, Dire Dawa, Horomaya, Chelenqo, Doba, Mulu, Ciro, Mieso, Asabot, Kora, Harba(Bordode), Hirna, Kuni, Mechara, Galamso, the whole Arsi, Bale and Awash. Way to go Mahmoud!!!
On another front, the liberation of Ethiopia from the two people of Oromos and Amharas is going very well according to the plan. The liberation was begun by a 500-brigade strong mechanized corps of Piccolo Roma spearheaded by 35 squadrons of the latest SU-49 fighter jets. The GERD dam was run over by the indomitable Piccolo Roma army and was handed over to the management staff from Al-Qahirah, which has begun the construction of a huge pipeline deep underground that will stretch all the way to Alexandria. The pipeline has the capacity of delivering 1 billion cups of fresh water to Al-Qahirah per minute.
On the southern front, the almighty forces of Somalia flanked by a detachment from Ankara has reached the capital Addis/Finfinne. PM Abiy is said to have fled the country and is now living in an abandoned building in Minneapolis surrounded by adoring bigots and connivers. Folks, the destroying of all Oromos and Amharas is now accomplished. Every Oromo and Amhara is eliminated. Effective today no one is allowed to use the word Ethiopia in his/her conversation. If you do, the penalty is death by hanging.
Ethiopia is dead! Ethiopia is dead and gone!!! Here is something for you Oromummaas, Neftegnas and Woyanes! Nana, nana, nana, nanah!!!!!

Don’t forget that that force is a reason for your peace at Mogadishu now!!!

Guess what folks! I just ran an effective commando operation in the specific area of the Horn of Africa and was able to capture an outfit most hated by my dear friends of bigots and connivers in Minnesota, Toronto, LA, Michigan, Oslo and Down Under. The outfit I personally capture is called Ethiopia. It is in captivity now in my barracks and will face a military court I set up and the penalty is death by firing squad. So enjoy and go out celebrate that your nightmare will be destroyed and gone soon. Go out with your cringe-worthy zerrafs and gerersaas and have a bowl!!!!
